[0003] Patent Document 1: JP 2000-300593 A, US Patent Application Publication No. 2015 / 0164422
[0004] The heating device described in Patent Document 1 is capable of warming the human body using a heating element attached to a belt, and describes a configuration in which the degree of contact between the human body and the heating element is measured with a pressure sensor and the amount of heat generated can be controlled. Furthermore, the biomedical device described in Patent Document 2 describes a configuration in which a sensor is attached to a belt and physical information of the user can be acquired. However, because these configurations press the heating element or sensor probe against the human body, there is room for improvement in terms of comfort when worn, and the uses of each device are limited. Furthermore, there are issues with the effects of treatment and measurement not reaching deep inside the body.
[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention aims to provide an electromagnetic wave generating device that is comfortable to wear, can be used for a wide range of purposes, and can provide appropriate therapeutic effects and measurement accuracy even inside the body.

[0018] An electromagnetic wave generating device X according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The description will be made in detail in the order of the configuration of the embodiment, the method of implementation, and other examples. Note that the embodiment shown below is an example of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment.
[0019] <<Embodiment>> As shown in Figures 1a and 1b, the electromagnetic wave generating device X according to this embodiment comprises a main unit 1, a belt 2, and an attachment 3 that makes the main unit 1 and the belt 2 detachable, and enables non-invasive measurement and / or treatment using electromagnetic waves.
[0020] The main device 1 is a box-shaped or flat non-invasive device that forms the main part of the electromagnetic wave generating device X, and includes an emission device 11 that can emit electromagnetic waves and a control device 12 that can control the electromagnetic waves. The surface that emits the electromagnetic waves is defined as an entrance / exit surface 13.
[0021] As shown in FIG. 4, the emitter 11 is a device provided in the main unit 1 and is capable of generating electromagnetic waves in a predetermined frequency band. The frequency band here refers to a band that is invisible to the human eye and does not have a significant adverse effect on the human body or communication devices. In particular, in the example according to this embodiment, it is preferable that the frequency band be between 1 Hz and 300 GHz, particularly the frequency band commonly referred to as millimeter waves and / or microwaves. This configuration makes it easy to control the intensity and duration of the emitted electromagnetic waves and enables non-invasive measurement or treatment of a living body B (especially the human body).
[0022] 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, and 3, one or more, preferably two or more, emission devices 11 are provided in the main device 1 in a direction in which electromagnetic waves are emitted from the entrance / exit surface 13. With this configuration, the source and emission location of the electromagnetic waves are separated depending on the use of the electromagnetic waves, and various operations of the main device 1 can be stabilized, including for use in thermotherapy and to assist in that treatment.
[0023] As shown in Figure 3, the electromagnetic waves emitted from the emission device 11 propagate inside the living body B and reach the organ T. The organ T is an organ of the living body B, including the intestines, and its operating state changes depending on the state of the living body B. In this case, the electromagnetic waves are reflected by the organ T and return to the main device 1, making it possible to measure the operation of the organ T (such as intestinal peristalsis), and the vibration of the electromagnetic waves can provide a thermal effect to the organ T and activate cells and tissues. Furthermore, if the electromagnetic waves are millimeter waves or microwaves, they have high directionality and transparency, so they can act locally only on a specific organ T (and its surroundings), and are therefore safe in that the living body B is less likely to be affected by the electromagnetic waves more than necessary.
[0024] In the above example, the electromagnetic waves emitted from the emission device 11 are directed toward the organ T, but the target to which the electromagnetic waves are emitted may be other tissues of the human body, including bones, skin S, and blood, or may be identified on a cell-by-cell basis. This also applies to the following description, and the parts referring to the organ T may be appropriately interpreted as various tissues and cells of the human body. This allows for efficient delivery of a therapeutic effect to the necessary areas of the living body B. Furthermore, it is possible to efficiently raise the core body temperature of the living body B and activate the cells or the immune system.
[0025] Preferably, a plurality of emitters 11 according to this embodiment are provided in the main body device 1, and configured to be able to emit a plurality of types of electromagnetic waves. For example, as described above, a configuration may be provided in which a plurality of measurement wave emitters 111 capable of emitting electromagnetic waves such as millimeter waves and microwaves as well as terahertz waves are provided. Another example is a configuration including, in addition to the measurement wave emitters 111, a light emitter 112 capable of emitting visible light.
[0026] The light emitting device 112 is a device capable of emitting visible light from the entrance / exit surface 13 toward the living body B, and includes a general lighting device. When the emitting device 11 includes the light emitting device 112, the control device 12 has an optical measurement device 126 (details will be described later). This makes it possible to acquire the user's biological information using photoplethysmography (PPG) or the like.
[0027] 4, the control device 12 is a computer device built into the main body device 1, and operates in accordance with a predetermined program to control the electromagnetic waves emitted from the emission device 11. The control device 12 includes a receiving unit 121 that receives electromagnetic waves, a thermal sensor 122 that can measure the temperature of the user's living body B, a calculation unit 123 that can store and process various data, and a control unit 124 that can control the operation of the emission device 11.
[0028] The receiving unit 121 is a device that receives electromagnetic waves reflected from the inside of the living body B, particularly from the organ T, and transfers data of the received electromagnetic waves (including waveform and measurement time) to the calculation unit 123. This makes it possible to measure the movement of the living body B due to the electromagnetic waves and the activity state of the organ T. It is also preferable that the receiving unit 121 be able to receive data transmitted from the outside (heat index, location information signals, etc.). With this configuration, the main unit 1 can be used for a variety of purposes.
[0029] The thermal sensor 122 is a device capable of measuring the temperature of the living body B and, if necessary, the temperature around the living body B, and transfers data including the measured temperature to the calculation unit 123. This provides material for quantitatively evaluating the appropriate thermal effect inside the living body B.
[0030] The calculation unit 123 is a calculation device that stores data on the electromagnetic waves received by the receiving unit 121 and data measured by the thermal sensor 122, and calculates the emission direction (target position), intensity, and frequency of the electromagnetic waves that will be newly emitted by the emitting device 11 based on these data, and transmits the calculation results to the control unit 124 to enable control of the emitting device 11. In this way, the electromagnetic waves directed toward the living body B are appropriately adjusted.
[0031] The control unit 124 is a device that can control the electromagnetic waves emitted from the emission device 11 based on an input signal from the calculation unit 123. Here, the control unit 124 adjusts the electromagnetic waves emitted from the emission device 11 to the emission direction (target position), intensity (wavelength, amplitude, etc.), and frequency calculated by the calculation unit 123.
[0032] As an example, the control device 12 controls the electromagnetic waves as follows. When the control target is the emission direction of the electromagnetic waves, the direction of the emission device 11 is changed. The target value to be changed to is determined, for example, by the attitude (or position, if necessary) of the emission device 11, and the specific numerical value is calculated by the calculation unit 123 based on the coordinates of the position or range of the target organ T from the data of the electromagnetic waves received by the receiving unit 121. The control unit 124 adjusts the direction (attitude) of the emission device 11 toward the target value determined in this way.
[0033] As another example of control of electromagnetic waves in the control device 12, when the control target is the intensity and frequency of electromagnetic waves, the wavelength or frequency and amplitude (or other elements) of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the emission device 11 are appropriately calculated in the calculation unit 123, and the calculation results are transmitted to the emission device 11 via the control unit 124. At this time, the target values of the wavelength, frequency and amplitude are determined by parameters including the required amount of energy, transparency and attenuation rate, and are calculated in the calculation unit 123 based on the parameters from the data of the electromagnetic waves received by the reception unit 121.
[0034] In addition to the above components, the control device 12 is preferably configured to include a sound sensor 125, an optical measurement device 126, and a temperature and humidity sensor 127. The sound sensor 125 is a device, a so-called microphone, that collects sounds around the main device 1, particularly sounds inside the living body B, and acquires the user's body movements through sound, making it possible to collect data. This allows the main device 1 to be used for applications such as capturing the movements of organs T (e.g., intestinal peristalsis, lung movements associated with breathing, etc.) through sound, understanding the user's health condition, or easily communicating via voice communication.
[0035] The light measuring device 126 is a device that measures the amount of light (light quantity), and makes it possible to measure the amount and / or intensity (including luminosity and transmittance) of light that is returned when light (visible light) emitted from the light emitting device 112 passes through the skin S and is reflected inside the living body B (or on the belt 2 opposite the main device 1). With this configuration, it is possible to obtain the user's biological information using a photovoltaic volume measurement (PPG) method or the like, which shines light directly on the body surface of the living body B.
[0036] The temperature and humidity sensor 127 is a thermometer or hygrometer mounted along the surface of the main unit 1 and measures the temperature and / or humidity around the user. As shown in FIG. 5 , the data obtained from the measurement is transmitted to the calculation unit 123 and linked with other data as needed to estimate the user's surrounding environment and, if necessary, to serve as a basis for detecting the user's health risks. As an example, a local heat index (a numerical value calculated based on the user's personal perception of heat according to a heat index calculation method) is calculated from the temperature and humidity measured by the temperature and humidity sensor 127. This is then linked to data on body movement and organ T activity to detect the user's risk of developing heatstroke. This allows for more accurate analysis of the user's physical risk and allows the user or administrator to easily be notified of the result.
[0037] The input / output surface 13 is the surface on the outer surface of the main unit 1 from which electromagnetic waves are emitted, and as shown in Fig. 3, when in use, it is attached so as to face the living body B. With this configuration, the direction of emission of the electromagnetic waves can be reliably directed toward the living body B (particularly the organ T), and the electromagnetic waves can be used efficiently.
[0038] As shown in Figures 2a and 2b, the main unit 1 further includes a display device 14 on a surface facing the entrance / exit surface 13 capable of emitting electromagnetic waves (measurement waves). The display device 14 is a flat screen capable of displaying images (including videos), and in this embodiment, is provided over part or all of one surface of the main unit 1 facing the entrance / exit surface 13. Examples of images displayed on the display device 14 include a user interface display that allows operation of various functions of the main unit 1, display of measurement data using electromagnetic waves, and advertisements. This allows users to easily use the main unit 1 for a variety of purposes.
[0039] The main device 1 further includes a battery (not shown). This battery is a secondary battery that supplies power to operate each device inside the main device 1. This eliminates the need to connect a power supply cable or the like when using the electromagnetic wave generator X, making it easier to use and improving the comfort of wearing the main device 1.
[0040] The main unit 1 having the above configuration can be used as a measuring device, such as a device for measuring physical conditions that mainly uses a Doppler sensor, and can also be applied to health management services, communication devices, information display devices, etc.
[0041] The belt 2 is a belt-like member that can be wrapped around the living body B, and has a thickness that does not hinder the movement of the living body B, and a width that allows the main device 1 to be attached and supported. In the example according to this embodiment, the belt 2 can be wrapped around the limbs or waist of a human body, and includes a band, a waist belt, etc. With this configuration, the electromagnetic wave generating device X can be easily attached to the living body B (particularly the human body).
[0042] 1a and 1b, the attachment tool 3 is a member that enables the main device 1 to be attached to and detached from the belt 2, and has a fitting portion 31 on the belt 2 side and a fitting receiving portion 32 on the main device 1 side. This allows the main device 1 to be attached to and detached from the belt 2 with a simple operation.
[0043] The fitting portion 31 is provided at the end of the belt 2 and is an approximately rectangular parallelepiped member that is rigid enough to prevent it from being bent by human force.It has a thickness that is approximately the same as the opening width of the fitting-receiving portion 32 described below, and its height is smaller than the opening height of the fitting-receiving portion 32.
[0044] As shown in Figure 1a, the fitting portion 31 has locking bodies 311 at both ends in the width direction of the belt 2. The locking bodies 311 are elastic members provided so as to extend from both ends of the fitting portion 31, and have notches provided from the belt 2 side to create a gap between the fitting portion 31 and the locking bodies 311, forming an L-shape (or an inverted L-shape). The width of the notches is set to be at least greater than the height of a locking portion 321 (described below) of the fitting-receiving portion 32, which will be described later. As a result, the locking bodies 311 elastically deform to a size that allows them to pass through the opening of the fitting-receiving portion 32, and when the fitting portion 31 fits into the fitting-receiving portion 32, they return to their original shape and lock onto the locking portion 321, which will be described later.
[0045] The fitting-receiving portion 32 is a box-shaped member that is provided integrally with the main body device 1, and allows the fitting portion 31 to fit through its opening. The fitting-receiving portions 32 are provided opposite each other on two surfaces different from the entrance / exit surface 13, particularly on two surfaces adjacent to the entrance / exit surface 13. With this configuration, the entrance / exit surface 13 is exposed when the device is not worn, and the device is attached so that the entrance / exit surface 13 faces the user's torso (living body B).
[0046] The fitting-receiving portion 32 has locking portions 321 on the inner peripheral surface of the opening at both ends in the height direction (the direction corresponding to the width direction of the belt 2). The locking portions 321 are protruding portions formed integrally with the fitting-receiving portion 32, and their height is approximately equal to that of the locking body 311. As shown in Figure 1b, one surface of the locking portion 321 engages with and abuts against the side surface of the locking body 311 when the fitting portion 31 is attached, thereby preventing unintentional removal by the user.
[0047] The fitting-receiving portion 32 has an operating portion 322 on a surface different from the entrance / exit surface 13 of the main unit 1. The operating portion 322 is a member provided on the side of the main unit 1 and penetrates into the opening. The operating portion 322 is at least greater in height than the locking portion 321 and is capable of reciprocating motion toward the center of the opening. Furthermore, when the fitting portion 31 is attached, the operating portion 322 abuts against the locking body 311 inside the opening, and when pressed by the user, elastically deforms the locking body 311, making it possible to remove the fitting portion 31 from the fitting-receiving portion 32.
[0048] The attachments 3 having the above-described configuration are provided on both sides of the main device 1 or on both ends of the belt 2. With this configuration, the main device 1 and the belt 2 can be completely separated, and each can be used separately as needed.
[0049] The present invention may have the following configurations. However, the following configurations are merely examples, and the presence or absence of the configurations can be determined arbitrarily unless otherwise specified.
[0050] <<Modification>> As an example of the main device 1 provided with a plurality of emitters 11, one emitter 11 may emit electromagnetic waves as measurement waves for measuring the body movements of the user, and another emitter 11 may emit therapeutic electromagnetic waves for treating a target such as an organ T. This allows each emitter 11 to emit electromagnetic waves of different intensities and frequencies depending on the application, thereby enabling stabilization of operation.
[0051] As an example of adding further functions to the above configuration, the emission device 11 may be provided with an ultrasound generator. In this case, the control device 12 is configured to include an ultrasound sensor. This allows the main device 1 to perform various ultrasound-based examinations and / or treatments on the living body B. Examples of applications include echocardiography, regeneration-promoting hyperthermia, blood flow improvement, pain relief, and cosmetic medicine, including high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy. Furthermore, since the main device 1 is configured to be easily attached to the living body B, the user can easily perform various examinations and / or treatments without having to hold the device in their hands.
[0052] The control device 12 is preferably configured to control each component in conjunction with the battery provided in the main unit 1. As an example, the control device 12 includes a switching unit that stops the operation of the discharge device 11 when the remaining battery charge falls below a predetermined value. For example, the switching unit switches the discharge device 11 for hyperthermia treatment from operation to stop when the remaining battery charge falls below 20% of the total charge, and also switches the discharge device 11 for body movement measurement from operation to stop when the remaining battery charge falls below 10% of the total charge (the order of hyperthermia treatment and body movement measurement may be reversed). This allows only the necessary operations to be prioritized according to the usage situation. Furthermore, when there are multiple discharge devices 11, the control device 12 is preferably configured to be able to set which one to stop first according to the user's intention.
[0053] The main device 1, particularly the control device 12, may be provided with an air pressure sensor or an acceleration sensor. The air pressure sensor is a barometer provided along the surface of the main device 1, and measures the air pressure around the user. The data obtained by the measurement is transmitted to the calculation unit 123, linked to other data as necessary, and used as information for detecting health risks to the user.
[0054] The acceleration sensor detects the movement of the main unit 1 itself and collects data that can be used to estimate the user's movements. This allows for quick detection of any accidents caused by sudden acceleration or deceleration, or for detecting abnormalities such as the main unit 1 falling off, and notifying the user or administrator. In addition to the acceleration sensor, the main unit 1 may also have an attitude sensor (including a gyro sensor, etc.), which may be used in conjunction with the acceleration sensor to detect the movements of the main unit 1.
[0055] As shown in Figure 2b, the main device 1 and the attachment fixture 3 may be formed separately and configured to overlap at the entrance / exit surface 13 for detachable attachment. With this configuration, the belt 2 can be used even when the main device 1 is removed, and the main device 1 can be attached to the attachment fixture 3 for use as needed. Note that various configurations such as fitting, locking, and sliding may be used to attach the main device 1 to the attachment fixture 3.
[0056] The belt 2 is not limited to the above-mentioned waist belt, as long as it can be wrapped around the user's body and secured. Examples include a belly band, a scarf, an inner garment, etc., and as long as they are configured to hold the main device 1, the presence or absence of the attachment 3 can be determined arbitrarily.
[0057] According to the electromagnetic wave generating device X having the above configuration, the main device 1 can be used for a variety of purposes. For example, it can link the heat index (WBGT) with body movement to detect dehydration and other symptoms, thereby early detection of the user's risk of heatstroke, link location information with health status to prevent wandering, grasp stress and concentration levels from health status, and administer thermotherapy to organ T using electromagnetic waves. Furthermore, by attaching the main device 1 to a belt 2, it is possible to achieve higher measurement accuracy and therapeutic effects.
[0058] The calculation unit 123 may also include a transmission unit that transmits the calculation results to an external server, which allows the health condition of the user to be checked externally, making it possible to detect abnormal conditions of the user and facilitate data collection. Note that the control unit 124 may be operable via signals from an external source.
[0059] Hereinafter, a method for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The ...
[0060] <<Method of Implementation>> First, the user attaches the fitting portion 31 at one end of the belt 2 to the fitting-receiving portion 32 integrated with the main device 1. At this time, the pressed-in locking body 311 is locked into the locking portion 321, preventing the fitting portion 31 from unintentionally falling off. The user then wraps the belt 2 around the body (particularly the waist), attaches the fitting portion 31 at the other end of the belt 2 to the other fitting-receiving portion 32 of the main device 1, and wears the electromagnetic wave generating device X. However, care must be taken to wear the device with the entrance / exit surface 13 facing the user's body.
[0061] Next, the user operates the main device 1 to measure body movements and internal organ movements, and also causes the emission device 11 to emit therapeutic electromagnetic waves as needed.
[0062] When the user wants to remove the main unit 1, he or she presses the operating portion 322 to remove the fitting portion 31 from the fitting-receiving portion 32. At this time, the user presses the operating portion 322, which elastically deforms the locking bodies 311, making the distance between the locking bodies 311 smaller than the distance between the locking portions 321, thereby enabling removal.
