[0025] 1 , a method for wireless pairing of a mobile monitoring device according to an embodiment of the present application is exemplarily described.

[0026] The mobile monitoring device in the embodiment of the present application includes a master device and a slave device. At least one of the master device and the slave device can be removably fixed to a user (e.g., a patient) to obtain the user's basic physiological parameters (e.g., electrocardiogram, body temperature, etc.) to achieve mobile monitoring of the user. The master device has a processor and a first communication module, and the slave device has a first communication module. The first communication module can be one of the following communication modules: a Bluetooth communication module, a WiFi communication module, or a WMTS (wireless medical telemetry services) communication module. The processor can be a single-chip microcomputer or other device or component with computing and processing capabilities.

[0027] The method for wireless pairing of a mobile monitoring device includes the following steps:

[0028] S100: In pairing mode, the master device obtains a broadcast signal sent by a first communication module of a slave device within a preset time.

[0029] Specifically, the first communication module of the slave device can be configured to continuously transmit a broadcast signal at a certain time interval. The broadcast signal includes address information, which can be used by the external device to pair with the slave device to establish a communication connection. When the master device is in pairing mode, the processor obtains the broadcast signal sent by the first communication module of the slave device received within a preset time (e.g., 500 milliseconds, 1 second, or other suitable time) through the first communication module. In some embodiments, when the master device is triggered to enter pairing mode, the processor obtains the broadcast signal sent by the first communication module of the slave device received within a preset time (e.g., 500 milliseconds, 1 second, or other suitable time) after entering pairing mode through the first communication module. It should be noted that the time interval between the first communication module of the slave device transmitting the broadcast signal is less than the preset time. In some embodiments, when the master device is not in pairing mode, the master device does not receive the broadcast signal sent by the slave device (or other external device) and cannot establish a communication connection with the slave device; when the master device enters pairing mode, the master device begins to receive the broadcast signal sent by the slave device (or other external device).

[0030] S200: When broadcast signals sent by multiple slave devices are acquired, one of the multiple slave devices is determined as a target pairing device according to the signal strength of the broadcast signal sent by each slave device within a preset time.

[0031] Specifically, because the first communication module of the slave device is configured to continuously transmit broadcast signals at regular intervals, the master device may receive broadcast signals from multiple slave devices in pairing mode, of which typically only one is the target device for pairing with the master device. The master device determines the target device from among the multiple slave devices based on the signal strength of the broadcast signals transmitted by each slave device within a preset time period, that is, based on the signal strength of the broadcast signals received by the master device within a preset time period.

[0032] In some embodiments, step S200 includes:

[0033] S210: Calculate a statistical value of the signal strength of the broadcast signal sent by each slave device within a preset time.

[0034] Specifically, the processor in the master device performs statistical calculations on the signal strength of the broadcast signal sent by each slave device within a preset time and received through the first communication module to obtain a statistical value, which is used to characterize the quality of the signal strength of each broadcast signal. In some embodiments, the statistical value may be the mean of the signal strength of the broadcast signal within the preset time. In some embodiments, the statistical value may be the median of the signal strength of the broadcast signal within the preset time. In some embodiments, the statistical value may be the peak value of a histogram of the signal strength of the broadcast signal within the preset time.

[0035] S220: Compare the statistical values ​​of the signal strengths of the multiple broadcast signals, and determine the target paired device according to the comparison result.

[0036] Specifically, the processor in the master device compares the statistical values ​​of the signal strengths of multiple broadcast signals, for example, sorting the statistical values ​​from large to small or from small to large, to determine the broadcast signal with the best signal strength (largest statistical value), and then determine that the slave device sending the broadcast signal is the target pairing device.

[0037] In some embodiments, step S220 includes:

[0038] S221: Sort the statistical values ​​in order from large to small or from small to large.

[0039] S222: Obtain the difference between the maximum statistical value among the plurality of statistical values ​​and the statistical values ​​ranked adjacent to the maximum statistical value, that is, obtain the difference between the maximum statistical value and the second largest statistical value.

[0040] S223: Determine whether the current pairing is successful based on the size relationship between the difference and a preset threshold range.

[0041] Specifically, in step S223, when the difference is greater than or equal to a preset threshold range, the current pairing is determined to be successful, and the slave device corresponding to the maximum statistical value is used as the target pairing device. When the difference is less than the preset threshold range, the current pairing is determined to have failed. It should be noted that the successful pairing here refers to the processor successfully determining the target pairing device (the slave device corresponding to the maximum statistical value), rather than successfully establishing a communication connection. In some embodiments, the preset threshold range can refer to a preset single threshold.

[0042] Because the signal strength of the broadcast signal emitted by the slave device is not necessarily stable, the signal strength of the target device may not be optimal. In other words, when the difference between the largest statistical value and the second largest statistical value is very small, it is impossible to accurately determine which slave device corresponds to the statistical value that is the target device. If the slave device corresponding to the largest statistical value is directly used as the target device for pairing, there is a possibility of mispairing. Through the above steps S221-S223, the target device can be accurately determined, effectively reducing the possibility of mispairing.

[0043] In some embodiments, when the difference in step S223 is less than a preset threshold range and it is determined that the current pairing has failed, steps S100, S210, and S221-S223 are repeated. It should be noted that repeating step S100 means that in pairing mode, the master device obtains a broadcast signal sent by the first communication module of the slave device within the next preset time.

[0044] S300: Establishing a communication connection between the main device and the target pairing device through the address information in the broadcast signal of the target pairing device.

[0045] Specifically, since the broadcast signal sent from the first communication module of the slave device contains address information, when the processor determines the target pairing device, it can establish a communication connection with the target pairing device based on the address information in the broadcast signal sent by the target pairing device. For Bluetooth communication module, WiFi communication module or WMTS communication module, when knowing the address information, the specific process of establishing a communication connection is known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. In some embodiments, when a communication connection is established between the main device and the target pairing device, the target pairing device can send information (such as the measurement result of the sensor on the target pairing device) to the main device through the first communication module. In some embodiments, when a communication connection is established between the main device and the target pairing device, the target pairing device can send information (such as the measurement result of the sensor on the target pairing device) to the main device through the first communication module, and the main device can also send information (such as a control signal to the sensor on the target pairing device) to the target pairing device through the first communication module.

[0046] Generally, the closer the distance between the master device and the slave device is, the stronger the signal strength of the broadcast signal emitted by the slave device obtained by the master device. Therefore, compared with the method for wireless pairing of the mobile monitoring device in the embodiment of the present application, it is only necessary to ensure that the slave device (target pairing device) to be paired with the master device is in a very close position to the master device when the master device is in pairing mode. The communication connection between the master device and the target pairing device can be automatically established without the master device (or slave device) displaying the list of devices it has searched for, nor does the user need to select the corresponding device in the displayed device list. This effectively reduces the user's operation process, effectively reduces the probability of mispairing, and improves the usability of the product. In some embodiments, even if the master device (or slave device) does not have a display interface or the display interface does not have interactive capabilities, the pairing process can be conveniently implemented through the above pairing method.

[0047] In some embodiments, the master device is configured to detect whether there is communication with the second communication module according to a preset period, wherein the communication distance of the second communication module is less than 100 cm. A second communication module is provided on the slave device that needs to be paired with the master device (that is, the target pairing device), which is used to trigger the master device to enter pairing mode. When the master device detects the communication of the second communication module, it means that the master device and the target pairing device are already at a very close distance. At this time, the master device can accurately establish a wireless communication connection with the target pairing device through the above steps S100-S300. In other words, the user only needs to make the master device and the target pairing device very close (less than 100 cm), and the master device can automatically establish a communication connection with the target pairing device, which is very simple and convenient to operate.

[0048] Accordingly, before step S100, the method for wireless pairing of the mobile monitoring device further includes the following steps:

[0049] S10: Upon sensing communication with a slave device having a second communication module, the master device enters pairing mode. The slave device having the second communication module is the target pairing device. After the master device enters pairing mode, steps S100-S300 are performed.

[0050] In some embodiments, the second communication module can be an NFC (Near Field Communication) tag, which is affixed to the target pairing device. Correspondingly, an NFC module is also provided on the master device, which is used to detect whether there is communication with the NFC tag according to a preset period. In some embodiments, the NFC module on the master device can be configured to operate in active mode, which sends out a radio frequency signal according to a preset period and detects whether a response from the NFC tag is received. The NFC tag affixed to the target pairing device can be configured to operate in passive mode, which only sends out a corresponding response when it receives a radio frequency signal sent by the NFC module on the master device. When the master device receives the response, its NFC module enters pairing mode. In some embodiments, the NFC tag can also be built into the target pairing device.

[0051] In some embodiments, the master device is provided with a physical button that, when pressed, triggers the master device to enter pairing mode. After the master device enters pairing mode, steps S100-S300 are performed. In other words, the user only needs to bring the master device and the target device very close together and press the physical button on the master device, and the master device will automatically establish a communication connection with the target device. This makes the operation very simple and convenient.

[0052] Accordingly, before step S100, the method for wireless pairing of the mobile monitoring device further includes the following steps:

[0053] S20: In response to the operation on the physical button, trigger the master device to enter the pairing mode.

[0054] Specifically, in some embodiments, the physical button is used to control the on / off state of a detection circuit (e.g., the physical button is off when not pressed and on when pressed). The processor determines whether an operation has been performed on the physical button (whether the physical button has been pressed) based on the on / off state of the detection circuit. When the processor determines that an operation has been performed on the physical button (whether the physical button has been pressed), the processor controls the master device to enter pairing mode in response to the operation on the physical button. After the master device enters pairing mode, steps S100-S300 are performed.

[0055] In some embodiments, the master device has an operation interface, which may be a touchscreen display interface. The operation interface includes a pairing mode option. The user can control the master device to enter pairing mode by selecting this option. After the master device enters pairing mode, steps S100-S300 are performed. In other words, the user only needs to place the master device and the target device in close proximity and select the pairing mode option on the master device's operation interface. The master device will then automatically establish a communication connection with the target device, making operation very simple and convenient.

[0056] Accordingly, before step S100, the method for wireless pairing of the mobile monitoring device further includes the following steps:

[0057] S30: In response to a selection operation on a pairing mode option, trigger the master device to enter the pairing mode.

[0058] Specifically, in some embodiments, the touch screen of the master device displays an operation interface, and the touch screen is also used to detect user operations on the touch screen. When the processor on the master device determines, based on the detection results of the touch screen, that the pairing mode option in the display interface is selected, the processor controls the master device to enter pairing mode in response to the selection operation of the pairing mode option. After the master device enters pairing mode, steps S100-S300 described above are performed.

[0059] In some embodiments, the master device further includes a microphone for receiving a voice control signal. The processor of the master device is configured to determine whether the voice control signal is a preset voice control signal. When the voice control signal is a preset voice control signal, the master device is controlled to enter pairing mode. After the master device enters pairing mode, steps S100-S300 are performed. In other words, the user only needs to bring the master device and the target paired device very close together and speak a specific voice (preset voice control signal) for the master device to automatically establish a communication connection with the target paired device, making the operation very simple and convenient.

[0060] Accordingly, before step S100, the method for wireless pairing of the mobile monitoring device further includes the following steps:

[0061] S40: When the voice control signal for controlling entry into the pairing mode is acquired, the master device enters the pairing mode.

[0062] Specifically, in some embodiments, the processor of the master device determines whether the voice control signal received through the microphone is a preset voice control signal for controlling the master device to enter pairing mode. If the judgment is yes, the processor controls the master device to enter pairing mode. After the master device enters pairing mode, the above steps S100-S300 are performed.

[0063] In some embodiments, when the master device is not in pairing mode, the master device's processor receives broadcast signals from the slave device via the first communication module, obtains the signal strength of each broadcast signal, and determines whether the signal strength of at least one broadcast signal exceeds a preset threshold signal strength. If so, the master device is controlled to enter pairing mode. After the master device enters pairing mode, steps S100-S300 are performed. In other words, the user only needs to bring the master device and the target device into close proximity for the master device to automatically establish a communication connection with the target device, making operation very simple and convenient.

[0064] Accordingly, before step S100, the method for wireless pairing of the mobile monitoring device further includes the following steps:

[0065] S50: When it is detected that the signal strength of the acquired broadcast signal sent by the slave device is greater than a threshold signal strength, trigger the master device to enter a pairing mode.

[0066] A mobile monitoring device according to an embodiment of the present application is exemplarily described with reference to FIG2 . The mobile monitoring device may be the mobile monitoring device in the method for wireless pairing of mobile monitoring devices in the above embodiment.

[0067] The mobile monitoring device includes a master device 100 and a slave device 200. At least one of the master device 100 and the slave device 200 can be removably fixed to a user (e.g., a patient) to obtain the user's basic physiological parameters (e.g., electrocardiogram, body temperature, etc.) to achieve mobile monitoring of the user. The master device 100 has a processor 120 and a first communication module 110, and the slave device 200 has a first communication module 120. The first communication module 110 and the first communication module 120 are one of the following communication modules: a Bluetooth communication module, a WiFi communication module, and a WMTS communication module. The processor 120 can be a single-chip microcomputer or other device or component with computing processing capabilities, which is used to perform the following steps:

[0068] S100: In pairing mode, the master device 100 obtains a broadcast signal sent by the first communication module 120 of the slave device 200 within a preset time;

[0069] S200: When broadcast signals sent by multiple slave devices 200 are acquired, one of the multiple slave devices 200 is determined as a target pairing device based on the signal strength of the broadcast signals sent by each slave device 200 within a preset time;

[0070] S300: Establishing a communication connection between the main device 100 and the target pairing device through the address information in the broadcast signal of the target pairing device.

[0071] The specific contents of steps S100-S300 have been described in detail above and will not be repeated here.

[0072] In some embodiments, the master device 100 is configured to detect whether there is communication with the second communication module according to a preset period, wherein the communication distance of the second communication module is less than 100 cm. A second communication module is provided on the slave device 200 (i.e., the target pairing device) that needs to be paired with the master device 100, which is used to trigger the master device 100 to enter pairing mode. When the master device 100 detects the communication of the second communication module, it means that the master device 100 and the target pairing device are already in a very close distance. At this time, the master device 100 can accurately establish a wireless communication connection with the target pairing device through the above steps S100-S300. In other words, the user only needs to make the master device 100 and the target pairing device be in a very close position (less than 100 cm), and the master device 100 can automatically establish a communication connection with the target pairing device, which is very simple and convenient to operate.

[0073] Accordingly, before performing step S100, the processor 120 is further configured to perform the following steps:

[0074] When the master device 100 senses the communication of the slave device 200 with the second communication module, it enters the pairing mode. The slave device 200 with the second communication module is the target pairing device. After entering the pairing mode, the master device 100 performs the above steps S100-S300.

[0075] In some embodiments, the second communication module can be an NFC (Near Field Communication) tag, which is affixed to the target pairing device. Correspondingly, an NFC module is also provided on the main device 100, and the NFC module is used to detect whether there is communication with the NFC tag according to a preset period. In some embodiments, the NFC module on the main device 100 can be configured to work in an active mode, which sends out a radio frequency signal according to a preset period and detects whether a response from the NFC tag is received. The NFC tag affixed to the target pairing device can be configured to work in a passive mode, which only sends out a corresponding response when it receives a radio frequency signal sent by the NFC module on the main device 100. When the NFC module of the main device 100 receives the response, it enters pairing mode. In some embodiments, the NFC tag can also be built into the target pairing device.

[0076] In some embodiments, the master device 100 is provided with a physical button that, when pressed, triggers the master device 100 to enter pairing mode. After the master device 100 enters pairing mode, steps S100-S300 are performed. In other words, the user only needs to bring the master device 100 and the target device into close proximity and press the physical button on the master device 100, and the master device 100 will automatically establish a communication connection with the target device. This makes the operation very simple and convenient.

[0077] Accordingly, before performing step S100, the processor 120 is further configured to perform the following steps:

[0078] In response to an operation on a physical button, entering into pairing mode is triggered.

[0079] Specifically, in some embodiments, the physical button is used to control the on / off state of a detection circuit (e.g., the physical button is off when not pressed and on when pressed). The processor 120 determines whether an operation has been performed on the physical button (whether the physical button has been pressed) based on the on / off state of the detection circuit. When the processor 120 determines that an operation has been performed on the physical button (whether the physical button has been pressed), the processor 120 controls the master device 100 to enter pairing mode in response to the operation on the physical button. After the master device 100 enters pairing mode, steps S100-S300 are performed.

[0080] In some embodiments, the master device 100 has an operation interface, which can be a touch screen display interface. The operation interface includes a pairing mode option. The user can control the master device 100 to enter pairing mode by selecting this option. After the master device 100 enters pairing mode, steps S100-S300 described above are performed. In other words, the user only needs to place the master device 100 and the target paired device very close together and select the pairing mode option on the master device 100 operation interface. The master device 100 will automatically establish a communication connection with the target paired device, making the operation very simple and convenient.

[0081] Accordingly, before performing step S100, the processor 120 is further configured to perform the following steps:

[0082] In response to a selection operation on the pairing mode option, entry into the pairing mode is triggered.

[0083] Specifically, in some embodiments, the touch screen of the master device 100 displays an operation interface, and the touch screen is also used to detect user operations on the touch screen. When the processor 120 of the master device 100 determines that the pairing mode option in the display interface is selected based on the detection result of the touch screen, the processor 120 controls the master device 100 to enter the pairing mode in response to the selection operation of the pairing mode option. After the master device 100 enters the pairing mode, the above steps S100-S300 are performed.

[0084] In some embodiments, the master device 100 further includes a microphone for receiving a voice control signal. The processor 120 of the master device 100 is configured to determine whether the voice control signal is a preset voice control signal. When the voice control signal is a preset voice control signal, the master device 100 is controlled to enter pairing mode. After the master device 100 enters pairing mode, steps S100-S300 are performed. In other words, the user only needs to bring the master device 100 and the target paired device very close together and speak a specific voice (preset voice control signal), and the master device 100 will automatically establish a communication connection with the target paired device, making the operation very simple and convenient.

[0085] Accordingly, before performing step S100, the processor 120 is further configured to perform the following steps:

[0086] When a voice control signal for entering the pairing mode is obtained, the pairing mode is entered.

[0087] Specifically, in some embodiments, the processor 120 of the master device 100 determines whether the voice control signal received through the microphone is a preset voice control signal for controlling the master device 100 to enter the pairing mode. If the judgment is yes, the processor 120 controls the master device 100 to enter the pairing mode. After the master device 100 enters the pairing mode, the above steps S100-S300 are performed.

[0088] In some embodiments, when the master device 100 is not in pairing mode, the processor 120 of the master device 100 receives broadcast signals sent by the slave device 200 via the first communication module 110, obtains the signal strength of each broadcast signal, and determines whether the signal strength of at least one broadcast signal exceeds a preset threshold signal strength. If the determination is yes, the processor 120 controls the master device 100 to enter pairing mode. After the master device 100 enters pairing mode, steps S100-S300 described above are performed. In other words, the user only needs to bring the master device 100 and the target paired device very close together for the master device 100 to automatically establish a communication connection with the target paired device, making operation very simple and convenient.

[0089] Accordingly, before performing step S100, the processor 120 is further configured to perform the following steps:

[0090] S50: When it is detected that the signal strength of the acquired broadcast signal sent from the device 200 is greater than the threshold signal strength, triggering entry into the pairing mode.

[0091] In some embodiments, the main device 100 includes a first sensor and an accessory part, and the first sensor and the accessory part are detachably connected, and the accessory part includes at least an attachment part that is in close contact with a body part of the wearer. In some embodiments, the accessory part can be a strap-type structure for being tied to the user's arm or wrist. In some embodiments, the attachment part can be an electrode sheet attached to a specific part of the user's (e.g., patient's) body (e.g., the chest near the heart). In some embodiments, the attachment part can be a clamping structure clamped on the user's finger, and a blood oxygen probe can be provided in the clamping structure.
