Abstract

A biological signal measurement apparatus includes a supporter and a vital sensor. The supporter is made of a shape-memory material. The vital sensor is configured to acquire a biological signal of a user. The vital sensor is attached to the supporter.

Claims

1. A biological signal measurement apparatus, comprising:

a supporter made of a shape-memory material; and

a vital sensor configured to acquire a biological signal of a user, the vital sensor being attached to the supporter.

2. The biological signal measurement apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the supporter memorizes a shape conforming to a shape of a body of the user.

3. The biological signal measurement apparatus according to claim 2, wherein

the supporter includes a headband to be mounted on a head of the user, and

the vital sensor includes a brain wave acquiring electrode configured to abut against the head of the user and acquire a brain wave of the user.

4. The biological signal measurement apparatus according to claim 3, wherein

the headband includes

a first headband section extending from a forehead of the user to an upper portion of an occipital region of the user,

a second headband section being connected to the first headband section and extending from the upper portion of the occipital region of the user to a right mastoid region of the user orthogonally to the first headband section, and

a third headband section being connected to the first headband section and extending from the upper portion of the occipital region of the user to a left mastoid region of the user orthogonally to the first headband section.

5. The biological signal measurement apparatus according to claim 4, wherein

the first headband section, the second headband section, and the third headband section are rotatably connected by a single rotating shaft.

6. Biological signal measurement equipment, comprising

a supporter made of a shape-memory material, to which a vital sensor configured to acquire a biological signal of a user can be attached.

7. A biological signal measurement apparatus set, comprising:

a biological signal measurement apparatus including

a supporter made of a shape-memory material, and

a vital sensor configured to acquire a biological signal of a user, the vital sensor being attached to the supporter; and

a housing casing configured to house the biological signal measurement apparatus and provide the supporter with a recovery condition of the shape-memory material.
