[0049] In the implementation mode of the present application, the vehicle 200 is combined with the health service leader. During the daily use of the driver and passengers, the electrocardiogram sign data can be monitored, and multi-dimensional health indicators can be monitored in real time, such as heart disease screening and endocrine disease risk assessment. This meets the modern driver and passengers' refined needs for health management, strengthens the preventive health management function of the vehicle 200, and reflects the importance and necessity of the automotive industry in responding to disease prevention and control and improving user experience.

[0050] In the implementation manner of the present application, the first part of the human body and the second part of the human body are not limited to meet different needs. For example, the first part of the human body can be the heart rib position of the driver and passenger, and the second part of the human body can be the arm, leg, hand, etc. of the same driver and passenger.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first monitoring module 11 includes a plurality of first electrode sheets, and the plurality of first electrode sheets are used to obtain a first parameter of a first part of a human body and to collect a plurality of electrocardiogram sign data.

[0052] Specifically, in one example, the plurality of first electrode sheets are all disposed at the heart rib position of the driver or passenger. That is, the first position monitored by the first monitoring module 11 is the heart rib position of the driver or passenger to collect a plurality of electrocardiogram (ECG) sign data.

[0053] In this way, the first monitoring module 11 is directly arranged at the heart rib position of the driver and passenger, which can effectively improve the monitoring accuracy and ensure that the early warning of the disease is achieved in the first place.

[0054] Exemplarily, the controller 6 may be a circuit board disposed inside the seat 2, and the controller 6 may be connected to the control module 201 of the vehicle 200 and transmit data. The control module 201 of the vehicle 200 may be used as the core computing element, or the controller 6 inside the seat 2 may be used as the core computing element, and the specific details are not limited here. The first monitoring module 11 and the second monitoring module 12 may respectively include a plurality of electrodes 13, a control unit 14, a communication unit 15, a safety unit 16, and a sampling unit 17. In one embodiment, the first monitoring module 11 may include six electrodes 13, which are respectively disposed at different positions of the heart ribs; the second monitoring module 12 may include four electrodes 13, which are respectively disposed at different positions of the seat 2. That is to say, at this time, the first position is the different positions of the heart ribs, and the second position is the various positions where the seat 2 contacts the human body.

[0055] In some embodiments, the monitoring system 100 includes: a seat belt 3 and a first communication module 4 arranged on the seat belt 3, the first monitoring module 11 includes a second communication module 41, the first communication module 4 uses a wireless communication protocol to establish a communication connection with the first monitoring module 11, and the first communication module 4 is used to transmit the monitoring data of the first monitoring module 11 back to the control module 201 of the vehicle 200.

[0056] In this way, the first communication module 4 cooperates with the first communication module 4 to realize short-distance wireless communication, so that the electrocardiogram sign data monitored by the first monitoring module 11 can be transmitted back to the control module 201 in the first time.

[0057] In some embodiments, the monitoring system 100 further includes: a first electrical connection structure 5 , which is disposed in the seat belt 3 and electrically connects the first monitoring module 11 and the control module 201 of the vehicle 200 .

[0058] In this way, the first electrical connection structure 5 provided on the safety belt 3 can realize wired connection between the first monitoring module 11 and the control module 201 of the vehicle 200, ensuring that the monitored electrocardiogram vital sign data is accurately transmitted. The first communication module 4 cooperates with the first communication module 4 through wireless communication, which is convenient for users to use and avoids cumbersome operation for drivers and passengers.

[0059] In some embodiments, the wireless communication protocol includes but is not limited to Bluetooth protocol, Zigbee protocol, Wi-Fi protocol, and NFC protocol.

[0060] In some embodiments, the second monitoring module 12 includes at least two second electrode sheets, and the at least two second electrode sheets are used to obtain the second parameter of the second part of the human body. In this way, the two second electrode sheets can cooperate with the first monitoring module 11 to achieve monitoring, reduce the number of electrode sheets and thus reduce costs.

[0061] In some embodiments, the second monitoring module 12 includes at least three second electrode sheets, and the at least three second electrode sheets are used to obtain the second parameter of the second part of the human body. In this way, the three second electrode sheets can cooperate with the first monitoring module 11 to achieve monitoring and ensure the accuracy of monitoring.

[0062] In some embodiments, the second monitoring module 12 includes at least two second electrode sheets, which are arranged at different positions of the seat 2 and cooperate with the first electrode sheet to form a multi-lead ECG monitoring circuit to collect multiple ECG vital sign data.

[0063] In some embodiments, a first lead 71 is formed between the two second electrode sheets, a second lead 72 is formed between one of the two electrode sheets and the first electrode sheet, and a third lead 73 is formed between the other of the two electrode sheets and the first electrode sheet.

[0064] In such an embodiment, the second monitoring module 12 itself can form multi-lead electrocardiogram monitoring to achieve multi-dimensional health indicators, making up for the shortcomings of single lead in complex health scenarios.

[0065] In some embodiments, the second monitoring module 12 includes at least three second electrode sheets, which are arranged at different positions of the seat and cooperate with the first electrode sheet to form a multi-lead ECG monitoring circuit to collect multiple ECG vital sign data.

[0066] In some embodiments, the three second electrode sheets are combined in pairs to form a first lead 71, a second lead 72 and a third lead 73, and the three second electrode sheets are combined with the first electrode sheet to form a fourth lead 74, a fifth lead 75 and a sixth lead 76.

[0067] In such an embodiment, the second monitoring module 12 cooperates with the first monitoring module 11 to form multi-lead electrocardiogram monitoring, which can achieve multi-dimensional health indicators and make up for the shortcomings of single lead in complex health scenarios.

[0068] In some embodiments, the second electrode sheet includes a leg rest electrode 121 , an armrest electrode 122 and a steering wheel electrode 123 . The armrest electrode 122 and the leg rest electrode 121 are both arranged on the seat 2 , and the steering wheel electrode 123 is arranged on the steering wheel of the vehicle 200 .

[0069] In this way, the second monitoring module 12 is a plurality of electrodes integrated on the seat 2, which can realize the monitoring of different positions of the driver and passengers, and further realize multi-lead ECG monitoring.

[0070] In some embodiments, the armrest electrode 122 includes a first armrest electrode 1221 and a second armrest electrode 1222, and the first armrest electrode 1221 and the second armrest electrode 1222 are respectively disposed in the left armrest and the right armrest of the seat 2;

[0071] The leg support electrode 121 includes a first leg support electrode 1211 and a second leg support electrode 1212, and the first leg support electrode 1211 and the second leg support electrode 1212 are both arranged on the seat cushion of the chair 2;

[0072] The steering wheel electrode 123 includes a first steering wheel electrode 1231 and a second steering wheel electrode 1232 . The first steering wheel electrode 1231 and the second steering wheel electrode 1232 are both disposed on the steering wheel.

[0073] In this way, the first leg rest electrode 1211 and the second leg rest electrode 1212, the first armrest electrode 1221 and the second armrest electrode 1222, and the first steering wheel electrode 1231 and the second steering wheel electrode 1232 can form different monitoring circuits to achieve multi-lead ECG monitoring.

[0074] In some embodiments, the second electrode sheet includes at least two of the first leg rest electrode 1211, the second leg rest electrode 1212, the first armrest electrode 1221 and the second armrest electrode 1222, or at least two of the first leg rest electrode 1211, the second leg rest electrode 1212, the first steering wheel electrode 1231 and the second steering wheel electrode 1232.

[0075] It is understandable that the first leg rest electrode 1211 and the second leg rest electrode 1212 can cooperate with the first armrest electrode 1221 and the second armrest electrode 1222 to achieve monitoring; the first leg rest electrode 1211 and the second leg rest electrode 1212 can also cooperate with the first steering wheel electrode 1231 and the second steering wheel electrode 1232 to achieve monitoring. In other words, the armrest electrode 122 and the steering wheel electrode 123 can be used in two different scenarios.

[0076] In one embodiment, the user to be monitored is the driver. At this time, the driver's left and right hands respectively hold the steering wheel, so at least two of the first leg rest electrode 1211, the second leg rest electrode 1212, the first steering wheel electrode 1231 and the second steering wheel electrode 1232 can be used for monitoring.

[0077] In another embodiment, the user to be monitored is a passenger. In this case, the passenger's left and right hands are respectively placed on the armrests of the seat 2, so at least two of the first leg rest electrode 1211, the second leg rest electrode 1212, the first armrest electrode 1221 and the second armrest electrode 1222 can be used for monitoring.

[0078] In some embodiments, a lead is formed between at least two second electrode sheets;

[0079] The at least two second electrode sheets include a second-first electrode sheet and a second-second electrode sheet, and the second parameter includes a potential difference between the second-first electrode sheet and the second-second electrode sheet.

[0080] In such an embodiment, the second first electrode sheet and the second second electrode sheet may be at least two of the first leg rest electrode 1211, the second leg rest electrode 1212, the first armrest electrode 1221, and the second armrest electrode 1222. Alternatively, the second first electrode sheet and the second second electrode sheet may be at least two of the first leg rest electrode 1211, the second leg rest electrode 1212, the first steering wheel electrode 1231, and the second steering wheel electrode 1232.

[0081] In some embodiments, the second electrode sheet includes at least three of the first leg rest electrode 1211, the second leg rest electrode 1212, the first armrest electrode 1221 and the second armrest electrode 1222, or at least three of the first leg rest electrode 1211, the second leg rest electrode 1212, the first steering wheel electrode 1231 and the second steering wheel electrode 1232.

[0082] In one embodiment, the user to be monitored is the driver. At this time, the driver's left and right hands respectively hold the steering wheel, so at least three of the first leg rest electrode 1211, the second leg rest electrode 1212, the first steering wheel electrode 1231 and the second steering wheel electrode 1232 can be used for monitoring.

[0083] In another embodiment, the user to be monitored is a passenger. In this case, the passenger's left and right hands are respectively placed on the armrests of the seat 2, so at least three of the first leg rest electrode 1211, the second leg rest electrode 1212, the first armrest electrode 1221 and the second armrest electrode 1222 can be used for monitoring.

[0084] In some embodiments, at least three second electrode pads form three limb leads and three pressurized leads, and the three pressurized leads are used to determine the Wilson center position WCT;

[0085] The second parameter includes the potential of at least three second electrode sheets.

[0086] In some embodiments, the plurality of first parameters and the potential differences form multiple leads.

[0087] In some embodiments, the plurality of first parameters and the potential of the Wilson center site form multiple leads.

[0088] In this way, monitoring can be performed through at least three second electrode sheets, and three pressurized leads are used to determine the Wilson center position. The Wilson center position can be monitored in conjunction with the first electrode sheet to form multiple leads to improve monitoring accuracy.

[0089] In some embodiments, the vehicle 200 includes: a control module 201 , which is electrically connected to the controller 6 of the monitoring module 1 and is capable of controlling the operation of the monitoring module 1 .

[0090] In some embodiments, the vehicle 200 further includes: a battery module 203 , and the control module 201 further controls the battery module 203 to supply power to the monitoring module 1 .

[0091] In this way, the control module 201 can be connected to the battery module 203 and supply power to the monitoring module 1 to ensure that the basic monitoring module 1 performs corresponding monitoring.

[0092] Specifically, the monitoring module 1 includes a first monitoring module 11 and a second monitoring module 12, and the second monitoring module 12 may include multiple electrodes, so that a multi-lead circuit can be formed between the first monitoring module 11 and the second monitoring module 12, and a multi-lead circuit can also be formed between different electrodes of the second monitoring module 12. The multi-lead ECG technology can monitor multi-dimensional health indicators in real time, such as heart disease screening and endocrine disease risk assessment, making up for the shortcomings of single leads in complex health scenarios. The integration of multi-lead technology is the core of intelligent upgrading, which meets the refined needs of drivers and passengers for health management, strengthens the preventive health management function of the vehicle 200, and reflects the importance and necessity of the vehicle 200 in responding to disease prevention and control and improving user experience.

[0093] It is understandable that multi-lead ECG monitoring is a medical diagnostic technology that records the electrical activity of different parts of the heart at the same time by placing multiple electrodes on the human chest and limbs. It helps to analyze the electrical activity pattern of the heart, including complex conditions such as arrhythmias and myocardial ischemia. A single lead only records the electrical signal of a single heart lead, which cannot fully reflect the three-dimensional movement of the heart, and may cause some ECG features such as ST segment and QT interval changes to be difficult to detect, especially for the simultaneous presence of multiple abnormal cardiac activity detection is not sensitive. For complex arrhythmias or myocardial problems, a single lead may not provide sufficient diagnostic basis. At the same time, external physical factors such as muscle movement and changes in skin resistance may affect the accuracy of single-lead readings, especially when the vehicle 200 is shaking or the vehicle 200 is moving.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present application, the first monitoring module 11 is directly attached to the heart rib position of the driver and the second monitoring module 12 can be integrated into the monitoring system 100. Avoid placing the electrode sheet on the driver's hat and vest to avoid affecting the head rotation or body freedom. Frequent wearing and taking off may cause inconvenience to the user; and due to differences among users, there is a lack of adaptive adjustment design; in addition, in emergency situations, under rapid or violent movements, the device may slip or not adapt to body movements, increasing instability and safety risks. And in long-term use in environments such as cars, the relevant sensor devices may need to face the possibility of more frequent calibration or replacement.

[0095] The monitoring module 1 of the embodiment of the present application can monitor the driver's electrocardiogram function and body composition in real time, and warn of the occurrence of heart disease and endocrine disease in advance. The vehicle 200 of the present invention includes the following modes:

[0096] Quick monitoring mode: Use the second monitoring module 12 embedded in the monitoring system 100, which is distributed in the steering wheel (not shown in the figure), the monitoring system 100 and the seat belt 3. Two electrodes are embedded in the steering wheel, which serve as a single lead in electrocardiogram sensing and an upper body composition monitoring and acquisition module in human body composition monitoring; two capacitive electrodes are embedded in the seat cushion, which serve as another lead in electrocardiogram sensing and a lower body composition acquisition module in human body composition monitoring.

[0097] Stable monitoring mode: With the help of the small electrode of the first monitoring module 11 in contact with the skin, it is worn at the heart rib of the driver as a precise monitoring module. The small electrode transmits the signal to the first communication module 4 embedded in the seat belt 3 in a short-distance communication mode, and the first communication module 4 then transmits the precise ECG signal to the in-vehicle control module 201 through the first electrical connection structure 5 in a wired mode.

[0098] In the monitoring module 1 of the implementation mode of the present application, for the front driver's seat monitoring system 100, the sensor module is not only distributed on the steering wheel, but also integrated in the monitoring system 100 and the seat belt 3, forming an all-round monitoring network that can monitor the driver's vital signs changes in real time; for the rear boss seat, the rear detection module is more concealed, embedded in the armrest and leg rest, which can not only detect multi-lead ECG signals, but also monitor human body composition, providing the same high standard of health monitoring for the rear passengers.

[0099] In addition, users can easily switch between fast mode and stable mode through the mobile phone APP or the vehicle interface. The system will automatically adjust the gating state of the sensor module according to the selected mode and display the test data and analysis results in the corresponding interface. The small electrodes in the stable monitoring transmit the signal to the communication module embedded in the seat belt 3 in a short communication mode, and the communication module then transmits the precise ECG signal to the control module 201 in a wired mode. Data processing: The precise ECG signal received by the control module 201 will be processed by advanced algorithms to identify potential health risks and issue warnings when necessary.

[0100] In addition, the design of the electrodes in the passenger compartment 202 not only takes into account the needs of health monitoring, but also has conductive properties, which can effectively reduce the generation of static electricity and improve the comfort of users, especially in dry winter environments.

[0101] The vehicle 200 of the embodiment of the present application realizes an integrated sensing design: the monitoring module 1 is integrated into the seat 2, steering wheel, seat belt 3, armrest and leg rest of the car, without the need to wear or carry additional equipment, which is different from the common wearable devices or handheld devices in the prior art, and improves the comfort and convenience of the user. The vehicle 200 of the embodiment of the present application has a senseless monitoring experience: due to the concealed and integrated design of the sensing module, the user will hardly feel the presence of the monitoring device during use, and this senseless monitoring greatly improves the user's acceptance and use experience. The vehicle 200 of the embodiment of the present application can also perform data security and privacy protection: all transmitted and processed data in the present invention are encrypted to ensure the security of user privacy, which may not be sufficiently valued or realized in the prior art. And the electrodes in the passenger compartment 202 of the vehicle 200 of the embodiment of the present application realize multiple functions: in addition to the health monitoring of electrocardiogram and human body composition, the electrodes in the cabin also have the function of removing static electricity, which improves the practicality of the system, while the monitoring equipment in the prior art usually only focuses on a single health monitoring function. In addition, the vehicle 200 of the embodiment of the present application has a concealed and integrated design: the design of the monitoring module 1 takes into account not interfering with the aesthetics of the vehicle 200 and the user's driving experience. At the same time, the integrated design reduces the exposure of the equipment and improves the overall aesthetics and user experience.

[0102] For example, this highly integrated sensor design can be arranged not only in the main driving position, but also in the back seat. To avoid redundancy, the content description is mainly based on the back seat. The key to the in-cabin monitoring system is the highly integrated monitoring system 100, which consists of at least four parts, namely, the armrest electrode 122 of the monitoring system 100, the first communication module 4 of the seat belt 3, the separated ECG module, and the controller 6.

[0103] In one embodiment, the quick monitoring mode is suitable for real-time heart rate monitoring during daily activities: when the driver is resting, riding in a car, or taking a short break in daily life, the quick monitoring usually provides instant feedback, and the user can see their heart rate status almost immediately. This mode is usually responsive and suitable for quickly assessing the immediate reaction after exercise, stress level or fatigue level to ensure safety and comfort.

[0104] In another embodiment, the stable monitoring mode is long-term or medical-level monitoring: stable monitoring is more detailed, it usually runs for a longer period of time, and performs in-depth analysis of the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. It can not only capture rapid changes in heart rate, but also capture complex details of the heart rhythm, such as PRQST wave groups, which is very useful for detecting arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, or monitoring heart health. This mode is more important in fitness tracking, medical diagnosis, or remote patient monitoring because it can provide a more comprehensive heart health assessment report.

[0105] In addition, the human body components described in this application are based on the reuse of the first leg rest electrode 1211 and the second leg rest electrode 1212 and the first armrest electrode 1221 and the second armrest electrode 1222 in the above-mentioned ECG rapid detection. By adopting the bioelectrical impedance analysis method BIA, a weak alternating current <1μA of known frequency and amplitude is applied to the human body surface, and the impedance of the loop current is measured to distinguish different components in the body, namely body fat, body protein, total body water, muscle, lean body mass and other data. These data have important reference value for weight control, disease diagnosis, muscle training, ECG auxiliary analysis and other aspects.

[0106] The first armrest electrode 1221 and the second armrest electrode 1222 are respectively embedded in the leather of the left and right armrests of the monitoring system 100. They are designed ergonomically to capture the body surface electrical signals of the passenger's hands without any sense of contact; the first leg rest electrode 1211 and the second leg rest electrode 1212 are respectively embedded in the left and right sides of the leg rest and can extend toward the seat cushion. The electrodes are designed ergonomically to capture the body surface electrical signals of the passenger's legs. The signals are used as the processing sensor source for the ECG signal processing and human body composition analysis of the fast mode monitoring and stable mode monitoring.

[0107] In the implementation mode of the present application, there is no limitation on the embedded electrodes, and the embedded electrodes include but are not limited to conductive metal electrodes such as silver, gold, stainless steel, silver chloride, and silver alloy to meet different needs. For example, conductive polymer electrodes made of materials such as polyvinylidene fluoride or carbon nanotubes; flexible electrodes such as silicon-based, organic sensors, or leather with conductive materials added; and thermocouple electrodes containing thermoelectric materials such as bismuth telluride. In the design of the armrest electrode 122 and the leg support electrode 121, signal transmission is extremely critical. The surface electrical signal needs to be transmitted through carefully designed shielded wires to ensure that the signal quality is not interfered with and these shielded wires must follow the strict 3W principle, that is, the "Three Wire System", which means that the signal line and the ground line formation distance must be as far as possible to reduce electromagnetic interference and noise, and ensure the purity and accurate conduction of the signal.

[0108] For ECG function, the electrocardiogram (ECG) is to record the small changes in the cell membrane potential when the heart beats, that is, the action potential. In a quiet state, the distribution of ions inside and outside the myocardial cells forms a resting potential. During the cardiac cycle, the depolarization and repolarization of the cell membrane cause the potential to produce a measurable electrical signal QRS complex at different locations. The ECG fast mode requires the body lead to obtain the ECG lead I signal, ECG lead II signal and ECG lead III signal in the ECG body lead through the first leg support electrode 1211 and the second leg support electrode 1212 and the first armrest electrode 1221 and the second armrest electrode 1222, and then calculate the ECG pressurized lead I, pressurized ECG lead II and pressurized ECG lead III, that is, the 6-lead data about the ECG based on the control module 201. And according to the body lead, the Wilson center position WCT is realized to provide the reference value of the chest lead in the first monitoring module 11. The electrodes on the right side of the leg support and monitoring system 100 serve as right leg driving electrodes to implement a negative feedback control loop. The system detects the common-mode signals of a group of electrodes to increase the load common-mode signals on the skin and reduce common-mode losses.

[0109] Exemplarily, the first armrest electrode 1221 can be a left armrest electrode, the second armrest electrode 1222 can be a right armrest electrode, the first leg support electrode 1211 can be a left leg electrode, and the second leg support electrode 1212 can be a right leg electrode. The second leg support electrode 1212 can be used to resist common mode interference; a first lead 71 is formed between the second armrest electrode 1222 and the first armrest electrode 1221, a second lead 72 is formed between the second armrest electrode 1222 and the first leg support electrode 1211, and a third lead 73 is formed between the first leg support electrode 1211 and the first armrest electrode 1221. At the same time, three pressurized leads can be calculated through the three leads, namely the fourth lead 74 (aVL), the fifth lead 75 (aVR) and the sixth lead 76 (aVF).

[0110] In the implementation manner of the present application, the number and the location of the electrodes 13 of the first monitoring module 11 are not limited to meet different requirements.

[0111] Please combine Figure 4 In one embodiment, the first monitoring module 11 may include six electrodes 13, which are respectively set at different positions of the heart ribs, and these electrodes 13 are marked as V1, V2, V3, V4, V5 and V6. Specifically, V1 is placed in the fourth intercostal space, for example, between rib 4 and rib 5, just on the right side of the sternum. V2 is placed in the fourth intercostal space, for example, between rib 4 and rib 5, just on the left side of the sternum. V3 is placed halfway between electrode V2 and electrode V4, in the fifth intercostal space. V4 is placed on the left midclavicular line, in the fifth intercostal space between rib 5 and rib 6. V5 is placed on the left anterior axillary line exactly horizontally with V4. V6 is placed on the left midaxillary line exactly horizontally with V4 and V5.

[0112] Further, three limb lead waveforms are calculated and output. The first limb lead 71, the second lead 72 and the third lead 73 are bipolar leads with a positive pole and a negative pole. The first lead 71 is the voltage between the left arm (LA) and the right arm (RA), for example, U 1 =LA-RA. The second lead 72 is the voltage between the left leg (LL) and the right arm (RA), for example, U 2 =LL-RA. The third lead 73 is the voltage between the left leg (LL) and the left arm (LA), for example, U 3 =LL-LA. The first lead 71, the second lead 72 and the third lead 73 are generally referred to as "limb leads".

[0113] Lead 4 74 (aVL), Lead 5 75 (aVR), and Lead 6 76 (aVF)

[0114] Still further, the boost leads (aVR, aVL, and aVF) can view the heart from different angles (or vectors) and are determined based on RA, RL, LL, and LA. For example, the fifth lead 75 is the boost right vector (aVR) that positions the positive electrode on the right arm, while the negative electrode is a combination of the left arm electrode and the left leg electrode, which "increases" the signal strength of the positive electrode on the right arm. Therefore, the fifth lead 75 is equal to RA-(LA+LL) / 2. The fourth lead 74 is the boost left vector (aVL) equal to LA-(RA+LL) / 2. The sixth lead 76 is the boost foot vector (aVF) equal to LL-(RA+LA) / 2.

[0115] The six electrodes on the patient's chest are close enough to the heart that they do not need to be compressed. A compound pole called the Wilson Center Terminal is used as the negative terminal. The Wilson Center Terminal is made by connecting electrodes RA, LA, and LL together via a simple resistor network to give an average potential across the body that is approximately the potential at infinity (i.e., 0). The Wilson Center Terminal is calculated as (RA+LA+LL) / 3.

[0116] The above is the electrode sampling method of ECG in fast mode. In order to accurately evaluate heart function, the ECG system is designed with a stable sampling mode, which captures and analyzes these tiny voltage fluctuations, including P waves, QRS complexes and T waves, to analyze heart rate, rhythm and myocardial conduction, thereby providing a detailed analysis of cardiac activity.

[0117] In the stable mode, stable monitoring of the ECG requires an additional separate module to be worn, wherein the safety belt 3 and the first communication module 4 serve as a communication medium, in order to reduce the volume and weight of the first monitoring module 11 and realize a wireless-wired mode.

[0118] The first monitoring module 11 interacts with the main board based on the wireless communication function in the first communication module 4 of the safety belt 3, and its main purpose is to collect the most direct skin-friendly ECG signal and use the signal to obtain a stable chest lead ECG signal. The separate ECG module needs to include but is not limited to leads, signal amplifiers, analog-to-digital converters, digital-to-analog converters, power management modules, wireless communication modules, filter modules, FIFO modules, etc., and the electrodes include but are not limited to metal electrodes, conductive polymer electrodes, flexible electrodes, and thermocouple electrodes, etc.

[0119] In addition, in order to shorten the line distance as much as possible and increase the stability of signal transmission and environmental anti-interference ability, the first communication module 4 includes but is not limited to a wireless transmission module, a wireless receiving module, an encryption module, an antenna, a power management system, and a wired interface. The seat belt 3 module transmits the user information collected by the separation module to the controller 6 through the encryption module using a short-distance communication protocol. The controller 6 can transmit the information back to the control module 201 of the vehicle 200. The wireless transmission module is responsible for converting the data signal from the control module 201 into radio waves, and then transmitting it to the receiving end through the antenna. These data include but are not limited to the sampling mode and sampling frequency of the separation module, the timing of the gate switch, and the emergency signal. The function of the wireless receiving module is to receive radio waves emitted by other devices including the separation module, and convert the radio signal with valid data back to a wired electrical signal for processing by the control module 201. The antenna radiates and receives radio waves, and is the interface between the wireless transmission and receiving modules and the external wireless environment. The power management system is responsible for providing stable power to the communication module and managing the distribution and use of power to ensure stable operation of the module and extend battery life, and needs to convert the 12V power supply of the vehicle 200 into the 3.3V or 1.8V voltage required by the module. The short-distance communication protocols include but are not limited to Bluetooth, Zigbee, Wi-Fi, NFC, etc. to ensure the security and reliability of data transmission.

[0120] As the core module of in-cabin vital signs monitoring, controller 6 needs to meet intelligent processing and control. The main control board needs a voltage stabilizing module, a voltage dividing module, a CAN communication module, a safety circuit module, a filtering module, a high-precision ADC module, a storage module, an electrostatic switch module, a signal generation module, a strobe switch module, a signal amplifier module, etc., which form a complete vital signs monitoring system with the above-mentioned electrodes. Among them, the voltage stabilizing module refers to a module that stabilizes the unstable voltage of the vehicle 200 to a constant voltage required for work and provides a reliable working environment for the electrodes and electronic components. The voltage dividing module refers to a power supply module that divides the vehicle-mounted 12V or 24V to the power supply voltage source or drive required by the control module 201 or other components. The CAN communication module refers to a communication module used to communicate with other systems inside the vehicle 200, send signal data to the electronic control unit of the vehicle 200, and facilitate data recording and health analysis. The safety circuit module refers to a circuit that ensures circuit safety and prevents electric shock or data damage during use and when not in use, especially when the user touches the metal surface, providing an electric shock protection circuit for the user. The storage module refers to a module that stores temporary and long-term ECG data for local analysis when there is no real-time connection to external devices or to restore data after an unexpected power outage. The electrostatic switch module refers to a module that enables the user to enable the anti-static function, and the electrodes will actively conduct the user's body surface electrons away from the human body, while protecting the stability of electronic equipment, especially in the conductive environment inside the car. The signal generation module refers to the energy source when using sinusoidal signals of different frequencies to detect human body signs in body fat measurement. The high-precision ADC module refers to analog-to-digital conversion, which converts analog signals into accurate digital signals for subsequent signal analysis and processing; the selection switch module refers to the module that controls the transmission of signals, that is, it can select reception or processing according to the switching timing, and different monitoring modes and monitoring functions.

[0121] For the fast monitoring mode of the ECG monitoring function, when the control module 201 receives the fast mode enable signal of the CAN on the vehicle side, the three electrodes of the body lead, namely the first armrest electrode 1221, the second armrest electrode 1222 and the first leg support electrode 1211, are turned on, and the driving circuit of the right leg driving electrode, namely the second leg support electrode 1212, is turned on in due time to resist common mode interference. At this time, the first armrest electrode 1221 and the second armrest electrode 1222 of the left and right armrests are used to collect the user's hand surface electrical signals, and the first leg support electrode 1211 on the leg support collects the user's calf electrical signals. The ECG circuit information formed by the first armrest electrode 1221, the second armrest electrode 1222 and the first leg support electrode 1211 on the heart is obtained by controlling the switch. And this information is amplified and filtered, and then enters the control module 201 to calculate the WCT and the waveforms of each electrode.

[0122] For the stable monitoring mode of the ECG monitoring function, when the control module 201 receives the stable mode enable signal of the CAN of the vehicle, it is necessary to remind the user to wear the first monitoring module 11 and wait for a period of time for stable collection. For the sampling method in the body electrode and the rapid monitoring method, in addition, the effective information of the first monitoring module 11 is transmitted to the communication module of the seat belt 3 via short-distance wireless mode, and then converted into wired transmission to the control module 201, so as to do delay alignment of multiple signals and temporary data storage, and finally transmit all the stable monitoring data to the vehicle via CAN communication mode for cloud big data judgment and trend analysis.

[0123] For the human body composition monitoring mode, a signal generation module is used to generate a low-frequency 5-250kHz alternating current so that a current of no more than 1μA flows through the human body, causing each tissue inside the human body to be slightly charged. Since the impedance difference of different tissues such as muscle, fat and water when the current passes through the human body will be reflected in the four electrodes embedded in the monitoring system 100, the analog signal collected by the electrode is converted into a digital signal by using a high-precision ADC module on the mainboard and input into the control module 201 to record the voltage difference and current difference flowing through two of the electrodes, thereby calculating the resistance of each tissue according to Ohm's law, and finally all the stable monitoring data are communicated in a CAN communication mode through a specific mathematical model such as Deeley-BIA model or Bod pod model, combined with the resistance value and known physiological parameters such as gender, age, height and weight, to calculate the percentage of body fat, muscle and water, and then displayed to the user through the user interface, such as health indicators such as body fat percentage and basal metabolic rate.

[0124] For the anti-static mode, the anti-static design cleverly uses the electrodes built into the monitoring system 100 as a convenient channel for the release of static electricity from the human body. When the system is activated and the electrodes are in contact with the human body, through the intelligent management of the microcontroller of the control module 201, the static electricity generated by friction is no longer retained, but is seamlessly connected to the vehicle body through the electrodes and connected to the ground cable to form an efficient conductive path. This design constructs a natural current conduction network, allowing static electricity to be quickly neutralized through the metal body, cables and the earth, that is, static electricity can be quickly and without interference. Release, effectively preventing accumulation to a level that may interfere with electronic equipment, and improving the comfort and safety of the driving environment.
