Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a monitoring system, and more particularly to an intelligent oxygen concentrator monitoring system that can predict the usage status of an oxygen concentrator and handle malfunctions in real time, so as to achieve user safety and preventive maintenance of the machine. [Previous Technology]

[0002] Oxygen concentrators mainly concentrate the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere. Their function is to release gases with a higher oxygen concentration than those in the atmosphere. The oxygen concentration in the atmosphere is generally about 20%. If the oxygen concentration can be increased to about 30% to about 35%, it can help individuals relieve fatigue and release stress after strenuous exercise. In particular, patients with respiratory diseases, such as asthma, often need to use higher concentrations of oxygen for medical and health care purposes.

[0003] In general, medical institutions, such as hospitals and nursing homes, usually have an oxygen generator to produce an appropriate concentration of oxygen, thereby providing a more comfortable environment for general patients or maintaining the vital signs of critically ill patients. However, a large number of patients need to have an oxygen generator set in their home environment for their use.

[0004] Although the oxygen concentrators currently used at home are equipped with fault warning functions, if users or caregivers fail to detect the fault warnings in time, it can easily cause safety concerns for users. Moreover, existing oxygen concentrators usually only have the function of warning notification when a fault occurs. However, if a warning notification occurs, it means that the oxygen concentrator has already malfunctioned or broken. Repairing the oxygen concentrator at this time will also cause users to be unable to use it immediately, which will also cause safety concerns. In addition, oxygen concentrators can also be obtained through rental. Although most oxygen concentrators have basic fault detection, if oxygen concentrator rental companies can know the usage status or aging and malfunction potential of the oxygen concentrators in advance, they can carry out repairs or replacements in advance. This will not only make the oxygen concentrators easier to use, but also give users a better user experience.

[0005] Therefore, how to improve the above-mentioned deficiencies is the technical difficulty that the inventors of this case want to solve. [Summary of the Invention]

The management and monitoring device 5 and the designated communication device 6 can also be wirelessly connected to the wireless communication unit 28 of the sensing device 2 at the same time. However, in this embodiment, the wireless communication unit 28 is mainly implemented by wirelessly connecting to the server device 3.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 2, which is a block diagram illustrating the implementation of the intelligent oxygen concentrator monitoring system of the present invention. In this embodiment, it represents the training process of the AI ​​information collection module 314 during the training phase. When the oxygen concentrator 4 provides concentrated oxygen to the user, it needs to provide normal oxygen concentration and flow rate. Furthermore, the oxygen concentrator 4 needs to provide concentrated oxygen at normal operating temperature, operating sound, and operating vibration. The oxygen concentration sensing unit 20 of the sensing device 2 senses the oxygen concentration delivered by the oxygen concentrator 4 and generates at least one oxygen concentration sensing data D1. The oxygen flow sensing unit 21 senses the oxygen flow rate delivered by the oxygen concentrator 4 and generates at least one oxygen flow sensing data D. 2.

The sound sensing unit 24 senses the operating sound of the oxygen concentrator 4 and generates at least one sound sensing data D5. The vibration sensing unit 25 senses the vibration of the oxygen concentrator 4 and generates at least one vibration sensing data D6.

The operation sensing data D7 may include the serial number, service life, number of uses, and usage time of the oxygen concentrator 4, as well as other machine information and machine operation information.

[0032] The oxygen concentration sensing data D1, oxygen flow sensing data D2, image data D3, temperature sensing data D4, sound sensing data D5, vibration sensing data D6, and operation sensing data D7, after being generated, are first transmitted to the data compression unit 27. The data compression unit 27 receives the oxygen concentration sensing data D1, oxygen flow sensing data D2, image data D3, temperature sensing data D4, sound sensing data D5, vibration sensing data D6, and operation sensing data D7, and compresses the oxygen concentration sensing data D1, oxygen flow sensing data D2, image data D3, temperature sensing data D4, sound sensing data D5, vibration sensing data D6, and operation sensing data D7 into a sensing compressed data CD1, and then compresses the sensing compressed data CD1 into a sensing compressed data CD1. D1 is transmitted to the wireless communication unit 28, which then transmits its sensed compressed data CD1 to the server device 3. The server device 3 receives the sensed compressed data CD1 and transmits it to the data decompression unit 34. The data decompression unit 34 receives the sensed compressed data CD1 and decompresses it to restore the oxygen concentration sensed data D1, oxygen flow sensed data D2, image data D3, temperature sensed data D4, sound sensed data D5, vibration sensed data D6, and operation sensed data D7. The data decompression unit 34 then transmits the oxygen concentration sensed data D1, oxygen flow sensed data D2, image data D3, temperature sensed data D4, sound sensed data D5, vibration sensed data D6, and operation sensed data D7 to the information classification unit 31.

[0033] After receiving the oxygen concentration sensing data D1, oxygen flow sensing data D2, image data D3, temperature sensing data D4, sound sensing data D5, vibration sensing data D6, and operation sensing data D7, the information classification unit 31 first receives the oxygen concentration sensing data D1, oxygen flow sensing data D2, image data D3, temperature sensing data D4, sound sensing data D5, and vibration sensing data D6 through the normalization module 311. The normalization module 311 aligns the aforementioned 6 types of data with the timestamp and performs normalization processing to obtain a normalized oxygen concentration data D11, a normalized oxygen flow data D21, a normalized image data D31, a normalized temperature data D41, a normalized sound data D51, and a normalized vibration data D61.

[0034] The feature selection module 312 receives the oxygen concentration data D11, oxygen flow rate data D21, image data D31, temperature data D41, sound data D51, and vibration data D61. The feature selection module 312 extracts independent features and common intersection features from the aforementioned 6 sets of data to obtain multiple independent features F1 and at least one intersection feature F2. The grouping and classification module 313 receives the independent features F1 and intersection features F2 and classifies them to obtain at least one classification result R1. The classification result R1 and the independent features F1 and intersection features F2 are used for machine learning to generate the AI ​​information collection module 314.

[0035] Furthermore, the selection of the oxygen concentrator 4 can be determined according to the use of the grouping and classification module 313. The grouping and classification module 313 first performs data grouping using unsupervised learning, and then classifies the grouped data to generate the classification result R1.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 3, which is a block diagram illustrating the implementation of the intelligent oxygen concentrator monitoring system of the present invention monitoring an oxygen concentrator in an abnormal state. When the oxygen concentrator 4 provides concentrated oxygen to the user, it needs to provide normal oxygen concentration and flow rate, and it also needs to provide concentrated oxygen at normal operating temperature and operating sound. The oxygen concentration sensing unit 20 of the monitoring device 2 senses the oxygen concentration delivered by the oxygen concentrator 4 and generates the oxygen concentration sensing data D1. The oxygen flow sensing unit 21 senses the oxygen delivery amount of the oxygen concentrator 4 and generates the oxygen flow sensing data D2. Simultaneously, the image capturing unit... The system continuously captures images of the user receiving oxygen and generates image data D3. The temperature sensing unit 23 senses the operating temperature of the oxygen concentrator 4 and generates temperature sensing data D4. The sound sensing unit 24 senses the operating sound of the oxygen concentrator 4 and generates sound sensing data D5. The vibration sensing unit 25 senses the vibration of the oxygen concentrator 4 and generates vibration sensing data D6. The operation sensing unit 26 senses the operation of the oxygen concentrator 4 and generates operation sensing data D7. The operation sensing data D7 may include the serial number, service life, number of uses, and usage time of the oxygen concentrator 4, as well as other machine information and operation information.

[0037] After the oxygen concentration sensing data D1, oxygen flow sensing data D2, image data D3, temperature sensing data D4, sound sensing data D5, vibration sensing data D6, and operation sensing data D7 are generated, they are first transmitted to the data compression unit 27. The data compression unit 27 receives the concentration sensing data D1, oxygen flow sensing data D2, image data D3, temperature sensing data D4, sound sensing data D5, vibration sensing data D6, and operation sensing data D7, and then compresses the oxygen concentration sensing data D1, oxygen flow sensing data D2, image data D3, temperature sensing data D4, sound sensing data D5, vibration sensing data D6, and operation sensing data D7. The measured data D7 is compressed into sensing compressed data CD1. The servo device 3 receives the sensing compressed data CD1 and transmits it to the data decompression unit 34. Then, the data decompression unit 34 receives the sensing compressed data CD1 and decompresses it to restore the concentration sensing data D1, oxygen flow sensing data D2, image data D3, temperature sensing data D4, sound sensing data D5, vibration sensing data D6, and operation sensing data D7. The data decompression unit 34 then transmits the oxygen concentration sensing data D1, oxygen flow sensing data D2, image data D3, temperature sensing data D4, sound sensing data D5, vibration sensing data D6, and operation sensing data D7 to the data comparison unit 32.

[0038] The data comparison unit 32 receives the oxygen concentration sensing data D1, oxygen flow sensing data D2, image data D3, temperature sensing data D4, sound sensing data D5, vibration sensing data D6, and operation sensing data D7, and simultaneously retrieves the oxygen concentration data 331, oxygen flow sensing data 332, skin color judgment data 333, body temperature data 334, body sound data 335, and body vibration data 336 from the parameter data storage unit 33, and performs comparisons of oxygen concentration, oxygen flow, image, temperature, sound, and vibration, generating a comparison information CI. If the data comparison unit 32 finds that the oxygen concentration sensing data D1 and oxygen concentration data 331 are abnormal oxygen concentrations, or if the oxygen flow sensing data D2 and oxygen flow data 332 are abnormal oxygen concentrations, then the comparison unit 32 will perform a comparison of the oxygen concentration sensing data D1 and oxygen flow sensing data D2 and oxygen flow sensing data D7. When an abnormal situation occurs, such as abnormal oxygen flow, abnormal skin color when comparing image data D3 with skin color judgment data 333, abnormal temperature when comparing temperature sensing data D4 with body temperature data 334 and abnormal sound when comparing sound sensing data D5 with body sound data 335, or abnormal vibration when comparing vibration sensing data D6 with body vibration data 336, the data comparison unit 32 generates an abnormal information EI. At the same time, the data comparison unit 32 transmits the comparison information CI and the abnormal information EI along with the operation sensing data D7 to the management and monitoring device 5, and transmits the abnormal information EI to the designated communication device 6, so that the management and monitoring device 5 and the designated communication device 6 can know from the abnormal information EI that the oxygen concentrator 4 has malfunctioned and take immediate action.

[0039] The comparison information CI includes oxygen concentration sensing data D1, oxygen flow sensing data D2, image data D3, temperature sensing data D4, sound sensing data D5, and vibration sensing data D6, so that the management and monitoring device 5 can record the operation and information of the oxygen concentrator 4 through the comparison information CI and the operation sensing data D7.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 4 and 5, which are schematic diagrams of the first and second blocks of the intelligent oxygen concentrator monitoring system of the present invention monitoring the oxygen concentrator to a normal state. The data comparison unit 32 receives the oxygen concentration sensing data D1, oxygen flow sensing data D2, image data D3, temperature sensing data D4, sound sensing data D5, vibration sensing data D6, and operation sensing data D7. Simultaneously, it retrieves the oxygen concentration data 331, oxygen flow data 332, skin color judgment data 333, body temperature data 334, body sound data 335, and body vibration data 336 from the parameter data storage unit 33 and performs comparisons of oxygen concentration, oxygen flow, image, temperature, sound, and vibration. If the data comparison unit 32 compares the oxygen concentration sensing data D1 with the oxygen flow data D2, the system will perform a comparison. When the concentration data 331 is normal oxygen concentration, and when the oxygen flow rate sensing data D2 and oxygen flow rate data 332 are normal oxygen flow rates, and when the image data D3 and skin color judgment data 333 are normal skin colors, and when the temperature sensing data D4 and body temperature data 334 are normal temperatures, and when the sound sensing data D5 and body sound data 335 are normal sounds, and when the vibration sensing data D6 and body vibration data 336 are normal vibrations, the data comparison unit 32 generates the comparison information CI. At the same time, the data comparison unit 32 transmits the comparison information CI and the operation sensing data D7 to the management and monitoring device 5, so that the management and monitoring device 5 can record the operation and information of the oxygen concentrator 4 through the comparison information CI and the operation sensing data D7.

[0041] Simultaneously, as shown in Figure 5, after the information classification unit 31 receives the oxygen concentration sensing data D1, oxygen flow sensing data D2, image data D3, temperature sensing data D4, sound sensing data D5, vibration sensing data D6, and operation sensing data D7, it first receives the oxygen concentration sensing data D1, oxygen flow sensing data D2, image data D3, temperature sensing data D4, sound sensing data D5, and vibration sensing data D6 through the normalization module 311, and the normalization module 31... The aforementioned six types of data are aligned with the timestamp and normalized to obtain the normalized data of oxygen concentration D11, oxygen flow rate D21, image D31, temperature D41, sound D51, and vibration D61. The feature selection module 312 receives the normalized data of oxygen concentration D11, oxygen flow rate D21, image D31, temperature D41, sound D51, and vibration D61. 312. By extending the data features through feature engineering from the aforementioned 6 sets of formal data, independent features and common intersection features are extracted to obtain the independent feature F1 and intersection feature F2. The group classification module 313 receives the independent feature F1 and intersection feature F2 and classifies at least the classification result R1. The learned AI information collection module 314 receives the classification result R1 and the independent feature F1 and intersection feature F2 and judges to generate at least one analysis information PI. The server device 3 transmits the analysis information PI to the management and monitoring device 5 and the designated communication device 6, so that the management and monitoring device 5 and the designated communication device 6 can know the usage status of the oxygen concentrator 4 and the abnormalities before failure from the analysis information PI and take measures or replace it. This achieves the effect of predicting the usage status of the oxygen concentrator 4 and dealing with it in time before failure, so as to achieve the effects of user safety and preventive maintenance of the machine. It can also achieve the effect of estimating its degradation time and scheduling maintenance in advance, so as to provide users with multiple protections and reduce the service interruption caused by maintenance time.

[0042] Furthermore, when the information classification unit 31 receives the oxygen concentration sensing data D1, oxygen flow sensing data D2, image data D3, temperature sensing data D4, sound sensing data D5, vibration sensing data D6, and operation sensing data D7, if some of the aforementioned six types of sensing data are lost during transmission or data processing, the compensation module 315 can generate at least one compensation data D8. The generation of the compensation data is based on the oxygen concentration sensing data D1, the oxygen flow sensing data D2, the image data D3, or... The average or median value of temperature sensing data D4, sound sensing data D5, or vibration sensing data D6, or statistical values ​​representing their distribution, are transmitted to the normalization module 311 via the complementary value data D8.
