Title:
INTELLIGENT HUMAN-MACHINE INTERFACE AND METHOD WHICH CAN BE CARRIED OUT USING SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/079011
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a human-machine interface (10), which is designed to be noninvasively attached to a skin area of a human body or of an animal body, comprising: - a flexible, first magnetic layer (22) for coming into contact with a surface of the skin area, which layer contains or bears a first plurality of magnetic or magnetizable elements, the magnetic fields of which jointly form a magnetic signature at each point in time, the flexibility of the layer (22) being such that the layer (22) can at least substantially follow deformation of the surface of the skin area, and the magnetic signature measurably changing in the event of deformation of the surface of the skin area, - a sensing device (30) for measuring the magnetic signature according to deformation of the flexible layer (22), the sensing device facing the side of the flexible, first magnetic layer (22) that faces away from the skin area, - a second plurality of potential-measuring flat electrodes (28), which are arranged in or on the flexible layer (22) in order to come into direct contact with the surface of the skin area, the entirety of the measurement signals produced by the potential-measuring flat electrodes (28) at a certain point in time forming an electrical signature that changes according to the muscle activity, and - an integrated or externally located processing unit, which is designed to assign a pair consisting of a magnetic signature and an associated electrical signature to a configuration and/or to a motion and/or to an intensity thereof. The invention further relates to a method which can be carried out using a human-machine interface of this type.
