[0002] In departments such as the hospital ICU, the monitor is often fixed on a suspension tower or a wall / cabinet outside the bed. As shown in the figure, due to the large number of patient monitoring parameters, there are also many cables between the monitor and the bedside monitor. When caring for patients, it is often necessary to sort out these cables, which not only affects the patient's range of movement but also causes a serious work burden on medical staff. Figure 1 As shown, due to the large number of patient monitoring parameters, there are also many cables between the monitor and the bedside monitor. When caring for patients, it is often necessary to sort out these cables, which not only affects the patient's range of movement but also causes a serious work burden on medical staff.

[0053] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings through specific implementation manners. Similar elements in different implementation manners are labeled with related similar element numbers. In the following implementation manners, many detailed descriptions are provided to enable a better understanding of the present application. However, those skilled in the art can easily recognize that some of the features can be omitted in different situations, or can be replaced by other elements, materials, or methods. In some cases, some operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification to avoid overwhelming the core part of the present application with excessive descriptions. For those skilled in the art, it is not necessary to describe these related operations in detail, and they can fully understand the related operations based on the descriptions in the specification and the general technical knowledge in the art.

[0054] In addition, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any appropriate manner to form various implementation manners. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can also be reordered or adjusted in a manner obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various sequences in the specification and the drawings are only for clearly describing a certain embodiment and do not mean a necessary sequence unless it is stated that a certain sequence must be followed.

[0055] The serial numbers assigned to the components herein, such as "first", "second", etc., are only used to distinguish the described objects and do not have any sequential or technical meaning. The "connection" and "coupling" mentioned in the present application, unless otherwise specified, both include direct and indirect connection (coupling).

[0056] For the monitoring assistance component provided by the present invention, in order to reduce the above-mentioned cables, the monitoring assistance device is installed on the bed. After the monitoring assistance device collects the data of multiple sensors, it is transmitted to the monitor by wired or wireless means, so as to achieve less wiring between the patient and the bedside monitor. For example, Figure 2 As shown, there is only one cable connected to the monitor, which is very simple.

[0057] For example, Figure 2-4As shown, the monitoring assistance component provided by the present invention includes a monitoring assistance device 20.

[0058] The monitoring assistance device 20 is used for wired connection with the physiological parameter sensor 10. Usually, the monitoring assistance device 20 is wiredly connected to multiple physiological parameter sensors 10. Since there are various physiological parameters of the patients that the monitor needs to monitor, in this embodiment, the monitoring assistance device 20 is wiredly connected to multiple different types of physiological parameter sensors 10. These physiological parameter sensors 10 are all sensors used in conjunction with the monitor to collect various types of data required by the monitor.

[0059] The physiological parameter sensor 10 is used to detect the physiological parameter signals of the patient. Different types of physiological parameter sensors 10 are used to detect different physiological parameter signals. For example, these different physiological parameter signals include: multiple of blood oxygen signal, electrocardiogram signal, body temperature signal, respiration signal, and blood pressure signal. Multiple different types of physiological parameter sensors 10 may include multiple of temperature sensor, lead, blood oxygen sensor, pressure sensor, and respiration frequency sensor. For example, it includes a temperature sensor for detecting the body temperature signal of the patient; for example, it includes a lead for detecting the electrocardiogram signal of the patient; for example, it includes a blood oxygen sensor for detecting the blood oxygen signal of the patient to obtain blood oxygen saturation data; for example, it includes a pressure sensor for detecting the blood pressure signal of the patient; for example, it includes a respiration frequency sensor for detecting the respiration frequency of the patient, etc.

[0060] The monitoring assistance device 20 also acquires the physiological parameter signals detected by the connected physiological parameter sensors 10 and outputs monitoring-related information to the monitor. That is, the various physiological parameter signals of the patient collected by the multiple physiological parameter sensors 10 are aggregated into the monitoring assistance device 20 through the cable. Among them, the monitoring-related information includes: the physiological parameter signals detected by the physiological parameter sensors 10, and / or, the physiological parameter data processed by the monitoring assistance device 20 based on the physiological parameter signals. That is to say, the physiological parameter signals detected by each physiological parameter sensor 10 are either transmitted by the monitoring assistance device 20 to the monitor 30, or processed into physiological parameter data by the monitoring assistance device 20 and then transmitted to the monitor 30. Which physiological parameter signals need to be processed into physiological parameter data and which do not can be preset. It can be seen that the monitoring assistance device 20 plays a role in collecting the data of multiple physiological parameter sensors 10 and aggregating them to the monitor 30, which can greatly reduce the number of cables of the monitor 30, and can also shorten the length of the cables of the physiological parameter sensors 10, making the cables on the hospital bed and the cables of the monitor easy to tidy up. When transporting patients, replacing monitors and other scenarios, the monitor needs to plug and unplug very few cables, which all improve the convenience of monitoring.

[0061] The present invention is equivalent to adding a monitoring auxiliary device 20 between the existing monitor and the sensor, which also brings problems such as the storage and power supply of the monitoring auxiliary device 20 that need to be solved. Commonly used medical devices are all provided with electrical sockets for electrical connection to supply power. However, in the long-term medical environment, it is extremely easy to accumulate dirt and breed germs. The monitoring auxiliary component provided by the present invention further includes a carrying device 40.

[0062] The carrying device 40 is detachably mounted on the hospital bed for placing the monitoring auxiliary device 20. In other words, the monitoring auxiliary device 20 can be fixed on the hospital bed through the carrying device 40 and can be connected to each physiological parameter sensor 10 nearby.

[0063] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the carrying device 40 may include: a mounting portion 410, a placement portion 420, and a wireless charging unit 430.

[0064] The mounting portion 410 is used for detachably mounting on the hospital bed. For example, the mounting portion 410 is a hook structure that can be hung on the guardrail of the hospital bed and is also convenient to remove. Another example is that the mounting portion 410 is a clamping structure that can be clamped on the guardrail of the hospital bed, and the disassembly and assembly are convenient. In some embodiments, the carrying device 40 may further include a locking structure (not shown in the figure), and the locking structure is used to lock the mounting portion 410 on the hospital bed, such as locking it on the guardrail of the hospital bed, so that the mounting portion 410 can adapt to guardrails of different thicknesses.

[0065] The placement portion 420 is used for placing the monitoring auxiliary device 20. For example, it may include a receiving groove that can stably receive the monitoring auxiliary device 20.

[0066] The wireless charging unit 430 is used for wirelessly powering the monitoring auxiliary device 20 placed in the placement portion 420. The wireless charging unit 430 may include a wireless charging coil. It can be seen that placing the monitoring auxiliary device 20 in the carrying device 40 can perform wireless charging, which is very convenient. Moreover, the wireless charging method eliminates the electrical socket for power supply, does not accumulate dirt, and is convenient for cleaning and disinfection.

[0067] The carrying device 40 is wired to the monitor 30. Specifically, the carrying device 40 can be wired to the monitor 30 through a cable L, so as to obtain electrical energy from the monitor 30 and use the obtained electrical energy to wirelessly power the monitoring auxiliary device 20 through the wireless charging unit 430.

[0068] There are various implementation manners for the carrying device 40 to be wired to the monitor 30 through the cable L. Two examples are given below for illustration. As Figure 3As shown, in one case, the carrying device 40 itself integrates a cable L, and the end of the cable L has an interface for connecting to the monitor 30. Thus, the user can achieve a wired connection with the monitor 30 by connecting this interface to the monitor 30. In another case, as shown in Figure 6 and 7 shown, the carrying device 40 also has a wired interface 450, which is used for electrically connecting to the monitor 30 through the cable L. That is, the cable L plugged into the wired interface 450 is wired-connected to the monitor 30, thereby obtaining electrical energy from the monitor 30. Both ends of the cable L have interfaces, which are convenient for docking with the wired interface 450 and the monitor 30.

[0069] As shown in Figure 6 shown, the monitoring auxiliary device 20 includes: a first interface 210, a battery unit 220, and a charging receiving unit 230.

[0070] The first interface 210 is used for wired connection with the physiological parameter sensor 10 to obtain the physiological parameter signal detected by the physiological parameter sensor 10. For example, the monitoring auxiliary device 20 has a first interface 210, and this first interface 210 can be connected to multiple different types of physiological parameter sensors 10 through the cable L1. Also, for example, the monitoring auxiliary device 20 has multiple first interfaces 210, and each first interface 210 is connected to a type of physiological parameter sensor 10 through the cable L1. The quantity and type of the first interfaces 210 of the monitoring auxiliary device 20 can meet the connection requirements of all sensors of the monitor 30; of course, some first interfaces 210 can be connected to one physiological parameter sensor 10 through the cable L1, and some first interfaces 210 can be connected to multiple physiological parameter sensors 10 through the cable L1. In short, the monitoring auxiliary device 20 can be wired-connected to multiple different types of physiological parameter sensors 10 through one or more first interfaces 210.

[0071] The battery unit 220 is used to supply power to the monitoring auxiliary device 20. For example, in the case of no external power supply (such as the carrying device 40 or the monitor 30, etc.), it supplies power to the monitoring auxiliary device 20. The battery unit 220 can include a rechargeable battery or a battery compartment, etc.

[0072] The charging receiving unit 230 is adapted to the wireless charging unit 430 and is used to receive the electrical energy wirelessly transmitted by the wireless charging unit 430 and supply power to the monitoring auxiliary device 20 using the received electrical energy. The charging receiving unit 230 can include a wireless charging receiving coil.

[0073] There are various specific implementation manners for the monitoring auxiliary device 20 to output monitoring-related information to the monitor 30. Two examples are given below for illustration.

[0074] In the first method, the carrying device 40 is not only connected to the monitor 30 through a wired communication link, but also connected to the monitoring auxiliary device 20 through a wireless communication link. After the monitoring auxiliary device 20 wirelessly outputs monitoring-related information, the carrying device 40 receives the monitoring-related information wirelessly output by the monitoring auxiliary device 20. Then, the carrying device 40 transmits the monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 through a wired connection, that is, the carrying device 40 outputs the monitoring-related information, and the monitoring-related information is transmitted to the monitor 30 through the cable L. It can be seen that the carrying device 40 is connected to the monitor 30 through the cable L, which can not only obtain power, but also output the monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 in a wired manner. In Figure 2 and Figure 4 In the shown monitoring system, the monitor 30 only needs to be connected to a single cable L, which is very convenient. The distance between the monitoring auxiliary device 20 and the carrying device 40 is very close, and the wireless communication is stable and reliable. By transmitting the monitoring-related data from the carrying device 40 to the monitor 30 through a wired connection, it is also stable and reliable.

[0075] In the second method, the carrying device 40 is also connected to the monitor 30 through a wired communication link and is connected to the monitoring auxiliary device 20 through a wireless communication link. However, the wireless communication connection between the carrying device 40 and the monitoring auxiliary device 20 is not for transmitting monitoring-related information, but for transmitting pairing information, which is used for pairing the monitor 30 and the monitoring auxiliary device 20. After the carrying device 40 is wirelessly connected to the monitoring auxiliary device 20, it transmits the pairing information required by the monitoring auxiliary device 20 and / or the pairing information required by the monitor 30. The carrying device 40 can obtain the pairing information from the monitor 30 and then transmit it to the monitoring auxiliary device 20, or obtain the pairing information from the monitoring auxiliary device 20 and then transmit it to the monitor 30. The monitoring auxiliary device 20 and the monitor 30 perform wireless pairing according to the pairing information transmitted by the carrying device 40. After the wireless pairing, the monitoring auxiliary device 20 and the monitor 30 are wirelessly connected to output the monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 wirelessly, such as transmitting the monitoring-related information through Bluetooth or WMTS (Wireless Medical Telemetry Service Module). This method can also conveniently and reliably transmit the monitoring-related information to the monitor 30.

[0076] In some embodiments, the carrying device 40 may have an antenna. After the carrying device 40 receives the monitoring-related information output by the monitoring auxiliary device 20, it outputs the monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 wirelessly through the antenna. This method can also enable the monitor 30 to receive the monitoring-related information to monitor the patient.

[0077] As can be seen from the above, the monitoring assistance device 20 mainly functions to aggregate the physiological parameter signals collected by each sensor and then centrally output them to the monitor 30. It does not have a monitoring function itself, so it may not have a display screen. The function of monitoring the patient based on the monitoring-related information is performed by the monitor 30.

[0078] After receiving the monitoring-related information, the monitor 30 can directly display it, or process the physiological parameter signals therein into physiological parameter data and then display it. It can also process at least part of the received monitoring-related information to obtain a monitoring result. In this embodiment, an example is given where all the received monitoring-related information is processed to obtain a monitoring result. The monitoring result may include the result of whether the physiological parameter exceeds the preset range, and may also include the corresponding prompt information or alarm information for this result. For example, the monitor 30 determines whether the physiological parameter exceeds the preset range according to the physiological parameter in the physiological parameter signal or physiological parameter data. If so, it indicates that the physiological parameter is abnormal, generates the corresponding prompt information or alarm information, and displays the prompt information or alarm information. The monitor 30 uses conventional means to monitor according to the data collected by various sensors, which will not be elaborated here. The monitor 30 can be a bedside monitor or a central monitoring station, etc. Any conventional monitor can be used, and the present invention does not make a limitation.

[0079] The carrying device 40 communicates wirelessly with the monitoring assistance device 20, and the monitoring assistance device 20 communicates wirelessly with the monitor 30. This can be achieved by means such as WMTS (Wireless Medical Telemetry Service Module), Bluetooth, WIFI, short-range wireless communication, etc.

[0080] In this embodiment, considering that the distance between the carrying device 40 and the monitoring assistance device 20 is very close when they are used in cooperation, short-range wireless communication is adopted for wireless communication. Specifically, the carrying device 40 further includes a short-range wireless communication unit 440 for wirelessly communicating with the monitoring assistance device 20 placed on the placement portion 420. The monitoring assistance device 20 further includes a short-range wireless communication unit 240, and the short-range wireless communication unit 240 is adapted to the short-range wireless communication unit 440 of the carrying device 40, and the two can achieve wireless communication. The short-range wireless communication units (240 and 440) may have communication coils for wireless communication. The communication distance covered by the short-range wireless communication unit can be within 10 cm. In this way, when there are many patients in the ward, there will be no interference between the monitoring assistance components of each patient, and the wireless communication with this distance has strong anti-interference ability and stability. The short-range wireless communication unit may adopt an NFMI (Near Field Magnetic Induction) unit or an NFC (Near Field Communication) unit, etc. Specifically, the communication technology adopted by the short-range wireless communication unit may include: wireless communication technologies such as high-frequency 60 GHz, NFMI or NFC that can only cover within 10 cm.

[0081] The wireless charging unit 430 and / or the short-range wireless communication unit 440 in the carrying device 40 can have various setting manners from a structural perspective. Several examples are given below for illustration.

[0082] The first setting manner is as Figure 5 shown, the wireless charging unit 430 and / or the short-range wireless communication unit 440 are arranged on an integrated component 50. The integrated component 50 is fixed on the carrying device 40 as a part of the carrying device 40, that is, the integrated component 50 and the other parts of the carrying device 40 are an integral whole and cannot be disassembled. For example, the part of the carrying device 40 other than the integrated component 50 is called the structural main body. Then the carrying device 40 includes the integrated component 50 and the structural main body, wherein the integrated component 50 is fixed on the structural main body, and the structural main body includes the above-mentioned installation portion 410 and placement portion 420, etc.

[0083] The wireless charging unit 430 and / or the short-range wireless communication unit 440 may specifically be located inside the housing of the structural main body. In this case, the housing of the structural main body is the housing of the carrying device 40. For example, the wireless charging unit 430 and / or the short-range wireless communication unit 440 are arranged on a circuit board, and the circuit board is located inside the housing of the carrying device 40.

[0084] Of course, part of the wireless charging unit 430 and / or the short-range wireless communication unit 440 may also be located inside the housing of the structural body, and the other part may be exposed outside the housing of the structural body. Specifically, the integrated component 50 is located in the placement part 420 and may be partially exposed outside the housing of the structural body. For example, the integrated component 50 includes a circuit board, and the wireless charging unit 430 and / or the short-range wireless communication unit 440 are provided on the circuit board. The integrated component 50 further includes a housing for protecting the wireless charging coil of the wireless charging unit 430 and / or the communication coil of the short-range wireless communication unit 440. The entire circuit board and the housing may both be exposed outside the housing of the structural body, or the circuit board may be located inside the housing of the structural body while the coil and / or the housing are exposed outside the housing of the structural body. Such an arrangement facilitates making the wireless charging coil and / or the communication coil closer to the monitoring auxiliary device 20, thereby improving the efficiency of the monitoring auxiliary device 20 in receiving the electrical signals emitted by the coil.

[0085] The second setting method is as Figure 8 shown. The wireless charging unit 430 and / or the short-range wireless communication unit 440 are also provided on an integrated component 50. The integrated component 50 is detachably provided on the carrying device 40, that is, the integrated component 50 can be used together with the carrying device 40 as a part of the carrying device 40 to achieve the above functions of the carrying device 40, and the integrated component 50 can also be used alone, as Figure 9 shown. The integrated component 50 may also include a circuit board and a housing. The wireless charging unit 430 and / or the short-range wireless communication unit 440 are provided on the circuit board, and the housing wraps the entire circuit board, facilitating the independent use of the integrated component 50.

[0086] In the above two setting methods, the integrated component 50 also has a cable L for wired connection with the monitor 30. The carrying device 40 is in wired communication connection with the monitor 30 through the integrated component 50. In other words, the cable L of the integrated component 50 is the cable L in the content describing the wired connection between the integrated component 50 and the monitor 30 mentioned above. In the embodiment where the carrying device 40 has a wired interface 450, the wired interface 450 can also be located on the integrated component 50. In this way, in the second setting method, the integrated component 50 can be wired-connected to the monitor 30 through the cable L, draw power from the monitor 30 for the wireless charging unit 430 and / or the short-range wireless communication unit 440 to use, and can also transmit monitoring-related information and / or pairing information to the monitor 30 through the cable L. This means that the integrated component 50 can be used independently with the monitoring assistance device 20. When the integrated component 50 is used alone, except for not having the functions of the above-mentioned mounting part 410 and placing part 420, other functions are the same as those of the aforementioned carrying device 40. Concentrate the electrical components (such as the wireless charging unit 430, the short-range wireless communication unit 440, and the wired interface 450, etc.) of the carrying device 40 on the integrated component 50, and concentrate the structural components (such as the mounting part 410, the placing part 420, etc.) of the carrying device 40 on the structural main body. In this way, in the first setting method, it is convenient to assemble the electrical components and the structural components, and in the second setting method, the electrical components and the structural components can be used independently very well.

[0087] The application scenarios of the second setting method are more. In this embodiment, the second setting method is taken as an example for illustration. As Figure 8 shown, a receiving groove 460 is provided at a position of the carrying device 40 opposite to the monitoring assistance device 20. The outer shape and size of the receiving groove 460 are adapted to the integrated component 50 and are used to receive the integrated component 50. The integrated component 50 can be conveniently placed in the receiving groove 460 so that the carrying device 40 has all the functions described above.

[0088] In still another setting method, the wireless charging unit 430 and / or the short-range wireless communication unit 440 can also be respectively arranged inside the housing of the carrying device 40 without being fixed through a unified integrated component 50. This method is relatively conventional and will not be elaborated.

[0089] In addition to being placed in the carrying device 40, the monitoring assistance device 20 can also be magnetically fixed to the carrying device 40, so that even if the hospital bed shakes, etc., it will not affect the charging and signal transmission of the monitoring assistance device 20. As Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the monitoring assistance device 20 further includes a first magnetic attraction element 270. The carrying device 40 includes a second magnetic attraction element 470. The first magnetic attraction element 270 is adapted to the second magnetic attraction element 470, where the adaptation includes position adaptation and quantity adaptation. The quantity of the first magnetic attraction element 270 and the second magnetic attraction element 470 can be one, or multiple (two or more). Usually, multiple elements are provided to enable better positioning and fixation. The first magnetic attraction element 270 and the second magnetic attraction element 470 are used to magnetically fix the monitoring assistance device 20 and the carrying device 40. The first magnetic attraction element 270 and the second magnetic attraction element 470 can both be magnets, or one of them can be a magnet and the other can be an object attracted by the magnet.

[0090] After the carrying device 40 and the monitoring assistance device 20 are magnetically fixed, their short-range wireless communication units are triggered to perform wireless communication. For example, after the carrying device 40 and the monitoring assistance device 20 are magnetically fixed, the short-range wireless communication unit 440 of the carrying device 40 and the short-range wireless communication unit 440 of the monitoring assistance device 20 are already within the effective communication distance range. After the communication coils (441 and 241) of the two short-range wireless communication units sense each other, short-range wireless communication begins.

[0091] After the carrying device 40 and the monitoring assistance device 20 are magnetically fixed, the wireless charging unit 430 can also be triggered to wirelessly power the monitoring assistance device 20. There are various specific triggering methods. For example, a contact switch is provided on the placement portion 420 of the carrying device 40. After the carrying device 40 and the monitoring assistance device 20 are magnetically fixed, the contact switch is triggered, thereby starting the wireless charging unit 430. Another example is that after the carrying device 40 and the monitoring assistance device 20 are magnetically fixed, after the short-range wireless communication unit 440 of the carrying device 40 and the short-range wireless communication unit 440 of the monitoring assistance device 20 sense each other, short-range wireless communication begins, and the wireless charging unit 430 is started.

[0092] The position of the wireless charging coil 431 of the wireless charging unit 430 corresponds to the position of the wireless charging receiving coil 231 of the charging receiving unit 230. For example, the wireless charging coil 431 is located at the middle position of the placement portion 420, and the wireless charging receiving coil 231 is located at the middle position of the monitoring assistance device 20.

[0093] Similarly, the communication coil 441 of the short-range wireless communication unit of the carrying device 40 corresponds to the position of the communication coil 241 of the short-range wireless communication unit of the monitoring assistance device 20. For example, the communication coil 441 can be located outside the wireless charging coil 431, and the two coils share the same center or the same elliptical foci, so as to make better use of the space of the carrying device 40. Correspondingly, the communication coil 241 can be located outside the wireless charging receiving coil 231, and the two coils share the same center or the same elliptical foci, so as to make better use of the space of the monitoring assistance device 20.

[0094] It can be seen that the user only needs to connect the carrying device 40 to the monitor 30 by wire, connect each sensor 10 to the monitoring assistance device 20, and then place the monitoring assistance device 20 on the carrying device 40, and the entire monitoring system can start continuous operation, which is very convenient and fast.

[0095] For the embodiment in which the carrying device 40 has the integrated component 50 and the integrated component 50 is used independently, as Figure 12 shown, the integrated component 50 can also have a third magnetic attraction element 570. The third magnetic attraction element 570 is used to magnetically fix the integrated component 50 on the monitoring assistance device 20 and / or the carrying device 40. That is, the monitoring assistance device 20 and / or the carrying device 40 also have magnetic attraction elements. In this embodiment, the case where both have magnetic attraction elements is taken as an example for description.

[0096] In this embodiment, as Figure 11 shown, the monitoring assistance device 20 also has a first magnetic attraction element 270. The first magnetic attraction element 270 is adapted to the third magnetic attraction element 570. Here, the adaptation includes position adaptation and quantity adaptation. The quantity of the first magnetic attraction element 270 and the third magnetic attraction element 570 can be one, or multiple (two or more). Usually, setting multiple can better position and fix. The first magnetic attraction element 270 and the third magnetic attraction element 570 are used to magnetically fix the monitoring assistance device 20 and the integrated component 50. As Figure 9 shown, when the two are used together, except that the monitoring assistance device 20 cannot be fixed on the bed rail, other functions of the carrying device can be realized, and the monitoring can also be realized when the two are placed on the hospital bed. The first magnetic attraction element 270 and the third magnetic attraction element 570 can both be magnets, or one of them is a magnet and the other is an object that can be attracted by a magnet.

[0097] After the integrated component 50 and the monitoring assistance device 20 are magnetically fixed, their respective short-range wireless communication units are triggered to communicate wirelessly. For example, after the integrated component 50 and the monitoring assistance device 20 are magnetically fixed, the short-range wireless communication unit 440 of the integrated component 50 and the short-range wireless communication unit 440 of the monitoring assistance device 20 are already within the effective communication distance range. After the communication coils (441 and 241) of the two short-range wireless communication units sense each other, short-range wireless communication begins.

[0098] After the integrated component 50 and the monitoring assistance device 20 are magnetically fixed, the wireless charging unit 430 can also be triggered to wirelessly power the monitoring assistance device 20. The specific triggering method is the same as above and will not be elaborated here.

[0099] Such as Figure 11 and 12 As shown, the position of the wireless charging coil 431 of the wireless charging unit 430 corresponds to the position of the wireless charging receiving coil 231 of the charging receiving unit 230. For example, the wireless charging coil 431 is located at the middle position of the placement part 420, and the wireless charging receiving coil 231 is located at the middle position of the monitoring assistance device 20. Similarly, the communication coil 441 of the short-range wireless communication unit of the integrated component 50 corresponds to the communication coil 241 of the short-range wireless communication unit of the monitoring assistance device 20. For example, the communication coil 441 can be located outside the wireless charging coil 431, and the two coils share the same center or the same elliptical foci. Correspondingly, the communication coil 241 can be located outside the wireless charging receiving coil 231, and the two coils share the same center or the same elliptical foci.

[0100] It can be seen that the user only needs to connect the integrated component 50 to the monitor 30 by wire, connect each sensor 10 to the monitoring assistance device 20, and then magnetically attach the monitoring assistance device 20 to the integrated component 50, then the entire monitoring system can start to work continuously, which is very convenient and fast.

[0101] The carrying device 40 has a second magnetic attraction element 470, specifically, its structural body has a second magnetic attraction element 470. The second magnetic attraction element 470 is adapted to the third magnetic attraction element 570. Here, the adaptation includes position adaptation and quantity adaptation. The quantity of the second magnetic attraction element 470 and the third magnetic attraction element 570 can be one, or multiple (two or more). Usually, multiple are set, which can better position and fix. The second magnetic attraction element 470 and the third magnetic attraction element 570 are used to magnetically fix the structural body of the carrying device 40 and the integrated component 50. As Figure 8 shown, it is convenient for the assembly and separate use of the two.

[0102] As can be seen from the above content, if the consideration of fixing the monitoring assistance device to the bed rail is not taken into account, the structural body of the bearing device 40 may not be required. In other words, in some embodiments, the monitoring assistance component may include the monitoring assistance device 20 and the integrated component 50 without the structural body, as Figure 13 shown.

[0103] The structure and function of the monitoring assistance device 20 are the same as those in the above embodiments and will not be elaborated here.

[0104] The integrated component 50 has a wireless charging unit 430 and a cable L for wired connection with the monitor 30.

[0105] The wireless charging unit 430 is used to draw power from the monitor 30 through the cable L and wirelessly supply power to the monitoring assistance device 20 using the obtained electric energy. The specific structure and function are the same as those of the wireless charging unit in the above embodiments.

[0106] As Figure 11 and 12 shown, the monitoring assistance device 20 has a first magnetic attraction element 270, and the integrated component 50 has a third magnetic attraction element 570. The first magnetic attraction element 270 is adapted to the third magnetic attraction element 570 for magnetically fixing the monitoring assistance device 20 to the integrated component 50. The specific structures and functions of magnetic fixation and coils, etc. have been elaborated in detail in the above embodiments and will not be elaborated here.
