Smart mask with sensors {Smart Mask with sensors}

The present invention relates to a smart mask equipped with a sensor, and relates to a smart mask equipped with a sensor capable of detecting both atmospheric conditions such as the concentration of fine dust and skin conditions of a user.

Yellow dust flying in the spring and fine dust including pollutants flying out of season are a great burden on public health and public health. Masks are becoming a daily commodity, and with the expansion of their use to prepare for the recent corona virus infection, masks are becoming a daily necessity.

Patent Publication No. 10-2020-0032827 discloses a disposable mask that prevents harmful substances contained in the air from being inhaled into the human body through the respiratory system when external air is inhaled. A smart mask that can provide coolness and comfort even while wearing a mask by discharging carbon dioxide and breath contained in exhaled breath to the outside.

On the other hand, most of the masks used recently are faithful to the function of protecting the mouth and nose from the outside air, and simply stop at the function of blocking external dust, contaminants and viruses. That is, there is a need for a mask having more active functions, such as detecting a state of external air and a state of a user, by taking a step forward from the basic function of the mask.

The communication unit 110 may be mounted on the smart mask 100 to communicate with the outside. In addition to receiving fine dust data from the outside, fine dust data, carbon dioxide data, UV data, and humidity data stored in time slot units may be provided to the outside. Here, the outside may include a user wearing a smart mask.

The data collection unit 120 may collect fine dust data from the communication unit 110, and the carbon dioxide data, UV data, and humidity from the carbon dioxide sensor, UV sensor, and humidity sensor attached to the smart mask 100. It may be that data is provided and collected.

Meanwhile, in the data collection unit 120, the carbon dioxide sensor and the ultraviolet sensor may be attached to the outer surface of the smart mask 100, and the humidity sensor may be attached to the inner surface of the smart mask 100. Referring to FIG. 2, the sensors attached to the outer surface of the smart mask 100 may be the carbon dioxide sensor and the ultraviolet sensor, and the communication unit 110, the data storage unit 130 and the data analysis unit ( 140) may likewise be attached as shown in FIG.

The carbon dioxide sensor and the ultraviolet sensor may measure the carbon dioxide concentration and ultraviolet light of the environment near the user wearing the smart mask in a state attached to the outer surface of the smart mask 100, and the humidity sensor may be the smart mask ( 100), humidity may be measured in a space between the user wearing the smart mask and the mask.

The data storage unit 130 may store data collected from the data collection unit 120 in units of time slots. Also, in the data storage unit 130, timeslots may be divided into preset time units.

For example, the timeslot may be set in units of 15 minutes, and the timeslot may be set in units of 1 hour. If the timeslot is set in 15-minute increments, the fine dust data, carbon dioxide data, UV data, and humidity data may be collected in 15-minute increments and stored together with a 15-minute time stamp, and the timeslot is 1 hour. When set in units, the fine dust data, carbon dioxide data, UV data, and humidity data may be collected in units of one hour, and a time stamp in units of one hour may be stored together.

If the user of the smart mask is located in a relatively stable and less-changing atmospheric environment, there will be less rapid environmental changes, so the amount of data processing can be minimized by setting the time slot in units of 1 hour, thereby reducing battery consumption. will be able to minimize

Conversely, if the user of the smart mask is located in an unstable and variable atmospheric environment, a lot of rapid environmental changes may occur, so by setting the timeslot in 15 minute units and measuring at a faster cycle, the rapid environment You will be able to respond more proactively to change.

Meanwhile, the data storage unit 130 may compare the collected data with the collected data of the previous timeslot and, if there is no change, store a code meaning no change instead of the collected data.

을 저장하는 것보다, 동일하다는 의미의 짧은 약속된 코드를 저장하는 것이 저장 공간의 활용성 및 배터리의 사용량을 최소화하는 것에 유리할 것이기 때문이다.For CO2 data, the CO2 concentration at the previous timeslot is 100

, and the carbon dioxide concentration at the current timeslot is also 100

100 if

This is because it is more advantageous to minimize the utilization of storage space and battery usage to store a short promised code that means the same than to store .

On the other hand, by expanding the range of the same data a little more, it is possible to store a short promised code meaning that it is the same even when the data of the previous timeslot and the data of the current timeslot show a change of less than 0.1%.

The data analysis unit 140 may provide data stored in the data storage unit 130 to the outside through the communication unit 110 . Since the user wearing the smart mask will also be included outside, it will be possible to provide the user with data on the environment where the user is currently located and at the same time provide the user's humidity status.
