FIELD

The present technology relates to wearable devices, systems, and methods for selectively emitting bio-resonance frequencies to induce a biological effect. More specifically, it is a wrist band for attachment to a smart watch.

BACKGROUND

Alternative medicine and health solutions have been growing in popularity for many years. One of the areas of interest is a method of frequency medicine known as bio-resonance. Clinical experiments, most famously conducted in France over many years by noted researcher Jacques Benveniste and Nobel Laureate Luc Montagnier, demonstrated that a substance's electromagnetic radiation (EMR) characteristics can be successfully recorded and transmitted digitally to another substance or material to achieve a similar biological effect. For example, US Patent No. 6541978 discloses a method, a system and a device for producing, from a substance, electric signals characteristic of the biological activity of an active element contained in the substance. The method consists of placing the substance in a zone subjected to a specific electric, magnetic and/or electromagnetic excitation field. The method further includes a step which consists in transforming the fields resulting form the interaction between the specific excitation filed and the substance, into signals, in particular electric signals, using a first transducer receiving the resulting fields. This is a method of collecting and characterizing electrical signals, and not employing resonant materials to generate bio-resonance based on the received signals.

United States Patent Application Publication No. 20090187232 discloses systems and methods to diagnose and then provide therapy and/or treating humans to relieve or reduce the symptoms of various disease and/or conditions, and in certain embodiments reduce the factors causing the symptoms and/or diseases. The present invention also relates to systems and methods for determining heretofore unknown internal characteristics of patients and external environmental factors. No specific apparatus is disclosed to achieve the proposed solution.

The use of light specifically, as electromagnetic radiation, has also been disclosed. For example, US Patent No. 6528954 discloses a smart light bulb may include a housing, an illumination source, disposed in the housing, and a processor, disposed in the housing, for controlling the illumination source. The housing may be configured to fit a conventional light fixture. The illumination source may be an LED system or other illumination source. The processor may control the intensity or the color of the illumination source. The housing may also house a transmitter and/or receiver. The smart light bulb may respond to a signal from another device or send a signal to another device. The other device may be another smart light bulb or another device. The smart light bulb may be associated with a wide variety of illumination applications and environments. This system does not provide a bio-resonance treatment, but rather an artificial treatment.

United States Patent Application Publication No. 20140128941 discloses a phototherapy or photobiomodulation process employing the application of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) to a living organism, typically a human being. The EMR is generated by one or more strings of LEDs and is programmed to emit one or more wavelengths, typically in the visible and infrared portions of the spectrum, the EMR in each wavelength being delivered in pulses having specified on-times, off-times, photoexcitation frequencies, duty factors, phase delays, and power amplitudes. A system for providing such EMR includes a microcontroller having a pattern library of algorithms, each of which defines a particular sequence of synthesized pulses, and an application pad, preferably flexible, containing the LED strings. This system does not provide a bio-resonance treatment, but rather an artificial treatment.

United States Patent Application Publication No. 20170007847 discloses a phototherapy or BRT process and apparatus, which, using a pre-recorded bio-resonance frequency or compilation of frequencies, causes an EMR emitter to emit within a biological window of a target organism to positively or negatively affect the organism. The EMR may be generated in one or more LEDs by a device connected to a controller of the EMR emitter which device provides the pre-recorded bio-resonance frequency or compilation of frequencies to control the LEDs' emitted light in terms of its intensity and/or a frequency or flicker-rate.

A combination of photo-biomodulation and Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) has also been employed.

What is needed is a bio-resonance therapy device that is a wearable article. It would be preferable if the device was a wrist band that could replace the wrist band of a smart watch, a watch, a fitness tracker and the like. It would also be preferable if it was a clip that could be attached and detached from articles including a wrist band or clothing. It would also be preferable if it was a patch that could be attached and preferably detached from an article of clothing. It would be also preferable if the device could be a pet collar or harness, replacing the normal collar or harness.

In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present technology. It will be evident, however, to one skilled in the art that the present technology may be practiced without these specific details.

The present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the technology and is not intended to limit the technology to the specific embodiments illustrated by the figures or description below.

The present technology will now be described by referencing the appended figures representing preferred embodiments.

Figure 1 depicts an exploded perspective view of the bio-resonance device, generally referred to as 10, in a wrist-wearable format according to various embodiments of the present technology. In this preferred embodiment, the elements are contained within a wrist band 12 or strap which may or may not also include fastener attachments 14 for use with any watch 16 or other wrist wearable device. In this configuration, it is able to be used with any watch, fitness tracker, or other wrist wearable device with compatible mounting points. The fastener 22 allows the wrist band 12 or strap to be attached to the watch 16 or other wrist wearable device, replacing the watch’s watch strap or the strap of another wrist wearable device. The upper outer layer 18 and the lower outer layer 20 of the bio-resonance device 10 may consist of, but is not limited to, silicone rubber, polyurethane, polyvinylchloride, or other flexible plastic polymers and other similar materials able to be fashioned into a wristband form that do not block EMR, in other words, EMR compliant material. There is a small bio-resonance module 24.

As shown in Figure 2A, embedded between the upper outer layer 18 and the lower outer layer 20 is the bio-resonance module 24. As shown in Figure 2B, the bio-resonance module 24 includes a flexible integrated circuit 28 that includes a microcontroller 30, a resistor 32, and a wireless power source 34 such as a wireless radio or receiver, including but not limited to a Near-field communication (NFC) electromagnetic coil, a Bluetooth® radio and a WiFi receiver. The microcontroller 30 includes or is electronic communication with an emitter 36. The microcontroller 30 is programmable. In one embodiment the emitter 36 is a copper wire or copper pad 38 which contacts the upper layer 18 or lower layer 20. In another embodiment the emitter 36 is at least one light emitting diode 40. In yet another embodiment the emitter 36 is an emitter electromagnetic coil 42 which is etched on the microcontroller board 44.

As shown in Figure 2C, in an alternative embodiment, which can be used with any of the emitters 36, a direct power source 50 which may be a capacitor or a battery, is employed instead of the wireless power source 34.

As shown in Figure 3, the bio-resonance device 10 is part of a bio-resonance system, generally referred to as 100. The system 100 includes a capture chamber 102 in which herbs, herbal supplements or nutritional supplements, generically referred to a natural source material 104, are placed. The capture chamber 102 records EMR patterns consisting of one or more frequencies emanated from the natural source material 104 which are stored in a EMR database 106 in a computing device 108. An electronic device 110, for example, but not limited to, a smartphone, tablet or smartwatch is in electronic communication with the computing device 108, which in turn, is in electronic communication with the bio-resonance device 10.

In use, herbs, herbal supplements or nutritional supplements are placed within a controlled environment and electromagnetic emanations are recorded. The electromagnetic emanations are stored in a database. Access to the database is by subscription. A user is provided with a treatment protocol which may be one or more control signals. The control signals are sent to an application on the user’s electronic device, for example, but not limited to a smartphone, tablet or smartwatch. The wireless radio 32 or transceiver enables the transmission of the control signal from the application running on electronic device. The wireless radio 32 communicates the signal to the microcontroller 30, which analyzes the control signal, determines a treatment protocol and controls one or more of the emitter electromagnetic coil 42, the light emitting diode 40 and the copper wire or pad 38. The charger electromagnetic coils 34 functions to receive energy from an external source which may include, but is not limited to, a smartphone, tablet, smartwatch, wireless charger, or another similar device. This energy is received wirelessly, with means including, but not limited to, Near-Field Communication (NFC) wireless power transfer. By using wireless power transfer to only energize the integrated circuit 28 momentarily for the purpose of applying the appropriate EMR frequency, the bio-resonance device 10 is not limited by power storage devices and may operate for extended periods of time once imprinted.

In other embodiments, the device may receive one or more bio-resonance signals directly from a transmission source which may include but is not limited to, a smartphone, tablet, smartwatch, or another similar device. The user will select the desired BRT frequency program via an application on a smartphone, tablet, smartwatch, or another similar device held nearby, and that selection will be transmitted to the device wirelessly. At such time, the integrated circuitry will apply the corresponding output waveform to the device material for the required duration and then send a confirmation signal back to the control application. In other embodiments, the waveforms may be stored digitally within the electronics in the device and merely a selection signal is sent rather than the waveform data itself.

The applied BRT frequency remains imprinted onto the device material until the user wishes to repeat the process to apply a different frequency.
