Abstract
A method for generating a respiratory datum for a user includes generating a multimedia instruction that is timestamped via software of an electronic terminal and transmitting this multimedia instruction to the user via a transmission system; measuring the air pressure in a fluid exhalation chamber of a respiration unit for receiving the air exhaled and/or inhaled by a user; and generating a respiratory datum quantifying the respiratory performance of the user.
Core Innovation
The invention concerns a device for generating a respiratory datum for a user. The device includes a respiration unit comprising an air pressure sensor for measuring air pressure exhaled and/or inhaled by the user in a fluid exhalation chamber, and at least two tactile interfaces.
The device includes an electronic terminal comprising a calculator adapted to execute generating a timestamped multimedia instruction and transmitting it to the user via communication means. The multimedia instruction comprises a respiration instruction and a tactile interaction instruction.
In response to transmitting the multimedia instruction to the user, the device receives a measurement of air pressure measured by the air pressure sensor and generates a timestamped respiratory indicator as a function of the measured air pressure. The device detects an interaction on at least one of the tactile interfaces and generates a timestamped tactile indicator as a function of the interaction detected.
The device generates a respiratory datum quantifying the user’s respiratory performance calculated based on a first comparison between the timestamped tactile indicator and the tactile interaction instruction, and a second comparison between the timestamped respiratory indicator and the respiration instruction.
Claims Coverage
Independent claim clm-00001 specifies a respiratory training/monitoring device with five inventive features: an air pressure sensor in a fluid exhalation chamber, timestamped multimedia respiration and tactile interaction instructions, a timestamped respiratory indicator, a timestamped tactile indicator, and a respiratory datum calculated from two comparisons.
Air pressure sensor in a fluid exhalation chamber
A respiration unit comprising an air pressure sensor for measuring the air pressure exhaled and/or inhaled by the user in a fluid exhalation chamber.
Multimedia respiration and tactile interaction instructions with timestamping
An electronic terminal generating a timestamped multimedia instruction, transmitting it to the user via communication means, the multimedia instruction comprising a respiration instruction and a tactile interaction instruction.
Timestamped respiratory indicator from measured air pressure
Receiving a measurement of an air pressure measured by the air pressure sensor and generating a timestamped respiratory indicator as a function of the measured air pressure.
Timestamped tactile indicator from tactile interface interaction
Detecting an interaction on at least one of the tactile interfaces and generating a timestamped tactile indicator as a function of the interaction detected.
Respiratory datum from comparisons of timestamped indicators and instructions
Generating a respiratory datum quantifying the user’s respiratory performance based on a first comparison between the timestamped tactile indicator and the tactile interaction instruction, and a second comparison between the timestamped respiratory indicator and the respiration instruction.
The independent claim covers end-to-end generation of a respiratory datum by timestamped multimedia instruction delivery, air-pressure-based respiratory indicator generation, tactile interaction detection, and comparison of both indicators with corresponding instructions.
