Abstract

A voice-assisted biomedical measurement apparatus is revealed. The voice-assisted biomedical measurement apparatus allows users to get measurement results of biological signals and other assistant information in aural form. The voice-assisted biomedical measurement apparatus consists of a sensing unit, a control unit, a voice module and a speaker. The voice-assisted biomedical measurement apparatus further includes a display unit, an operation unit, a memory unit and a data transmission unit. The voice-assisted biomedical measurement apparatus features on that the voice module combines at least one first voice data to form a sentence according to at least one first grammar data when a first control signal is sent from the control unit to the voice module. Moreover, the voice-assisted biomedical measurement apparatus gets at least one second voice data and at least one second grammar data from an external data system through a data transmission unit.

Claims

1. A voice-assisted biomedical measurement apparatus comprising:

a sensing unit for detecting a biological signal;

a control unit connected to the sensing unit for receiving the biological signal and generating a first control signal; and

a voice module connected to the control unit, retrieving at least one first voice data and at least one first grammar data according to the first control signal, combining the first voice data with first grammar date to form at least one sentence and driving a speaker to output the sentence.

2. The voice-assisted biomedical measurement apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the control unit is connected to a display unit;

the control unit generates a second control signal according to the biological signal;

the display unit receives the second control signal and shows a visual information.

3. The voice-assisted biomedical measurement apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the control unit is connected to an operation unit;

the operation unit sends an operation signal to the control unit and the control unit generates the first control signal according to the operation signal.

4. The voice-assisted biomedical measurement apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein the control unit is connected to an operation unit, the operation unit sends an operation signal to the control unit and the control unit generates the second control signal according to the operation signal.

5. The voice-assisted biomedical measurement apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the voice module includes a voice unit and a memory unit;

the voice unit is electrically connected to the memory unit while the memory unit is for storing the first voice data and the first grammar data.

6. The voice-assisted biomedical measurement apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein the memory unit is for storing a biological data;

the biological data is generated from the biological signal being converted by the control unit.

7. The voice-assisted biomedical measurement apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the control unit is connected to a memory unit;

the memory unit is for storing the first voice data and the first grammar data.

8. The voice-assisted biomedical measurement apparatus as claimed in claim 7, wherein the memory unit is for storing a biological data;

the biological data is generated from the biological signal being converted by the control unit.

9. The voice-assisted biomedical measurement apparatus as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a data transmission unit which is built-in or connected outside the voice-assisted biomedical measurement apparatus;

the data transmission unit is an interface for data exchange between the biomedical measurement apparatus and an external data system.

10. The voice-assisted biomedical measurement apparatus as claimed in claim 9, wherein the voice module gets at least one second voice data and at least one second grammar data from the external data system through the data transmission unit.

11. The voice-assisted biomedical measurement apparatus as claimed in claim 10, wherein the voice module includes a voice unit and a memory unit;

the voice unit is electrically connected to the memory unit while the memory unit is for storing the second voice data and the second grammar data.

12. The voice-assisted biomedical measurement as claimed in claim 10, wherein the control unit is connected to a memory unit;

the memory unit is for storing the second voice data and the second grammar data.

13. A method for a voice module of a biomedical measurement apparatus to form sentences comprising the steps of:

receiving a first control signal from a control unit by the voice module;

retrieving at least one first voice data according to the first control signal; and

combining the first voice data with at least on grammar data to form at least one sentence.
