Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular relates to a health management system, a vital signs monitoring method, and a refrigeration device. Background Technology
[0002] In related technologies, traditional blood pressure monitoring methods are divided into invasive pressure and cuff pressure. Invasive pressure can cause trauma to patients, while cuff pressure requires specialized instruments and is inconvenient to measure. Neither of these two blood pressure monitoring methods can monitor the user's blood pressure in real time and conveniently, and users cannot detect changes in their health in a timely manner. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This application proposes a health management system, a vital signs monitoring method, and a cooling device to address the inconvenience of measurement, the inability to monitor users' blood pressure in real time and conveniently, and the inability of users to promptly detect changes in their health in related technologies.
[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides a health management system, including: a data acquisition module, a control module, a processing module, and an interaction module.
[0005] The acquisition module is used to acquire photoplethysmography (PPG) signals and send the PPG signals to the control module.
[0006] The control module is used to preprocess the photoplethysmography (PPG) signal to obtain a preprocessed PPG signal, and send the preprocessed PPG signal to the processing module.
[0007] The processing module is used to determine the user's vital signs data based on the preprocessed photoplethysmography (PPG) signal, and send the vital signs data to the control module.
[0008] The control module is also used to control the interaction module to output the vital signs data;
[0009] The interactive module is used to output the vital signs data.
[0010] The health management system provided in this application embodiment collects photoplethysmography (PPG) signals through a data acquisition module and sends them to a control module. The control module preprocesses the PPG signals and sends them to a processing module. The processing module determines the user's vital signs data based on the preprocessed PPG signals and sends it to the control module. The control module then controls the interaction module to output the vital signs data. By determining and outputting the user's vital signs data through the collected PPG information, the health management system enables real-time monitoring of the user's vital signs, allowing the user to promptly detect health abnormalities or changes and improving the user experience.
[0011] According to one embodiment of this application, the acquisition module includes: a photoplethysmography (PPG) module, which acquires the photoplethysmography signal of the user's finger in a transmission or reflection manner.
[0012] In the above technical solution, using a PPG module to collect the photoplethysmography (PPG) signal of a user's finger in a projective or reflective manner is a non-invasive method that can avoid interference from the external environment.

Removing the DC signal makes the baseline of the PPG signal more stable, which helps to accurately measure the amplitude and frequency of the pulse wave; reducing high-frequency noise improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the PPG signal, making it easier to analyze and interpret; and signal clipping helps to focus on analyzing key parts, further improving the efficiency and accuracy of PPG signal processing.

[0097] The health management system, vital sign monitoring method, and refrigeration equipment provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments and application scenarios.
[0098] Among them, the vital sign monitoring method of the health management system can be applied to the terminal, specifically executed by the hardware or software in the terminal.
[0099] Figure 1 This is one of the structural schematic diagrams of the health management system provided in the embodiments of this application. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the health management system 1 includes: a data acquisition module 10, a control module 20, a processing module 30, and an interaction module 40.
[0100] The acquisition module 10 can be installed on the door of the refrigeration equipment to acquire photoplethysmography (PPG) signals and send the PPG signals to the control module 20.
[0101] It should be noted that the acquisition module 10 can be a device capable of acquiring the user's photoplethysmography (PPG) signal, such as a photoplethysmography device, a photoplethysmography sensor, or a photoplethysmographic (PPG) module.
[0102] It is worth noting that photoplethysmography (PPG) refers to the pulse waveform signal acquired through a PPG meter, pulse wave sensor, or other similar devices. PPG signals reflect changes in blood volume within arteries and can be used to obtain a user's blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, and other relevant physiological parameters. Analysis of these physiological parameters can assess a user's cardiovascular function, heart health, and facilitate the diagnosis and monitoring of certain diseases.
[0103] The refrigeration equipment in this application includes refrigerators, freezers, and other refrigeration devices. The refrigeration equipment in this application can also be replaced by a cargo container, all of which are within the protection scope of this application.
[0104] It should be noted that after receiving the photoplethysmography (PPG) signal from the acquisition module 10, the control module 20 will preprocess the PPG signal to obtain a preprocessed PPG signal, which makes the PPG signal clearer and more accurate, facilitating subsequent analysis.
[0105] Optionally, preprocessing includes removing DC signals from the photoplethysmography (PPG) signal. This can be done using, for example, a high-pass filter or a baseline drift correction algorithm. This can adjust the baseline of the PPG signal to near the zero line, making subsequent analysis more accurate.
[0106] Optionally, preprocessing includes high-frequency noise reduction of the photoplethysmography (PPG) signal. This can be achieved using digital filters or signal processing algorithms, such as low-pass filters and median filters. Digital filters can preserve the main components of the PPG signal while removing high-frequency noise, resulting in a smoother and clearer PPG signal.
[0107] Optionally, preprocessing includes signal trimming of the photoplethysmography (PPG) signal. The PPG signal can be trimmed by setting an appropriate time window or threshold to remove useless parts at the beginning and end, retaining only the important PPG signal segments. This can reduce the computational load of subsequent processing and make the analysis results more accurate.
[0108] The preprocessed photoplethysmography (PPG) signal is a high-quality PPG signal with a specific duration and a specific number of sampling points.
[0109] In this embodiment, the control module 20 sends the preprocessed photoplethysmography (PPG) signal to the processing module 30. Based on the preprocessed PPG signal, the processing module 30 can determine the user's vital signs data.
[0110] Optionally, the user's vital signs data include at least one of blood pressure, blood oxygen, heart rate, blood lipids, uric acid, and respiratory rate. The processing module 30 can obtain the corresponding vital signs data by inputting the user's vital signs data into the corresponding calculation model.
[0111] The computational model here can be obtained by training an artificial intelligence model, which includes: traditional machine learning models, deep learning models, deep reinforcement learning models, Bayesian networks, etc.
[0112] Optionally, when the vital signs data include blood pressure, blood oxygen, and heart rate, the processing module 30 can determine the user's blood pressure by inputting the photoplethysmography (PPG) signal into the blood pressure inference model, determine the user's heart rate by inputting the PPG signal into the heart rate calculation model, and determine the user's blood oxygen by inputting the PPG signal into the blood oxygen detection model.
[0113] Understandably, after the processing module 30 obtains the user's vital signs data, it sends the vital signs data to the control module 20, and the control module 20 controls the interaction module 40 to output the vital signs data to the user.
[0114] It is worth noting that the interaction module 40 can be a touch screen or a client APP installed on the door of the refrigeration equipment.
[0115] Optionally, the interaction module 40 includes a touch screen installed on the door of the refrigeration equipment, or a client APP. In addition, the interaction module 40 also includes one or more of the following: a camera installed on the door of the refrigeration equipment, an infrared / ultrasonic detector installed on the door of the refrigeration equipment, and a voice module installed on the door of the refrigeration equipment.
[0116] Optionally, when the interaction module 40 is a touch screen installed on the door of the refrigeration equipment, the user can send a signal to the control module 20 to collect vital sign data through the touch screen. The control module 20 can control the touch screen to present the vital sign data on the screen in the form of a report or output it in the form of voice playback.
[0117] Optionally, when the interaction module 40 is a client APP, such as an APP on a mobile phone, the user can send a signal to the control module 20 to collect vital sign data through the APP. The control module 20 can control the APP to present the vital sign data on the screen in the form of a report or output it in the form of voice playback.
[0118] Optionally, when the interaction module 40 consists of a camera installed on the door of the refrigeration equipment and a touch screen installed on the door of the refrigeration equipment, the camera captures facial images, performs facial recognition on the facial images, and when a face is detected, sends a signal to the control module 20 to collect vital sign data. The control module 20 can control the touch screen to present the vital sign data on the screen in the form of a report or output it in the form of voice playback.
[0119] Optionally, when the interaction module 40 consists of an infrared / ultrasonic detector installed on the door of the refrigeration equipment and a touch screen installed on the door of the refrigeration equipment, when a user approaches the refrigeration equipment, the infrared or ultrasonic detector will detect the user's approach and send a signal to the control module 20 to collect vital sign data. The control module 20 can control the touch screen to present the vital sign data on the screen in the form of a report or output it in the form of voice playback.
[0120] The health management system provided in this application embodiment collects photoplethysmography (PPG) signals through a data acquisition module and sends them to a control module. The control module preprocesses the PPG signals and sends them to a processing module. The processing module determines the user's vital signs data based on the preprocessed PPG signals and sends it to the control module. The control module then controls the interaction module to output the vital signs data. By determining and outputting the user's vital signs data through the collected PPG information, the health management system enables real-time monitoring of the user's vital signs, allowing the user to promptly detect health abnormalities or changes and improving the user experience.
[0121] In one embodiment of this application, the acquisition module includes a photoplethysmography (PPG) module, which acquires the photoplethysmography signal of the user's finger in a transmission or reflection manner.
[0122] It should be noted that the photoplethysmography (PPG) module is a sensor module used to detect pulse waveforms and can acquire heartbeat signals through photoelectric measurement technology.
[0123] Optionally, the PPG module includes at least one light-emitting diode (LED) and at least one photodiode (PD) or photoresistor. The light emitted by the LED passes through the skin and is received by the photodiode or photoresistor, thereby detecting blood flow in the skin's microvessels. When the heart beats, blood flows, causing changes in blood flow in the skin's microvessels, which in turn causes changes in the amount of light absorbed. The PPG module measures this change in light absorption and converts it into a pulse waveform signal. By analyzing these signals, the user's vital signs data, such as blood pressure, blood oxygen, heart rate, blood lipids, uric acid, and respiratory rate, can be obtained.
[0124] Optionally, the LED can be an infrared light-emitting diode (IR LED) or an RGB LED, such as an LED that emits green light in the 530nm band. The LED can also be other types of LEDs, and this application does not limit them.
[0125] Optionally, the PPG module uses a transmissive method to collect light, with LEDs and PDs located on either side of the user's finger. The light emitted by the LEDs is transmitted through the user's finger into the skin and received by the photodiode or photoresistor on the opposite side. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the projection method for acquiring the photoplethysmography (PPG) signal of a user's finger, as provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the PPG module is located in a U-shaped groove. The PPG module includes a first LED 201, a second LED 202, a first PD 203, and a second PD 204. The first LED 201 and the second LED 202 are located on one side of the U-shaped groove, and the first PD 203 and the second PD 204 are located on the other side of the U-shaped groove. When a user's finger is inserted into the opening of the U-shaped groove, the light emitted by the first LED 201 and the second LED 202 is transmitted through the user's finger into the skin and received by the first PD 203 and the second PD 204.
[0126] Optionally, the PPG module uses a reflective method to collect light, with the LED and PD located on the same side of the user's finger. The light emitted by the LED directly illuminates the skin surface of the finger and is received by the photodiode or photoresistor on the same side. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a reflective method for acquiring the photoplethysmography (PPG) signal of a user's finger, as provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3As shown, the PPG module includes a third LED 301, a fourth LED 302, and a third PD 303. The third PD 303 is located at the center of the PPG module, and the third LED 301 and the fourth LED 302 are located on both sides of the third PD 303. When a user's finger touches the PPG module, the light emitted by the third LED 301 and the fourth LED 302 directly shines on the skin surface of the finger and is received by the third PD 303.
[0127] It's worth noting that when a user's heart beats, blood flow changes with the heartbeat, causing variations in blood flow to the skin surface of the fingers, thus affecting the amount of light reflected from the fingertips. Photodiodes or photoresistors measure these changes in light reflection and convert them into electrical signals, resulting in a photoplethysmography (PPG) waveform. Both transmissive and reflective methods utilize changes in skin color caused by blood flow to measure PPG signals, differing only in the light propagation path and detection method.
[0128] Optionally, when a user's finger touches the PPG module, the PPG module will automatically start collecting the photoplethysmography (PPG) signal from the user's finger and send the PPG signal to the control module. This allows for monitoring of the user's vital signs without requiring user input to trigger the PPG signal collection, thus improving the user experience.
[0129] In the above technical solution, using a PPG module to collect the photoplethysmography (PPG) signal of a user's finger in a projective or reflective manner is a non-invasive method that can avoid interference from the external environment. The projective or reflective method can accurately capture blood flow signals and can collect stable PPG signals under different environmental conditions.
[0130] In one embodiment of this application, the control module is used to:
[0131] The photoplethysmography (PPG) signal is subjected to DC signal removal, high-frequency noise reduction, and signal trimming to obtain a preprocessed PPG signal.
[0132] It is worth noting that preprocessing is usually required when processing photoplethysmography (PPG) signals, including DC signal removal, high-frequency noise reduction, and signal trimming. Preprocessed PPG signals have a specific duration or a specific number of sampling points, allowing for more accurate determination of the user's vital signs.
[0133] Optionally, the acquired photoplethysmography (PPG) signal may contain a DC component, meaning the signal baseline may be shifted. This shift may be caused by factors such as changes in sensor sensitivity or ambient light. The DC signal can be removed using, for example, a high-pass filter or a baseline drift correction algorithm, adjusting the PPG signal baseline to near zero and making subsequent analysis more accurate.
[0134] Optionally, the acquired photoplethysmography (PPG) signal may be affected by high-frequency noise, which may originate from environmental interference, power supply interference, etc. High-frequency noise can be filtered out using digital filters or signal processing algorithms. Digital filters include low-pass filters and median filters. Digital filters can retain the main components of the PPG signal while removing high-frequency noise, making the PPG signal smoother and clearer.
[0135] Optionally, the photoplethysmography (PPG) signal may contain some unimportant parts, such as the initial stable phase or the final decay phase. By setting an appropriate time window or threshold, the PPG signal can be trimmed to remove the useless parts at the beginning and end, retaining only the important PPG signal segments. This can reduce the computational load of subsequent processing and make the analysis results more accurate.
[0136] In the above technical solution, DC signal removal, high-frequency noise reduction, and signal clipping of the photoplethysmography (PPG) signal can improve the quality and stability of the PPG signal, remove potential noise and interference, and make the PPG signal clearer and more accurate. Removing the DC signal makes the baseline of the PPG signal more stable, which helps to accurately measure the amplitude and frequency of the pulse wave; reducing high-frequency noise improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the PPG signal, making it easier to analyze and interpret; and signal clipping helps to focus on analyzing key parts, further improving the efficiency and accuracy of PPG signal processing.
