Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method and system for monitoring the health of one or more users of a vehicle. More specifically, it relates to a method and system for monitoring one or more users of a two-wheeled vehicle.

Background Art

[0002] It is a well-known fact that a health monitoring system for riders in two-wheeled vehicles has not been widely spread. In the current situation where about 1.3 million people die in traffic accidents every year, this is indispensable. Furthermore, 20 million to 50 million people are injured or disabled. Therefore, road safety is of utmost importance for two-wheeled vehicle riders.

[0003] One of the main causes of accidents and collisions on the road is due to driver fatigue. Fatigue is usually defined as a gradual and cumulative process related to "a decrease in efficiency and a decrease in the desire for any kind of effort". As the working hours and the riding time of the two-wheeled vehicle increase, fatigue increases. According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) in the UK, about 20% of all accidents are thought to be caused by fatigue. Traffic accidents involving two-wheeled vehicles account for 33.9% of all accidents and 29.8% of all fatalities, occupying the highest proportion. Therefore, in order to improve the rider's experience in terms of comfort and safety, the development of a rider assistance system is of utmost importance.

[0004] To overcome the above problems, rider health monitoring systems for vehicles have been developed. These systems are applied to monitor the state and physical condition of the vehicle driver. However, these systems usually do not warn the rider before the rider starts. This is important in certain scenarios. Also, these systems do not monitor the rider's heart rate, which is also very important in certain scenarios. Furthermore, since these systems only monitor the health of the rider, the health monitoring of passengers and rear-seat riders is not considered, which is not desirable.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] In view of the above, there is a need for a system and method for monitoring the health of one or more users of a two-wheeled vehicle that addresses one or more of the above limitations.

Next, the control unit calculates health parameters corresponding to each of the one or more users based on the heart rate detection signal. The calculated health parameters are then compared by the control unit with reference health parameters.

[0022] The present invention relates to a system and method for monitoring the health of one or more users of a vehicle. In particular, the present invention relates to a method and system for monitoring the health of one or more users of a two-wheeled vehicle.

[0023] FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a vehicle 102 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As an example, the vehicle 102 is a scooter-type vehicle or a motorcycle.

In one embodiment, the instrument cluster 100 is provided with a switch (not shown in the figure) capable of receiving data related to the user, such as the user's age, the user's weight, the user's height, etc.

[0025] Furthermore, the rear wheel 128 is provided with a shock absorber assembly (not shown) for damping vibrations generated when the vehicle 102 travels over road surface undulations. In one embodiment, one end of the power train component 122 is attached to a frame member and the other end is attached to the shock absorber assembly. Accordingly, the power train component 122 is suspended at the other end via the shock absorber assembly. A taillight unit 134 is disposed at the rear of the vehicle 102, behind the seat 120. A grab rail 136 is also provided so that one or more users on the vehicle 102 can easily grip it and maintain balance during movement. In one embodiment, the one or more users (not shown) relate to the rider of the vehicle 102 and / or the rider of the rear seat of the vehicle 102. For the sake of brevity, herein, the one or more users are collectively referred to as the user. The rear wheel 128 is disposed under the seat 120 and is adapted to receive power from the power train component 122. A transmission assembly is provided for transmitting power from the prime mover to the rear wheel 128 to drive the vehicle 102. In one embodiment, the transmission assembly can include an endless transmission drive such as a chain drive or a belt drive for transmitting power to the rear wheel 128. A rear fender 138 is disposed above the rear wheel 128.

[0026] Referring to FIG. 2 in conjunction with FIG. 1, the vehicle 102 includes a system 100 for monitoring the health of one or more users. The system 100 is adapted to monitor the health of the rider of the vehicle 102 and / or the rider or passenger of the rear seat, thereby ensuring safety.

[0027] System 100 includes at least one sensor 104 strategically placed at one or more locations on vehicle 102. Each of the at least one sensor 104 is configured to generate a heart rate detection signal when in contact with each of one or more users, and the heart rate detection signal indicates the heart rate of the corresponding one or more users. In one embodiment, each sensor 104 is a fingerprint sensor configured to detect the heart rate of one or more users and generate a corresponding heart rate detection signal. In this embodiment, six sensors are provided on vehicle 102 to monitor the heart rate of one or more users, four of which, sensors 104a, 104b, 104c, and 104d (shown in FIG. 3), are provided on the handlebar 116, and the other two sensors 104e, 104f (shown in FIG. 4) are provided on the sides of the vehicle seat 120. Sensors 104a and 104d are disposed on the handle grip portion 116a of the handlebar 116 (shown in FIG. 3), and sensors 104b and 104c are disposed near the steering shaft. Also, sensors 104e and 104f are provided on the sides of the seat 120 of the vehicle 102. In another embodiment, the dimensions of the sensor 104 are selected according to design feasibility and requirements.

[0028] System 100 further includes a control unit 106 disposed within vehicle 102 and communicatively coupled to each sensor 104. The control unit 106 is communicatively coupled to one or more sensors 104 via a wired or wireless connection, depending on design feasibility and requirements. The control unit 106 is adapted to monitor the health of one or more users based on the heart rate detection signals received from the sensors 104.

[0029] In one embodiment, the control unit 106 is also communicatively coupled to the ignition system 142 of the vehicle 102. Thus, the control unit 106 can control the operation of the ignition system 142 between the ignition-on state and the ignition-off state of the vehicle 102. Thus, the control unit 106 can control the ignition state of the vehicle 102. In one embodiment, the control unit 106 is configured to turn off or disconnect the ignition system 142 when at least one health parameter of one or more users deviates from a reference parameter. In one embodiment, the control unit 106 is adapted to prevent the operation of the ignition-on state of the vehicle 102 unless the health of one or more users complies with the reference parameter. Thus, unless one or more users are healthy, the control unit 106 prevents the use of the vehicle 102 by one or more users.

[0030] In one embodiment, the control unit 106 can be configured within an engine control unit (ECU) (not shown) of the vehicle 102. In another embodiment, the control unit 106 can be configured as a separate module attached to the instrument cluster 110 that can communicate with the ECU of the vehicle 102. In some embodiments, the control unit 106 may include one or more additional components such as, but not limited to, an input / output module, a preprocessing module, and an analysis module. In another embodiment, the vehicle 102 may include a plurality of identical or similar control units 106.

[0031] The control unit 106 communicates with components such as a processing module (not shown) and an analysis module (not shown). In another embodiment, the control unit 106 may be embodied as a multi-core processor, a single-core processor, or a combination of one or more multi-core processors and one or more single-core processors. For example, the control unit 106 may be embodied as one or more of various processing devices or modules such as a coprocessor, a microprocessor, a controller, a digital signal processor (DSP), a processing circuit with or without a DSP, or other various processing devices including integrated circuits such as an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a microcontroller unit (MCU), a hardware accelerator, a dedicated computer chip, etc. In yet another embodiment, the control unit 106 may be configured to execute hard-coded functions. In yet another embodiment, the control unit 106 may be embodied as an executor of instructions, and the instructions are specifically configured such that the control unit 106 executes the steps or operations described herein to monitor the health of one or more users.

[0032] Furthermore, the control unit 106 is communicatively coupled to the memory unit 108. The memory 108 can store the information processed by the control unit 106 and the data received from each sensor 104. Therefore, the data received and processed by the control unit 106 is made available upon request. The memory 108 is embodied as one or more volatile memory devices, such as magnetic storage devices, magneto-optical storage devices, one or more non-volatile memory devices, and / or combinations thereof, depending on the design feasibility and requirements. The memory 108 communicates with the control unit 106 via a suitable interface, such as an Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) adapter, a Serial ATA [SATA] adapter, a Small Computer System Interface [SCSI] adapter, a network adapter, or other components that enable communication between the memory 104 and the control unit 106.

[0033] In one embodiment, the control unit 106 is also communicatively coupled to an amplifier and filter circuit 140 known in the art for filtering and amplifying the heart rate detection signals received from each sensor 104. The amplifier and filter circuit 140 is communicatively coupled to the battery module 118 to receive power for filtering and amplifying the heart rate detection signals from the sensor 104.

[0034] In one embodiment, the control unit 106 is configured to manually initiate the monitoring of the health of one or more users when one or more users activate a switch 114 (shown in FIG. 3) attached to the handlebar 116. Alternatively, the control unit 106 can automatically initiate the monitoring of the health of one or more users when a user's finger touches the sensor 104. In one embodiment, the control unit 106 is configured to periodically monitor the health parameters of one or more users over a predetermined period. In this embodiment, the control unit 106 monitors the health parameters of one or more users for approximately 60 seconds to approximately 2.5 minutes.

[0035] The control unit 106 or the analysis module is adapted to monitor the health of one or more users based on the heart rate detection signal provided by the sensor 104. In one embodiment, the control unit 106 or the analysis module is adapted to measure the health parameters of one or more users using a heart rate detection signal from photoplethysmography. In one embodiment, the health parameters calculated by the control unit 106 include one of Spo2 level, heart rate variability, maximum heart rate, target heart rate, body mass index (BMI), tachycardia, bradycardia, mean heart rate interval, and root mean square of the successive differences between normal heartbeats (RMSSD).

[0036] Furthermore, the control unit 106 is configured to warn one or more users when at least one health parameter deviates from the reference parameters stored in the memory unit 108. In one embodiment, the control unit 106 is configured to warn the user via at least one of a visual warning, an audible warning, and a tactile warning.

[0037] In one embodiment, the control unit 106 is configured to provide a visual warning via the display unit 112 of the instrument cluster. The visual warning may be provided by indicating the health parameter that exceeds the display unit 112.

[0038] In one embodiment, the control unit 106 is configured to provide an audible warning via a speaker system (not shown) disposed on the vehicle 102. In one embodiment, the audible warning may be in the form of an audible tone or phrase depending on feasibility and requirements. In one embodiment, the speaker system may be integrated within the instrument cluster 110.

[0039] In one embodiment, the control unit 106 is configured to provide a tactile warning via a tactile feedback system (not shown) attached to a touch point of the vehicle 102. The tactile feedback system is configured to vibrate, thereby providing tactile feedback to a user of the vehicle 102. In one embodiment, the tactile feedback system includes a tactile feedback unit attached on the handgrip portion 116a of the vehicle 120 or under the seat 120.

[0040] In one embodiment, the control unit 106 is configured to display the determined heart rate on a display unit 112 (shown in FIG. 5) provided in the instrument cluster 110 of the vehicle 102.

[0041] In one embodiment, if the heart rate of the user determined by the control unit 106 is 125 BPM (beats per minute) or more, the user is in an anxious state or is driving in an excited state. Such a scenario is warned to the user by the control unit 106 to indicate the current health state of the user. In another embodiment, if the heart rate determined by the control unit 106 is 80 BPM or less, the user is in a drowsy or fatigued state. Such a scenario is also changed by the control unit 106 to indicate the drowsy and fatigued health state of the user.

[0042] In one embodiment, the control unit 106 is configured to calculate the inter-beat interval (IBI) to determine an abnormality of the user's heart. The control unit 106 calculates the inter-beat interval between the nth and (n - 1)th heartbeats as follows.

[0043]

Equation

[0044] In one embodiment, the control unit 106 is configured to determine the user's heart rate variability (HRV). Heart rate variability is a physiological phenomenon in which the time interval between consecutive heartbeats changes in milliseconds. Users with low HRV are prone to acute stress, while users with high HRV rarely feel stress and their cardiovascular systems are in good condition. The heart rate variability time domain index quantifies the amount of HRV observed during a monitoring period that can range from 1 minute to approximately 24 hours. In this embodiment, HRV analysis over 2.5 minutes is considered. Also, in this embodiment, the root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD) method is considered for calculating HRV. RMSSD is obtained by first calculating each consecutive time difference between heartbeats in milliseconds, then squaring each value, averaging the results, and finding the square root of the total as follows.

[0045]

Number

[0046] In one embodiment, the variation in heart rate per minute is observed as a percentage represented as follows for the variation in heart rate per minute.

[0047]

Number

[0048] In one embodiment, the display unit 112 is also configured to display the maximum heart rate and the target heart rate of the user based on the user's age. The maximum heart rate is the highest heart rate that the user can maintain. On the other hand, the target heart rate is defined as the minimum heart rate within a given time to reach the exercise level required for cardiovascular fitness, which is specific to age, gender, or physical fitness. In one embodiment, the target heart rate is 50 - 85 percent of the maximum heart rate. The control unit 106 is configured to calculate the maximum heart rate as follows. Maximum heart rate = 220 - age ········· (Equation 4)

[0049] In one embodiment, the control unit 106 calculates the target heart rate of a user who plans to visit the gym for training and indicates the maximum heart rate required for the user to perform the training. In one embodiment, the control unit 106 may be communicably coupled to a user device (not shown), such as a fitness tracker or a smartphone, adapted to monitor the user's heart rate. Thus, the control unit 106 can acquire the heart rate of the user during training through the user device. The control unit 106 is configured to determine whether the user has sufficient physical strength to board the vehicle 102 based on the heart rate of the user during training.

[0050] For example, if the age of the user boarding the vehicle 102 is 30 years old, the maximum heart rate is 220 - 30 = 190. Thus, the target heart rate of the user is 104 - 160 BPM. In one embodiment, the instrument cluster 110 can receive data regarding the user's age, height, weight, and / or other data. In one embodiment, the instrument cluster 110 can receive data regarding the user via a fitness tracker or a smartphone, or can be manually incorporated by the user.

[0051] In one embodiment, the control unit 106 determines the heart rate of one or more users via a sensor 104 that includes an infrared (IR) LED (not shown) and a photodetector diode (not shown) arranged to face each other. When the user's fingertip is inserted into the sensor 104, the IR LED illuminates the fingertip. The photodetector diode receives the light transmitted through the fingertip tissue, and the light is transmitted to the photodetector diode according to the blood volume of the tissue. Therefore, the intensity of the transmitted light changes according to the pulsation of the blood due to the heartbeat. A plot of the change in the intensity of the transmitted light is called a photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal. The PPG signal transmitted from the photodetector is weak and noisy, and is then modulated via an amplifier and a filter circuit (140).

[0052] Subsequently, the control unit 106 considers a graph display (shown in FIG. 6) with the number of heart rate samples on the X-axis and the analog-digital conversion (ADC) value of the intensity or amplitude of the PPG signal on the Y-axis. The value on the Y-axis determines the heart rate based on the intensity of the ADC value. In this embodiment, the threshold value on the Y-axis is set to 600. Therefore, if the ADC value observed on the Y-axis of the graph is greater than 600, it is regarded as one heartbeat, and similarly, the value is regarded as 15 seconds. Multiplying the heart rate obtained in 15 seconds by 4 gives the heart rate per minute. Since the interval is regarded as 15 seconds, the user does not need to wait for a longer time. Furthermore, a combination of 15 seconds provides a very accurate heart rate.

[0053] Based on the above example, if the heart rate determined by the control unit 106 in 15 seconds is 16, multiplying this value by 4 gives the BPM. That is, 16 * 4 = 64 BPM. Furthermore, the inter-beat interval (IBI) is determined considering the time taken between two consecutive heartbeats. Such time is considered in milliseconds. In one embodiment, the control unit 106 is provided with a module that provides a time elapsed value in milliseconds. The time elapsed values between two consecutive heartbeats are as follows.

[0054] [Table 1]

[0055] Once the time course of the heart rate intervals is obtained, the average heart rate interval is determined using Equation (1). The average heart rate intervals are compared with each other to estimate the user's heart rhythm. For example, if the time (t1) taken for one heartbeat is 600 milliseconds and the time (t2) taken for the next heartbeat is 1200 milliseconds, the time intervals are subtracted. That is, t1 - t2 = 1200 - 600 = 600 milliseconds.

[0056] Next, the heart rate variability is calculated using Equation (2). Here, 88002 is the square of the difference in heart rate intervals over 2.5 minutes, and 90 is the N value. Note that this counts the number of times the difference in heart rate intervals over 2.5 minutes was calculated. Therefore, the heart rate variability is calculated as the square root of (88002 / 90) = 31. Thus, if the calculated heart rate variability deviates from the nominal range, the user is warned.

[0057] Figure 7 shows a method 700 for determining a user's health parameters in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0058] In step 702, the control unit 106 receives a heart rate detection signal from the sensor 104. The heart rate detection signal may be filtered or amplified via an amplifier and filter unit 140 (shown in FIG. 2), where noise is filtered and the signal is amplified. In one embodiment, the heart rate detection signal generated by the sensor 104 may be from a rider of the vehicle 102 and / or a rider in the rear seat. In another embodiment, data regarding the heart rate of the rider is acquired by sensors 104a - 104d, while sensors 104e, 104f acquire data regarding the rider in the rear seat. Upon obtaining the heart rate detection signal from the sensor 104, the control unit 106 proceeds to step 704.

[0059] In step 704, the control unit 106 calculates the health parameters corresponding to each user (i.e., the rider and / or the rider in the rear seat) based on the received heart rate detection signal, as previously described.

[0060] In step 706, the control unit 106 displays the calculated health parameter on the display unit 112. In one embodiment, the control unit 106 displays the calculated health parameter on the display unit 112 together with the reference health parameter.

[0061] In step 708, the control unit 106 compares the calculated health parameter with the reference parameter. As an example, if the calculated health parameter is the heart rate and it is determined that it is 100, the control unit 106 compares the heart rate of 106 BPM with the reference heart rate between 80 BPM and 125 BPM. Since the heart rate is within the normal range, the control unit 102 proceeds to step 710 and permits the starting of the vehicle 102. In one embodiment, the control unit 106 maintains the connection between the ignition system 142 and the battery module 118 to enable the starting of the vehicle 102.

[0062] If the heart rate detected by the control unit 106 is 130 BPM, the control unit 106 determines that the calculated heart rate deviates from the reference heart rate. In such a scenario, method 700 proceeds to step 712, warns one or more users, and prevents the starting of the vehicle 102. After warning, method 700 proceeds to step 714, disconnects the ignition system 142 to prevent the starting of the vehicle 102. Thus, the system 100 prevents the starting or use of the vehicle 102 if one or more users have health problems.

[0063] The claimed invention disclosed above is not routine, conventional, or well-understood in the art, and the claimed aspects enable the following solutions to existing problems in the prior art. Specifically, the claimed aspect of monitoring the health parameters of one or more users guarantees the safety of the rider and / or the rider in the rear seat before the vehicle starts. Further, since the system is wirelessly connected, it is portable. Additionally, the system is configured to monitor the user's health parameters even during the user's physical activity. Thus, the system is configured to actively monitor the user's health.
