Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cognitive training technology, and more specifically to a multi-sensory stimulation cognitive training box for the elderly. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing aging of the global population, age-related cognitive decline and dementia have become a serious public health challenge. Cognitive decline not only impairs the memory, executive function, and quality of life of older adults, but also places a heavy care burden on families and society. Therefore, finding effective, feasible, and non-pharmacological cognitive interventions to slow the decline and maintain brain health is of great practical significance.

[0003] Against this backdrop, multisensory stimulation, as a non-invasive intervention method, has received widespread attention in recent years. Its theoretical basis lies in the fact that by systematically providing synergistic stimulation through multiple sensory channels such as vision, hearing, smell, and touch, it is possible to effectively activate relevant brain regions (such as the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex), enhance neural plasticity and synaptic function, thereby improving cognitive state. Studies have confirmed that combining multisensory stimulation with cognitive tasks can slow cognitive decline and demonstrate positive effects on improving mood, communication skills, and overall quality of life.

[0004] Currently, the market offers numerous cognitive training products targeting a single sense, such as memory cards, olfactory sticks, and touchpads. While these tools are simple and easy to use, their functions are fragmented, lacking a systematic integration based on neuroscience theories. The training process often relies on the spontaneous arrangement of the user or caregiver, failing to achieve coordinated stimulation and linkage of multiple sensory channels. Due to the lack of inherent logical connections between the tools, the training content is distributed in a "point-like" manner. For example, an elderly person might look at color cards alone in the morning and smell odors alone in the afternoon, failing to form a meaningful cognitive connection between the two. This model is not conducive to building stable, interconnected memory traces and knowledge networks in the brain. More importantly, it cannot simulate and train the core ability for problem-solving in real life—the ability to integrate multi-sensory information. Real cognitive tasks (such as recognizing objects and recalling scenes) are inherently multimodal. Therefore, training conducted solely within a single channel is difficult to effectively transfer to complex daily life situations, limiting the practical significance and functional benefits of the training. Consequently, the current single training modality differs from the multimodal characteristics of real-world cognitive tasks, resulting in isolated and fragmented training effects that are difficult to effectively transfer to daily life, thus reducing the training effect on the elderly's cognition. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-sensory stimulation cognitive training box for the elderly, in order to solve the problem that the single training modality in the existing technology is different from the multi-modal characteristics of real-world cognitive tasks, resulting in isolated and fragmented training effects, making it difficult to effectively transfer to daily life and reducing the training effect of the elderly's cognition.

[0034] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 9 As shown:

[0036] The present invention provides a multi-sensory stimulation cognitive training box for the elderly, including a base 1, a training box body 3 installed on the top of the base 1, and the training box body 3 having a storage slot 1 5, a storage slot 2 17 and a storage slot 3 37 arranged sequentially from top to bottom.

[0037] Functional module box 7 is slidably installed inside storage slot 5. Functional module box 7 contains a visual module, which is used to train the vision of the elderly.

[0038] Functional module box 2 19 is slidably installed inside storage slot 2 17. Functional module box 2 19 is equipped with an auditory module, which is used to train the hearing of the elderly.

[0039] Functional module box 3 20 is slidably installed inside storage slot 2 17. The functional module box 3 20 is equipped with an olfactory module, which is used to train the elderly's sense of smell.

[0040] Functional module box 4 39 is slidably installed inside storage slot 3 37. The functional module box 4 39 is equipped with a tactile module, which is used to train the elderly's sense of touch.

[0041] Currently, cognitive training devices for the elderly are often limited in function and lack systematic integration. Most commercially available products are single-sensory stimulation tools, such as memory cards, stand-alone music players, or simple smelling bottles. These devices are isolated and cannot provide coordinated stimulation and comprehensive training of multiple senses (sight, hearing, smell, touch, etc.), making it difficult to achieve systematic cognitive function promotion. Furthermore, the modules of traditional physical training tools are unconnected, requiring users or instructors to memorize and arrange the training process, failing to automatically provide cross-sensory training guidance, thus reducing the efficiency of cognitive training for the elderly.

[0042] This application integrates a visual module, an auditory module, an olfactory module, and a tactile module into the training box 3.

[0043] The visual module is integrated into functional module box 7. It includes a set of color cards representing the five elements and a set of cards for identifying traditional Chinese medicine. During training, users take out the five colors (green, red, yellow, white, and black) corresponding to the five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, and water) for identification and matching. The back of each color card is printed with related information such as the corresponding organs and flavors, combining visual perception with knowledge memorization. Simultaneously, users train their visual recognition of traditional Chinese medicine by viewing identification cards featuring high-definition images and names of herbs such as Cornus officinalis and Astragalus membranaceus. This module uses strong visual stimulation of color and images to train the visual discrimination and long-term memory of the elderly.

[0044] The auditory module is located within functional module box 2, 19. The auditory module is equipped with one of the five musical notes "Jiao, Zhi, Gong, Shang, Yu," and follows the five elements color scheme (e.g., Jiao corresponds to cyan). By having the elderly identify, select, and listen to music in different modes, their auditory perception and ability to distinguish musical emotions are trained.

[0045] The olfactory module is housed within functional module box 3, 20. This module can be filled with odors representing different five elements (such as rancid, burnt, fragrant, fishy, ​​and rotten). By identifying and classifying these characteristic odors and matching them to memory, olfactory discrimination and memory are specifically trained.

[0046] The tactile module is located within functional module box 439. Users provide tactile sensation to their hands through the tactile module, which comprehensively trains the elderly's tactile sensitivity, stereopsis, and fine motor skills.

[0047] This application solves the problem of existing products having single functions and being isolated by integrating the visual module (functional module box 1, 7), auditory module (functional module box 2, 19), olfactory module (functional module box 3, 20), and tactile module (functional module box 4, 39) into a unified training box 3. Elderly people can conveniently receive comprehensive stimulation of sight, hearing, smell, and touch in a single training session, which conforms to the integrative principle of cognitive training and can more effectively promote the synergy and connection of different brain regions, improving the systematic nature and overall effect of the training. Furthermore, the visual, auditory, olfactory, and tactile modules are all independently set in separately pull-out functional module boxes 1, 2, 3, and 4, and are correspondingly embedded in different storage slots 1, 5, 17, and 37. This design allows seniors or caregivers to flexibly select, combine, and change the daily training modules according to the training plan or personal interests. The operation is intuitive and simple, and it is easy to store and carry, improving the adaptability and lifespan of the training box. Finally, the design is based on the Five Elements theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The five-color cards in the visual module correspond to the five elements and five colors, the five-tone buttons in the auditory module correspond to the five elements and five tones, and the odors in the olfactory module correspond to the five elements and five odors. This design closely integrates cognitive training with traditional culture and health concepts, not only increasing the knowledge and cultural affinity of the training, making it easier for seniors to understand and remember, but also giving the cross-sensory training an inherent connection under theoretical guidance.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, a storage slot 5 has slide rails 6 installed on both sides inside, and the two slide rails 6 are respectively connected to the two sides of the functional module box 7.

[0049] The visual module includes several fixed plates 8 disposed at the lower end of the interior of the functional module box 7. Two fixed plates 8 form a group, and a connecting shaft 9 is rotatably mounted between each group of fixed plates 8. A support plate 10 is mounted on the outer surface of the connecting shaft 9. A slot 11 and an LED light strip 12 are mounted on the front side of the support plate 10. A battery compartment 13 is provided on one side of the functional module box 7, containing a battery to provide power to the LED light strip 12 and the wireless transmission module 14. A panel 15 is mounted on the front side of the functional module box 7, and an identification plate 16 is provided on the front side of the panel 15.

[0050] The training box 3 has a connection slot 51 on one side, and a central control screen 50 is inserted into the connection slot 51. The central control screen 50 is electrically connected to the LED light strip 12 and the wireless transmission module 14. The wireless transmission module 14 is electrically connected to the LED light strip 12.

[0051] Specifically, the slide rail 6 enables the functional module box 7 to be pulled out of the storage slot 5 and pushed into the storage slot 5.

[0052] The five-element color cards or traditional Chinese medicine identification cards used during visual training are inserted into slots 11 on the front side of the support plate 10. The support plate 10 is rotatably mounted on the fixed plate 8 via the connecting shaft 9, causing the entire support plate 10 and the five-element color cards or traditional Chinese medicine identification cards to flip over, making it easier for the elderly to view different rows of five-element color cards or traditional Chinese medicine identification cards. The LED light strip 12 integrated on the support plate 10 provides local illumination for the cards in the slots 11, especially in low ambient light, which can enhance the color and detail recognition of the cards and reduce visual fatigue. In addition, the LED light strip 12 serves as an intelligent prompting unit. When it is necessary to guide the user to focus on cards with specific five-element attributes, the central control screen 50 can send control commands to make the LED light strip 12 in the corresponding card slot 11 flash, providing precise visual guidance.

[0053] Wireless transmission module 14 establishes a wireless communication connection with central control screen 50. Central control screen 50 generates instructions (such as "high-brightness wood row cyan card") according to training logic. The instructions are sent wirelessly. Wireless transmission module 14 receives the instructions and the internal control circuit drives the corresponding LED light strip 12 to perform the lighting or flashing action. Finally, the user receives the visual prompts and reacts. The LED light strip 12, which is remotely controlled by central control screen 50 and powered by battery, realizes adaptive lighting and intelligent training guidance. Communication with the control center of central control screen 50 is realized through wireless transmission module 14. Together, they complete a visual training process that combines traditional physical operation and modern intelligent prompting functions.

[0054] The signboard 16 has large-font labels (such as "visual zone" to prompt the user);

[0055] In an embodiment of the present invention, slide rails two 18 are installed on both sides inside the storage slot two 17. The two slide rails two 18 are respectively connected to one side of the function module box two 19 and the function module box three 20. One side of the function module box two 19 is connected to one side of the function module box three 20.

[0056] The auditory module includes five speakers 21 and five bases 22 arranged at the lower end inside the function module box two 19. Buttons 23 are installed on the upper ends of the five bases 22. LED light rings 24 are installed on the upper ends of the five bases 22. A battery slot two 25 and a wireless transmission module two 26 are installed on one side inside the function module box two 19. The battery slot two 25 is provided with a storage battery to provide power for the buttons 23, the LED light rings 24, the speakers 21 and the wireless transmission module two 26.

[0057] A panel two 27 is installed on the front side of the function module box two 19. An identification plate two 28 is arranged on the front side of the panel two 27. The central control screen 50 is electrically connected to the speakers 21, the buttons 23, the LED light rings 24 and the wireless transmission module two 26. The wireless transmission module two 26 is electrically connected to the wireless transmission module two 26 and the buttons 23.

[0058] Specifically, there are five independent speakers 21 in the auditory module. Each speaker 21 pre-stores or can receive and play a specific five-element music corresponding to one of the five tones of "Jue, Zhi, Gong, Shang, Yu". Each speaker 21 and an independent physical button 23 form a direct human-computer interaction unit. When the user presses a certain button 23, a trigger signal is generated. This signal is directly transmitted to the central control screen 50 through the circuit or forwarded by the wireless transmission module two 26. After receiving the trigger signal from the specific button 23, the central control screen 50 will analyze the five-element attribute corresponding to this signal (such as "wood" corresponding to the "Jue" tone).

[0059] Subsequently, the central control screen 50 sends an audio playback instruction to the corresponding target speaker 21 through the wireless transmission module two 26. After receiving the instruction, the target speaker 21 plays its corresponding five-element music, thus completing the accurate trigger and playback of "one key, one tone".

[0060] The LED light rings 24 arranged around each button 23 provide visual feedback. It works in two main modes:

[0061] Response feedback mode: When the user presses the button 23 and successfully triggers the music playback, the corresponding LED light ring 24 can be lit or change color to confirm that the operation is effective. Secondly, based on the selection of the auditory module, the corresponding five elements of other modules can be controlled to work, realizing linkage training.

[0062] Wireless transmission module 26 is responsible for bidirectional communication with the central control screen 50. On the one hand, it uploads the trigger signal of button 23, and on the other hand, it receives the instructions from the central control screen 50 to control the LED light ring 24 and speaker 21. It is a key communication hub for realizing intelligent linkage control.

[0063] The auditory module provides an intuitive and reliable way to trigger music through a one-to-one physical interaction design of "button 23 - speaker 21"; it realizes audio playback through centralized control of the central control screen 50 and communication with the wireless transmission module 26; and it realizes intelligent training guidance for operation confirmation through the LED light ring 24, together forming an auditory training unit that is both independent and interactive.

[0064] Signage 28 has large-print labels (such as "Hearing Zone") to prompt users.

[0065] In one embodiment of the present invention, the olfactory module includes a placement slot 29 disposed inside the functional module box 20. A sachet body 30 is disposed inside the placement slot 29, and an RFID tag 31 is disposed on the outer surface of the sachet body 30. An RFID reader 32 is disposed at the upper end of the placement slot 29. A battery slot 33 and a wireless transmission module 34 are disposed on one side of the functional module box 20. A rechargeable battery is disposed inside the battery slot 33 to provide power support for the RFID reader 32 and the wireless transmission module 34. A panel 35 is disposed on the front side of the functional module box 20, and an identification plate 36 is installed on the front side of the panel 35.

[0066] The central control screen 50 is electrically connected to the RFID card reader 32 and the wireless transmission module 34. The wireless transmission module 34 is electrically connected to the RFID card reader 32.

[0067] Specifically, each sachet body 30 has an RFID tag 31 on its exterior that stores coded information representing its specific five elements attribute (such as wood, fire, earth, metal, and water) and specific smell (such as rancid, burnt, fragrant, fishy, ​​and rotten).

[0068] When the user places the sachet 30 into the placement slot 29, the RFID tag 31 comes into contact with the RFID reader 32 to read the encoded information in the RFID tag 31. The sachet encoding information read by the RFID reader 32 is transmitted to the wireless transmission module 34 via an electrical connection. The wireless transmission module 34 uploads the received sachet identification information to the central control screen 50 in real time via a wireless communication protocol. The central control screen 50, as the central processing unit, automatically generates and issues control commands based on the identified five-element attribute after receiving the sachet identification information. For example, if it is identified as a "wood" element sachet, the central control screen 50 will simultaneously issue commands to the visual and auditory modules to control the LED light strip 12 of the visual training card (such as the cyan card) and the LED light ring 24 of the auditory button 23 (such as the "horn" tone button) corresponding to the "wood" element to flash, thereby guiding the user to perform associated visual and auditory training.

[0069] Through the contactless identification combination of "RFID tag 31 - RFID reader 32", the identity of the sachet 30 is automatically and accurately collected; the identity information is reported to the central control screen 50 through the wireless transmission module 34; finally, the central control screen 50 drives other sensory modules to generate linkage responses based on the information. The entire workflow constitutes the entire cognitive training system to achieve intelligent and automated multi-sensory linkage training.

[0070] Signage board 3.36 features large-print labels (such as "olfactory zone") to alert users.

[0071] In one embodiment of the present invention, slide rails 38 are installed on both sides of the inside of the storage slot 37, and the two slide rails 38 are respectively connected to the two sides of the functional module box 4 39.

[0072] The tactile module includes several support columns 40 located at the lower end of the functional module box 39. Two support columns 40 form a group. A pressure sensor 41 is mounted on the top of each group of support columns 40. A connecting plate 42 is mounted on the top of each group of pressure sensors 41. A rotating shaft 43 is rotatably mounted between the connecting plates 42. A heating rod 44 is mounted on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 43, and several protrusions 45 are provided on the outer surface of the heating rod 44. A battery compartment 46 and a wireless transmission module 47 are located on one side of the functional module box 39. The battery compartment 46 contains a built-in battery to provide power to the pressure sensors 41, heating rod 44, and wireless transmission module 47. The wireless transmission module 47 is electrically connected to the pressure sensors 41 and heating rod 44.

[0073] A panel 48 is installed on the front side of the functional module box 439, and an identification plate 449 is set on the front side of the panel 448.

[0074] The central control screen 50 is electrically connected to the pressure sensor 41, the heating rod 44, and the wireless transmission module 47.

[0075] Specifically, the core tactile stimulation component of the module is the heating rod 44. When the module is activated, the central control screen 50 sends control commands to the heating rod 44 via the wireless transmission module 47, causing it to be powered on and heat up. The heat is evenly conducted to the regularly distributed protrusions 45 on the outer surface of the heating rod 44. When the user grasps or rolls the component with their palm or fingers, the protrusions 45 transfer heat to the user's skin and acupoints, providing a soothing warm tactile stimulation, simulating the physical therapeutic effects of traditional "moxibustion" or "hot stone massage."

[0076] The heating rod 44 assembly is not rigidly fixed, but is mounted on the connecting plate 42 via the pivots 43 at both ends, and the connecting plate 42 is supported on a set of pressure sensors 41.

[0077] When the user applies pressure to the rolling heating rod 44, the force is transmitted to the pressure sensor 41 below via a mechanical structure. The pressure sensor 41 converts the applied pressure into an electrical signal in real time. The real-time pressure electrical signal collected by the pressure sensor 41 is transmitted to the wireless transmission module 47 via a circuit. The wireless transmission module 47 continuously sends the pressure data to the central control screen 50 via wireless communication. The central control screen 50 analyzes and processes the received pressure data to determine whether the pressure is within the preset safe and effective range. If the pressure is too low or too high, the screen will prompt the user to adjust the pressure.

[0078] The heating rod 44 and the raised dots 45 provide active and controllable warm tactile stimulation; the sensing and communication chain consisting of the pressure sensor 41, the wireless transmission module 47 and the central control screen 50 realizes the objective quantification and monitoring of the massage intensity; thus improving the effectiveness and safety of tactile cognitive training.

[0079] The signboard 449 has large-print labels (such as "tactile zone") to prompt the user.

[0080] In one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of suction cups 2 are installed at the bottom of the base 1, and an indicator 4 is provided at the top of the training box 3. The indicator 4 is drawn with a meridian acupoint diagram and Chinese herbal medicines, as well as a magnetic suction groove 52, which is used to mount the central control screen 50.

[0081] Specifically, several suction cups 2 installed at the bottom of the base 1 create static friction by forming a negative pressure adsorption with the surface on which it is placed (such as a table). This design effectively prevents the entire training box from sliding or tipping over when elderly users perform operations such as pressing or pulling, providing a stable and safe base platform for all interactive training.

[0082] The indicator 4, drawn on the top of the training box 3, features a fixed display of meridian acupoint diagrams and Chinese herbal medicine patterns. Its working principle is to provide a durable, readily accessible visual reference. When users perform tactile acupoint massage or visual herbal medicine identification training, they can intuitively refer to the standard diagrams on indicator 4 at any time, achieving "learning and checking immediately," thereby consolidating the learning content and strengthening the connection between traditional Chinese medicine theory and practical training.

[0083] The magnetic slot 52 located at the top of the training box 3 allows the central control screen 50 to be attracted to the metal plate or corresponding magnet at the bottom of the central control screen 50 via a magnet embedded inside. This magnetic connection method enables the central control screen 50 to be quickly installed, fixed, and removed from the box, ensuring that the central control screen 50 is in the optimal observation and operation position during training.

[0084] In one embodiment of the present invention, a plug-in slot 53 is provided on the rear side of the training box 3, a five-element identification plate 54 is inserted into the plug-in slot 53, a connecting plate 55 is installed on both sides of the five-element identification plate 54, a plug plate 56 is installed on one side of each of the two connecting plates 55, and a channel 57 is installed on both sides of the training box 3.

[0085] Specifically, when not in use or in storage, the Five Elements identification board 54 is inserted into and stored in the insertion slot 53 on the back of the training box 3. At this time, the identification board is integrated with the box, without taking up extra space, ensuring the integrity and portability of the device.

[0086] When cognitive training is required, the user pulls the Five Elements Identification Board 54 vertically upward from the insertion slot 53. Then, the insertion plates 56 installed on the connecting plates 55 on both sides of the identification board are aligned and horizontally inserted into the preset slots 57 on both sides of the training box 3. This insertion action completes the physical locking and fixation.

[0087] Once fixed in place, the Five Elements Identification Board 54 is positioned and displayed on the top or front of the training box 3. The board clearly depicts the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water) and their corresponding relationships with the Five Colors and Five Internal Organs, providing the user with a continuously visible, standardized reference system to assess the elderly person's ability to identify the Five Elements. Furthermore, during any single or multi-sensory training session (such as identifying a blue card, listening to a horn sound, or smelling a foul odor), the elderly person can intuitively refer to the board to understand the classification and attribution of the current training content within the Five Elements theory, thus systematically integrating fragmented sensory experiences into a unified framework of Traditional Chinese Medicine cognition.

[0088] Channel 57 can also serve as a handle for the cognitive training device, making it easy to move the device.

[0089] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the foregoing drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
