"Dispositif-bracelet de structure modulaire " "Bracelet device of modular structure"
DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION
La présente invention concerne un dispositif- bracelet d'acquisition de signaux, de structure modulaire.The present invention relates to a signal acquisition wristband device, of modular structure.
On connaît déjà des dispositifs-bracelets d'acquisition de signaux. Par exemple, le brevet US-4 063 410 décrit une montre-bracelet capable de détecter la fréquence du pouls; le brevet US-4 819 860 décrit un appareil de contrôle de paramètres tels que la fréquence du pouls ou la température d'un sujet. Ils trouvent leurs applications notamment dans la télésurveillance médicale.Bracelet acquisition devices for signals are already known. For example, US Pat. No. 4,063,410 describes a wristwatch capable of detecting the frequency of the pulse; US Pat. No. 4,819,860 describes an apparatus for controlling parameters such as the pulse rate or the temperature of a subject. They find their applications in particular in medical remote monitoring.
Les brevets US-4 625 733 et US-4 681 118 décrivent des dispositifs de mesure télémétrique de paramètres tels que les battements cardiaques, qui sont traités pour être visualisés sous forme d' électrocardiogrammes . Leurs applications sont essentiellement sportives: natation, course de haies, ski, ...Patents US-4,625,733 and US-4,681,118 describe telemetric measurement devices for parameters such as heartbeats, which are processed to be viewed in the form of EKGs. Their applications are mainly sports: swimming, hurdling, skiing, ...
Par la suite, on qualifiera de signaux, des signaux d'origine naturelle ou artificielle, en particulier des signaux de nature physique, physiologique, biologique ou chimique, ou encore des signaux indicatifs d'une activité particulière, notamment une activité nerveuse ou neuromusculaire, ces signaux étant destinés à subir toutes sortes de traitements, notamment des traitement statistiques . Les dispositifs portatifs d'acquisition de signaux actuels présentent cependant l'inconvénient de consommer bien souvent beaucoup plus d'énergie électrique que ne peut normalement fournir une simple pile miniature. Leur autonomie est donc limitée, ce qui constitue un frein considérable à un développement de leur utilisation.Thereafter, signals, signals of natural or artificial origin, in particular signals of a physical, physiological, biological or chemical nature, or signals indicative of a particular activity, in particular a nervous or neuromuscular activity, will be qualified, these signals being intended to undergo all kinds of processing, in particular statistical processing. However, current portable signal acquisition devices often have the disadvantage of consuming much more electrical energy than a simple miniature battery can normally provide. Their autonomy is therefore limited, which constitutes a considerable obstacle to the development of their use.
Le but de l'invention est de proposer un dispositif- bracelet d'acquisition de signaux de structure modulaire qui permette à la fois une facilité de réapprovisionnement en énergie pour des fonctions fortement consommatrices telles que la fonction d'émission-réception sans toutefois empêcher l'utilisation de ce dispositif pour d'autres fonctions faiblement consommatrices d'énergie.The object of the invention is to propose a signal acquisition bracelet device of modular structure which allows both ease of re-supply of energy for highly consuming functions such as the transmission-reception function without, however, preventing the use of this device for other functions which consume a low amount of energy.
Ce dispositif-bracelet d'acquisition de signaux comprend:This signal acquisition wristband device includes:
- des moyens de bracelet disposables autour d'un poignet d'une personne et supportant un boîtier principal, et des moyens pour réaliser des fonctions spécifiques, notamment des moyens pour capter des signaux, des moyens pour conditionner lesdits signaux captés, des moyens de contrôle et de traitement, et des moyens pour stocker et fournir de l'énergie électrique.- bracelet means arranged around a wrist of a person and supporting a main housing, and means for performing specific functions, in particular means for receiving signals, means for conditioning said received signals, control means and processing, and means for storing and supplying electrical energy.
Suivant l'invention, il comporte en outre un module amovible pouvant être couplé au boîtier principal et contenant au moins une partie desdits moyens pour réaliser des fonctions spécifiques. Grâce à ce module amovible, il devient possible de réaliser un dispositif-bracelet de structure modulaire pouvant être utilisé pour plusieurs fonctions distincte sou couplées, telles qu'une fonction classique de chronométrie et une fonction d'acquisition de signaux. Une version préférée d'un dispositif-bracelet selon l'invention consiste à prévoir que le module amovible contienne au moins une partie des moyens de stockage et de fourniture de l'énergie électrique, ce qui peut être particulièrement avantageux lorsque le dispositif- bracelet réalise des fonctions impliquent une consommation d'énergie électrique largement supérieure à celle d'une montre.According to the invention, it further comprises a removable module that can be coupled to the main housing and containing at least part of said means for performing specific functions. Thanks to this removable module, it becomes possible to produce a bracelet device of modular structure which can be used for several distinct functions or coupled, such as a conventional chronometry function and a signal acquisition function. A preferred version of a bracelet device according to the invention consists in providing that the removable module contains at least part of the means for storing and supplying electrical energy, which can be particularly advantageous when the bracelet device realizes some functions involve a consumption of electrical energy much higher than that of a watch.
On peut ainsi envisager de doter un dispositif- bracelet d'acquisition, de fonctions à consommation d'énergie électrique élevée tels qu'une émission- réception HF, tout en offrant des possibilités accrues d'autonomie. Par ailleurs, on peut prévoir que le dispositif-bracelet selon l'invention puisse être utilisé en l'absence du module amovible à des fonctions spécifiques, notamment des fonctions d'horlogerie classiques ou bien encore à une fonction d'acquisition et de stockage local.

On peut aussi avantageusement prévoir que le dispositif-bracelet selon l'invention comprenne en outre des moyens pour afficher une information indicative de la touche actionnée, ainsi que des moyens pour valider une sélection d'une touche actionnée par le porteur. Dans une version particulièrement utile de l'invention trouvant notamment des applications dans le domaine de la mesure d'audience télévisuelle, les moyens de captage sont agencés pour capter des signaux physiologiques à la surface du poignet du porteur dudit dispositif-bracelet .In applications requiring order entry by the wearer of the wristband device according to the invention, the removable module also comprises means for entering control and / or order information.

On va maintenant décrire les séquences principales d'utilisation d'une montre-bracelet selon l'invention, en référence aux figures 6 à 9.We will now describe the main sequences of use of a wristwatch according to the invention, with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9.
Un porteur d'une montre-bracelet 1 selon l'invention initialement non pourvue d'un module amovible prélève sur un dispositif de collecte 200 doté d'un équipement de recharge, un module amovible 100 préalablement rechargé. Ce prélèvement peut être effectué en tenant le module amovible par exemple entre le pouce et l'index d'une main 60 placés en appui sur les zones de prise en main 101, 102 (Fig. 6) . Un module chargé peut être reconnaissable à un signal lumineux émis par une diode électroluminescente disposée sur la face avant du dispositif de collecte 200.A wearer of a wristwatch 1 according to the invention initially not provided with a removable module takes from a collection device 200 provided with recharging equipment, a removable module 100 previously recharged. This removal can be carried out by holding the removable module for example between the thumb and the index finger of a hand 60 placed in abutment on the grip zones 101, 102 (FIG. 6). A charged module can be recognized by a light signal emitted by a light-emitting diode disposed on the front face of the collection device 200.
Sans changement de préhension, le porteur insère ensuite le module amovible 100 sur le boîtier principal 10. Les formes complémentaires respectives du module amovible 100 et du boîtier principal 10 procurent un autoguidage de la connexion qui se conclut par un verrouillage final accompagné d'un léger clipsage (Fig. 7) . La montre-bracelet 1 selon l'invention se trouve alors en état d'assurer l'ensemble de ses fonctions d'acquisition, de conditionnement et de transmission. Dans l'application particulière de la mesure d'audience télévisuelle, le porteur est un panéliste auquel il est périodiquement demandé de répondre à des tests de cohérence. Ceci est en pratique effectué par le panéliste en sélectionnant une réponse parmi quatre par pression de l'une des quatre touches de commande 151-154 au moyen d'un doigt 63 (Fig. 8). Le choix effectué s'affiche alors sur l'écran d'affichage 6 du boîtier principal 10.Without change in grip, the wearer then inserts the removable module 100 on the main box 10. The respective complementary shapes of the removable module 100 and the main box 10 provide a self-guiding of the connection which ends with a final locking accompanied by a slight clipping (Fig. 7). The wristwatch 1 according to the invention is then in a state to perform all of its acquisition, conditioning and transmission functions. In the particular application of television audience measurement, the carrier is a panelist who is periodically asked to respond to consistency tests. This is in practice carried out by the panelist by selecting one of four responses by pressing one of the four control keys 151-154 by means of a finger 63 (Fig. 8). The choice made is then displayed on the display screen 6 of the main unit 10.
La validation du choix effectué par le porteur panéliste est réalisée par pression du bouton de validation 17 avec le pouce 61 et contre-pression de l'index 62 sur la face opposée de la montre-bracelet en appui contre le module amovible 100 (Fig. 9) . La fonction de validation s'accompagne de préférence d'un rétro-éclairage simultané de l'écran d'affichage 6.The validation of the choice made by the panelist wearer is carried out by pressing the validation button 17 with the thumb 61 and back pressure of the index 62 on the opposite face of the wristwatch bearing against the removable module 100 (Fig. 9). The validation function is preferably accompanied by a simultaneous backlighting of the display screen 6.
Lors de la séquence de validation, la visualisation de l'écran d'affichage 6 reste toujours libre même dans le cas du port de vêtements à manches longues. En effet, pour accéder au bouton latéral de validation 17, le pouce 61 remonte nécessairement la manche du vêtement.During the validation sequence, the display screen 6 is always free to display even when wearing long-sleeved clothing. Indeed, to access the lateral validation button 17, the thumb 61 necessarily goes up the sleeve of the garment.
Le module amovible 100 est de préférence placé à main droite du boîtier principal 10, ce qui le rend facilement et directement accessible, même avec des manches longues et laisse libre la vision du cadran de la montre-bracelet 1. Ce positionnement du module amovible 100 sur le côté droit du boîtier principal 10 assure une parfaite ergonomie fonctionnelle de la - montre-bracelet 1 selon l'invention.The removable module 100 is preferably placed on the right hand of the main housing 10, which makes it easily and directly accessible, even with long sleeves and leaves free the vision of the dial of the wristwatch 1. This positioning of the module removable 100 on the right side of the main housing 10 ensures perfect functional ergonomics of the - wristwatch 1 according to the invention.
La communication radio mise en oeuvre dans le module amovible de la montre-bracelet selon l'invention peut, à titre d'exemple pratique non limitatif, être de type Half-Duplex, monocanal. L'émetteur peut être un simple oscillateur modulé et un récepteur est nécessaire pour séparer les montres et éviter d'émettre si celles- ci ne sont pas dans le champ. Une puissance rayonnée deThe radio communication implemented in the removable module of the wristwatch according to the invention can, by way of non-limiting practical example, be of the half-duplex, single-channel type. The transmitter can be a simple modulated oscillator and a receiver is necessary to separate the watches and avoid transmitting if they are not in the field. A radiated power of
-30 dBm représente une puissance suffisante pour cette application. l'antenne HF 121 est intégrée dans le module amovible. La portée est d'environ 5 à 10 mètres et aucune directivité particulière n'est prévue, la montre-bracelet devant fonctionner dans toutes les positions. La bande de fréquence utilisée peut être par exemple la bande IETS 300-220/433 Mhz et on peut prévoir un débit de 9600 bauds .-30 dBm represents sufficient power for this application. the HF 121 antenna is integrated in the removable module. The range is around 5 to 10 meters and no particular directivity is provided, the wristwatch must operate in all positions. The frequency band used can be for example the IETS 300-220 / 433 Mhz band and a speed of 9600 baud can be provided.
Les montres-bracelets selon l'invention peuvent être réalisées selon différentes techniques. Dans une version prototype, elles peuvent être réalisées avec des composants encapsulés disponibles en technologie CMSThe wristwatches according to the invention can be produced using different techniques. In a prototype version, they can be made with encapsulated components available in CMS technology
(circuits montés en surface) . On peut avantageusement utiliser la technologie C.O.B (Chip On Board) et pour une fabrication en série, la technologie ASIC(circuits mounted on the surface). It is advantageous to use C.O.B technology (Chip On Board) and for mass production, ASIC technology
(Application Spécifie Integrated Circuit) . Le mode de fabrication envisagé doit en outre permettre une utilisation prenant en compte des chocs et vibrations.(Application Specifies Integrated Circuit). The manufacturing method envisaged must also allow use taking into account shocks and vibrations.
Bien sûr, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples qui viennent d'être décrits et de nombreux aménagements peuvent être apportés à ces exemples sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. Ainsi, on peut prévoir d'autres répartitions des composants de la montre-bracelet selon l'invention entre le boîtier principal et le module amovible. Par ailleurs, l'invention peut trouver des applications dans de nombreux secteurs que celui de la mesure d'audience télévisuelle qui a fait l'objet de la description, par exemple dans les secteurs de la télésurveillance médicale, du contrôle d'accès, de la sécurité, et des contrôles de pollution ou de radioactivité. On peut aussi utiliser des dispositifs- bracelets selon l'invention pour la mesure de la réaction de participants à toutes sortes d'événements ou de manifestations, notamment des conférences, des réunions politiques ou de toute nature, des représentations artistiques, par exemple des représentations cinématographiques, ou des événements de nature commerciale ou promotionnelle. Of course, the invention is not limited to the examples which have just been described and numerous modifications can be made to these examples without departing from the scope of the invention. Thus, it is possible to provide other distributions of the components of the wristwatch according to the invention between the main housing and the removable module. Furthermore, the invention can find applications in many sectors other than that of television audience measurement which has been described, for example in the sectors of medical remote monitoring, access control, security, and pollution or radioactivity controls. It is also possible to use wristwatches according to the invention for measuring the reaction of participants in all kinds of events or demonstrations, in particular conferences, political meetings or of any kind, artistic representations, for example representations cinematographic, or events of a commercial or promotional nature.
