Abstract

The present invention relates to a health-abnormal condition alarm system using a multi bio-signal comprising: a wearable device which is configured to be worn on a user'"'"'s body and senses the multi bio-signal; and a mobile communication terminal receiving a brainwave signal, a heartbeat signal, and a body temperature signal transmitted from the wearable device through a first communications network. The wearable device comprises a headset body, a plurality of electrodes, a brainwave detection unit, a heartbeat detection module, a body temperature detection unit, a headset wireless communication unit, and a headset controller. A health check application is installed in the mobile communication terminal, checks whether the user'"'"'s health is abnormal or not based on the brainwave signal, the heartbeat signal, and the body temperature signal, and transmits a health-abnormal alarm to a previously-registered external device through a second communications network when the user'"'"'s health condition is determined as abnormal. Accordingly, a health-abnormal condition alarm system using a multi bio-signal is provided which detects a brainwave, a heartbeat, and a body temperature of a user by using one wearable device, and which transmits an alarm to the outside when a health-abnormal condition of an observed person such as the old and the infirm is appeared by using the detected information, such that can more efficiently manage an emergency or a presymptom of the old and the infirm, etc.

Claims

1. A health-abnormal condition alarm system using a multi bio-signal, comprising:

a wearable device which is configured to be worn on a user'"'"'s body and senses the multi bio-signal; and

a mobile communication terminal receiving a brainwave signal, a heartbeat signal, and a body temperature signal transmitted from the wearable device through a first communications network;

wherein the wearable device comprises;

a headset body configured to be mounted on the user'"'"'s head,

a plurality of electrodes which are exposed on an outer surface of the head set body so as to be in contact with a forehead of the user when the headset body is mounted on the user'"'"'s head,

a brainwave detection unit which is embedded in the headset body and which detects the brainwave signal based on a signal detected by the plurality of electrodes,

a heartbeat detection module which extends from the headset body through a signal cable and which is configured to be mounted on the user'"'"'s ear to detect the heartbeat signal,

a body temperature detection unit which is installed at the headset body and which detects a body temperature and generates the body temperature signal,

a headset wireless communication unit which is embedded in the headset body and which carries out a wireless communication through the first communications network, and

a headset controller transmitting the brainwave signal, the heartbeat signal, and the body temperature signal to the mobile communication terminal through the headset wireless communication unit;

wherein a health check application is installed in the mobile communication terminal; and

wherein the health check application checks whether the user'"'"'s health is abnormal or not based on the brainwave signal, the heartbeat signal, and the body temperature signal transmitted from the wearable device, and transmits a health-abnormal alarm to a previously-registered external device through a second communications network when the user'"'"'s health condition is determined as abnormal.

2. The health-abnormal condition alarm system using the multi bio-signal according to claim 1, wherein the health check application transmits the health-abnormal alarm the external device when a brainwave based on the brainwave signal deviates from a predetermined reference brainwave over 20%, when a heartbeat based on the heartbeat signal deviates from a predetermined reference heartbeat over 20%, or when the body temperature based on the body temperature signal deviates from a predetermined reference body temperature over 2°

C.

3. The health-abnormal condition alarm system using the multi bio-signal according to claim 1, wherein the heartbeat detection module is configured in the form of clamps to be mounted on the user'"'"'s ear.

4. The health-abnormal condition alarm system using the multi bio-signal according to claim 1, further comprising:

a permanent magnet which is provided on one of an outer surface of the heartbeat detection module and an outer surface of the headset body; and

a magnetic substance which is provided on the other of the outer surface of the heartbeat detection module and the outer surface of the headset body and which has magnetic material or magnetizable material,

wherein the heartbeat detection module are configured to be attached to and detached from the headset body by the attachment of the permanent magnet and the magnetic substance.

5. The health-abnormal condition alarm system using the multi bio-signal according to claim 1, wherein the mobile communication terminal further comprises a health check database;

and

wherein the health check application stores the brainwave signal, the heartbeat signal and the body temperature signal on the health check database by a predetermined time interval and provides with a health condition information by a predetermined cycle based on data stored in the health check database.

6. The health-abnormal condition alarm system using the multi bio-signal according to claim 1, wherein the health check application of the mobile communication terminal provides the user with a diagnosis recommendation alarm, when it is determined as the health-abnormal condition.
