CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This non-provisional application claims priority under 35
U.S.C. .sctn.119(a) on Patent Application No(s). 102223801 filed in
Taiwan, R.O.C. on Dec. 17, 2013, the entire contents of which are
hereby incorporated by reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] 1. Field of the Invention
[0003] The present invention relates to a physiological and
physical movement detection apparatus capable of detecting various
physiological signals of a human body and various parameters of an
exercise environment by an electric conduction method, compiling
and storing the physiological signals and parameters, and
displaying the detected values for users through a wireless
transmission method.
[0004] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0005] At present, people train their body and improve their
physical strength through different types of exercises and also
monitor the numeric values during exercises to adjust the exercise
strength and plan a complete training program, so that a variety of
physiological signal detecting apparatuses are developed to meet
different user requirements for the exercises.
[0006] In general, a conventional physiological detecting apparatus
for exercises senses a heart rate by a heartbeat detecting unit
which is worn on a human body, and transmits the detection result
to a receiver tied at a human wrist by a wireless transmission
method, so that users can read the detection result during their
exercises. However, most receivers are in form of a watch worn at
the wrist, so that the display area is limited and unable to
display sufficient information, and such display simply shows the
heart rate sensed by the heartbeat detecting unit, but fails to set
other setting for the heartbeat detecting unit. The simple function
of receiving information is insufficient to meet the user
requirements. Therefore, people expect to use the physiological
values of a human body as a basis for arranging their exercise
program. The only information of the heart rate measurement for
each time of exercise is incomplete, since other physiological
values including electrocardiogram (ECG) or electromyography (EMG)
are also important information used for evaluating the physical and
health conditions of the users.
[0007] Besides displaying insufficient information, the
conventional receiver needs to be connected to the heartbeat
detecting unit via a wireless transmission all the time so that the
users can read the detection result. Once the online connection is
interfered or disconnected, the detection result will be lost and
cannot be recovered even after reconnection. Therefore, the
receiver just display the real-time detected status, and all
information will be lost at an offline situation. Obviously, such
application is ineffective and inconvenient.
[0008] In view of the aforementioned drawbacks of the conventional
physiological sensing apparatus, the inventor of the present
invention designed and developed a physiological and physical
movement detection apparatus to overcome the aforementioned
drawbacks of the prior art.

data are read and timely provided for users' viewing, so as to

users can plan for a long-term exercise program and detect their
health condition.

positioning module 104 is used for detecting the user's position.
The aforementioned components transmit the detected results to the
micro-processor 105, and the wireless transmission module 106
transmits the data to the remote device 2.
[0026] The physiological and physical movement detection apparatus
1 is characterized in that the sensing module 101 is electrically
coupled to the physiological signal sensor 102, and an electric
conduction method is used for collecting a heart rate, an
electrocardiogram (ECG) and an electromyography (EMG) of a human
body, and the physiological signal sensor 102 is electrically
coupled to the sensing module 101 for receiving the aforementioned
physiological values to generate a physiological value signal, and
the movement sensing module 103 and the positioning module 104 are
used for the detection to generate a movement signal and a
positioning signal so as to obtain the user's current motion or
exercise condition. The user current positioning information, the
physiological value signal, the movement signal and the positioning

onto the user's chest and includes a pair of conductive electrode
plates 111 and a pair of conductive fasteners 112. Preferably, the
pair of conductive fasteners 112 are installed at both ends of the
fixing element 11 respectively and communicated with the pair of
conductive electrode plates 111. Preferably, the pair of conductive
fasteners 112 are through holes and have a first end 1121 and a
second end 1122, and the first end 1121 is greater than the second
end 1122, but the present invention is not limited to such
arrangement only. The sensor 10 includes a pair of electrode
contacts 12 corresponding to the sensing module 101, such that
after the fixing element 11 is surrounded and fixed to the user's
chest, the pair of electrode contacts 12 may be latched from the
first end 1121 and moved to the second end 1122 to define a latched
status for fixing the fixing element 11 with the sensor 10 to
conduct subsequent detection.
[0032] With reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 for schematic views of
applications of the present invention in a user's exercise, the
user ties the fixing element 11 to the chest to obtain the best
physiological sensing environment, and the pair of conductive
electrode plates 111 are contacted with the user's body and
communicated with the pair of conductive fasteners 112 and the pair
of electrode contacts 12. The electric conduction method detects
the physiological condition of the human body, and the detected
physiological condition is transmitted to the sensor 10 and
integrated and stored by the physiological and physical movement
detection apparatus 1. As described in the first preferred
embodiment, the physiological and physical movement detection
apparatus 1 senses and compiles the environment parameters
including the user's exercise status, and position into the
micro-processor 105 of the physiological and physical movement
detection apparatus 1. When the remote device 2 is not situated
around the user, the aforementioned information are integrated into
the display data, and the display data are stored in the sensor 10
and prepared for the user to read the display data through the
remote device 2. If the user brings the remote device 2 with
her/him while doing exercise, and the sensor 10 is set to online
status, the user may operate the remote device 2 and read the
display data via a wireless transmission method, so that the user
knows her/his physiological condition and other environment
information anytime.
[0033] Wherein, the sensor 10 includes a power supply element 13
for driving the physiological and physical movement detection
apparatus 1, wherein the power supply element 13 may be a
disposable battery or a rechargeable battery. In this preferred
embodiment, the power supply element 13 is a rechargeable battery.
The present invention further comprises a charging cradle 14, and
the charging cradle 14 includes a pair of charging slots 141
corresponding to the pair of electrode contacts 12 for conducting
the pair of electrode contacts 12 to perform charging. During use,
the pair of electrode contacts 12 of the sensor 10 is plugged into
the pair of charging slots 141 respectively.
[0034] In FIG. 6, the charging cradle 14 is a sensing charging
cradle, and the sensor 10 is placed near the charging cradle 14 or
directly onto the charging cradle 14 for performing the charging
without requiring the step of plugging the pair of electrode
contacts 12 into the charging slot 141. Therefore, the present
invention provides a convenient charging method.
[0035] The physiological and physical movement detection apparatus
1 of the present invention not just timely detects the user
physiological conditions including a heart rate, an ECG status and
an EMG status by the electric conduction method, but also detects
non-physiological signals by the positioning module 104 and the
movement sensing module 103, so that users can control information
of the exercising site or exercise status to plan for an exercise
program effectively by integrating the information and know about
their own physiological conditions. Regardless of an athletic, a
sub-health group or a rehabilitation groups, users can obtain
complete integrated information. Compared with the conventional
physiological detecting apparatus, the present invention stores the
detected and computed display data in the storage unit 1052 first,
so that the users can read the display data through the remote
device 2, even if a receiving end does not exist, or the remote
device 2 is offline. The users need not to maintain the
physiological and physical movement detection apparatus 1 to be
connected online with the remote device 2 all the time in order to
maintain the related data at an offline status. Obviously, the
