Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[Technical field of the invention] The present invention relates to a meridian-organ function information processing device,
In particular, the present invention relates to a meridian-organ function information processing device for diagnosing the functional status of meridians-organs and the balance state of autonomic nerves in a living body. [Prior art and its problems] Oriental medicine, especially acupuncture, uses "meridians" throughout the body.
We have learned from clinical experience that there is a system known as a stimulus-sensing system (which can be recognized as a stimulus-sensing system or a reaction system), and we have confirmed that there is a close relationship with the organ tissues in which these meridians are located and the autonomic nerves that control them. By finding an abnormal state of a point (acupuncture point, commonly called acupuncture point), it is possible to diagnose the presence or absence of a disease in each organ tissue associated with that reaction point, or to use needles, Treatments that adjust abnormal conditions are performed by applying physical stimulation using heat, electricity, etc. Finding a reaction point in an abnormal state from among a large number of reaction points is determined by the sense of the examiner's fingertips and the patient's perception, but this requires the examiner's many years of experience and skill. I need. Therefore, machines have been created that electrically detect acupuncture points and make diagnoses without the need for experience or skill, by taking advantage of the fact that electrical resistance abnormalities are noticeable in the skin at reaction points (acupoints). Conventionally, such a device was manufactured by Japanese Patent Publication No. 52-4878.
There is a device for diagnosing internal organs and autonomic nerve function. However, since the functional parameters of the living body detected by this device are only static impedances in response to electrical signals applied through the wells of the living body, sufficient biological information cannot necessarily be obtained from the functional parameters. In addition, diagnostic parameters obtained by calculating and analyzing functional parameters do not have sufficient meaning, so it is difficult to use them even if you try to make a diagnosis based on some conditions, and it is still difficult to use them to make an accurate diagnosis. It required experience and skill. Furthermore, it was not possible to obtain information on what kind of treatment should be performed. [Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, and its purpose is to accurately detect the abnormal state of an organ, even if it is not an expert. It is an object of the present invention to provide a meridian-organ function information processing device that can determine appropriate treatment points according to the condition. [Summary of the Invention] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the meridian-organ function information processing device of the present invention provides electrical pulse signals sequentially applied through the acupuncture points of the left and right limbs of a living body to generate electric pulse signals that are applied to each body before the body is polarized. A meridian that satisfies (current value of yin meridian) < (current value of yang meridian) among meridians that have a yin and yang relationship with respect to the measuring means that measures the flowing current value and the left and right sides of the signal measured by the measuring means, respectively. The outline of the system is to include a detection means for detecting. In addition, in order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the meridian-organ function information processing device of the present invention further provides an electric current that flows before the living body is polarized by an electric pulse signal sequentially applied through the acupuncture points of the left and right limbs of the living body. Among the measuring means for measuring the value and the signal measured by the measuring means, the actual meridian in which the average value of the left and right sides of the same meridian belongs to the approximately maximum range, and the meridian that has a yin and yang relationship on the left and right sides, respectively ( a detection means for detecting a meridian that satisfies (Yin meridian current value) < (Yang meridian current value), and the detection means is on the left or right side (Yin meridian current value) < (Yang meridian current value); The outline of the present invention is to include a treatment point information output means for outputting the original hole of the detected actual meridian as treatment point information upon detecting a meridian that satisfies the following. [First Embodiment] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. <Definition of Terms> Before describing the examples, terms used in this specification will be defined here. These terms are basic terms commonly used in the field of acupuncture. "Meridian" is a path showing the flow of Qi energy from "senketsu" which are specific points (hereinafter referred to as acupuncture points) on the fingers and toes shown in Figure 3a and b. There are several acupuncture points "on the meridians", which are collectively referred to as "acupuncture points" in this specification. “Meridians” include “true sutra”
There are 8 sutras, 12 sutras and "odd sutras," but in this example, the 12 sutras of the normal sutra are the subject of measurement, and these 12 sutras are divided into 3 sets of two corresponding to each other as shown below. It is divided into yin and yang meridians, and this is called the “three yin and three yang relationship.”
That's what it means. In addition, the corresponding Yin and Yang meridians form a pair, and this is called the ``Yin-Yang relationship.'' The "holes" of each of these "meridians" are shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b, but in this embodiment, the signals of the 2-way meridian of the hand and the 8-way meridian of the foot are not used.

[Table] In addition to the above-mentioned “Iana”, there are other important “acupuncture points” such as “Genketsu”, “Boketsu”,
"Yuketsu" and the like are located on each meridian, and are called, for example, as shown in Table 1 below.

【table】

[Table] In general, "Iana" is the tip of the fingers and toes as shown in Figure 3 a and b, "Haraana" is the middle of the limb as shown in Figure 16, and "Iana" is the chest and belly, " The ``holes'' are concentrated on the back. In this example, these acupuncture points are the first
It is stored as a table as shown in Figure 5. Next, the "mutual relationship" and "mutual relationship" used to determine the stimulation treatment point will be explained. This is shown in the theory of five elements. The five elements mean that all substances are wood, fire, earth,
These substances, which belong to the five properties of metal and water, circulate through repeated creation and destruction of each other, and it is an abstract concept that there is a repetition of changes in substances in an infinite and constant flow. If the above-mentioned yin-yang theory is a hypothesis indicating a shift in the amount of energy, then
The Five Element Theory can also be interpreted as a hypothesis indicating a shift in the quality of energy. The five elements have a relationship of ``life'' and ``koku'' with each other.
Mutual life is similar to the relationship between a mother and child, and is a cycle of generation and development; mutual conflict is similar to the relationship between husband and wife, where they mutually constrain each other, and when the power of one becomes stronger, the other always weakens. Table 2 shows the mutual benefit and conflict of the five elements.

[Table] By combining the mutually beneficial and mutually antagonistic relationships in Table 2 with the affiliation of each meridian to the five elements in Table 1, the mutually beneficial and mutually antagonistic relationships between the meridians as shown in Table 3 become clear. still,
Table 3 shows only Yin meridians.

[Table] Also, the imaginary in "Imaginary Meridian" refers to a state where the meridian function is weakened and weak, and Qi energy does not flow sufficiently. On the other hand, the fruit of "actual meridian" means fulfillment, but it does not mean that it is simply full, but rather that the meridian function is more active than normal and Qi energy is flowing more than normal, or that it is depressed. A state of stagnation. Both are undesirable health conditions. In this embodiment, the three highest measured current values are defined as "real meridians" and the three lowest measured current values are defined as "imaginary meridians." This concludes the definition of terms used in this specification, and begins the description of embodiments. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a meridian-organ function information processing apparatus according to a first embodiment.

Or a central processor housed on the same board together with RAM, RAM that temporarily stores data necessary for the diagnostic process, and peripheral IO circuits for inputting and outputting various processing data between external connection devices. The information processing device 2 includes a processing unit (CPU), and among the blocks of the information processing device 2, functional blocks of the CPU that are realized by executing the various processing programs described above are shown. To briefly explain these functional blocks, 6 is the functional parameter input from measuring device 1.
It is a buffer means that can temporarily store BP~IQ, and if necessary, θ.The function parameters BP~IQ etc. stored in the buffer means 6 are normally processed immediately, but later when multiple people are batched. It is also possible to save the data to the external storage device 3 via the line 101 for processing purposes. 7 calculates and calculates the functional parameters BP to IQ read out from the buffer means 6.

It is also a data editing means that edits appropriate stimulation treatment point information TJ and the like into a predetermined format and outputs them to the data output device 4 or external storage device 3. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the usage state of the measuring device 1. When measuring functional parameters such as BP~IQ, first attach two (-) side electrodes to both wrists,
Next, attach 28 multi-point (+) side electrodes to the 28 wells at the ends of both hands and toes. For reference, 14 holes at the tips of the fingers and toes are shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b. Including the left and right sides, there are a total of 28 wells. The reason for attaching the (-) side electrodes to both wrists is to balance the electrical resistance path of the living body from each (+) side electrode to the (-) side electrode, thereby eliminating measurement errors based on the electrode attachment position. It is. After the electrodes are attached in this way, a positive pulse voltage (3V) is sequentially applied to each (+) side electrode in an electronic scanning manner using an electrode box, and the dynamics of the current flowing through each hole in the living body is measured. Measure changes. FIGS. 4a and 4b are diagrams for explaining the principles of measurement and calculation of functional parameters BP to IQ, etc. When a direct current voltage of 3V is applied locally to the skin at time t ₀ as shown in Figure 4a, the body's defense and homeostatic functions work to cancel out the electrical stimulation, resulting in the effect shown in Figure 4b. In this way, a phenomenon is observed in which an instantaneous current flows at time t ₁ and then settles to a constant value around 200 μsec. In this example, this rising current value is called the pre-polarization current BP (before polarization).
The current after polarization AP that shows a constant value after polarization
(after polarization), and the shaded area is the total polarization charge IQ (integrated polarization).
charge), and the speed of polarization is called polarization speed TC
(time constant), and the angle between the current axis and line T in the figure is called the polarization angle θ. These functional parameters BP to IQ, etc. have the following properties. 70% of BP (pre-polarization current) flows through the dermis and is determined by the specific resistance of the living skin tissue, including the epidermis and dermis. This is a parameter that indicates the functional status of meridians. In summer, there is a lot of water in the body and the BP value is high, and in winter, there is little water and the BP value is low. Healthy people with good body fluid flow have high BP values, while elderly, seriously ill, and frail people have poor body fluid flow and low BP values. 〓IQ (total amount of polarized charge〓) Indicates the total amount of charge that moves due to polarization.It is thought to indicate the homeostatic function of the body (metabolism, biological defense function).In terminal stage cancer patients and people nearing death,
It is known that the IQ value is extremely low, and it is observed to be higher than normal when there is inflammation. 〓AP (post-polarization current)〓 Mainly flows through the epidermis. Even after the polarization ends, the ion permeability of the barrier film is still high, so ions are formed by flowing freely. The AP value corresponds to the skin resistance level measured as a neural response (GSR) and is thought to reflect autonomic nervous function.
A high AP value indicates a sympathetic nervous function excitation type, and a low AP value indicates a parasympathetic nervous function excitation type. 〓TC (Polarization Speed)〓 Indicates the speed of polarization. 〓θ (Polarization Angle)〓 The speed of polarization is expressed as an angle. In FIG. 4a, the measuring device 1 captures the dynamically changing current with the current detecting means A, and A/D converts the detected current value at a predetermined sampling period (for example, 1 μsec). Therefore this A/D
The series of converted current value IDs includes dynamic functional information related to meridian-organ functions. The measuring device 1 further calculates the above five functional parameters based on this current value ID. The pre-polarization current BP is the peak value of the current at or near time _{t 0} . Note that the reason for setting the time around time t ₀ is, for example, the first two
This means excluding data points as they are prone to machine errors and performing theoretical calculations from the following three data points. Therefore, in the embodiment, for example, the time of three data points is set to t ₀ '.
The post-polarization current AP shows a constant value after polarization, but is, for example, an average value. The total polarization charge IQ is at time t ₀
Alternatively, it is the time-integrated result of subtracting the value of the post-polarization current AP from the current value of each data point starting from time t ₀ ' until the current waveform stabilizes (around 200 μsec), for example, as shown in Fig. 4. This corresponds to the area indicated by diagonal lines in b. Since data around time t ₀ greatly contributes to the integration, it may not be possible to ignore it uniformly. Therefore, the operator can make a judgment and select one of them. The polarization speed TC is the time until AP is reached, and is the time from time t ₀ or time t ₀ ' to the point of ID of the first data whose data IDs have the same value a predetermined number of times. Alternatively, if it is simply determined, it is the time from time t ₀ or time t ₀ ' to the point where the tangent T of the current waveform at time t ₀ ' intersects the time axis. This can be selected for the same reason as above. The polarization angle θ is the tangent line T to the current axis in the figure.
It is the angle formed by In this way, the numerical data sent from the measurement device 1 to the information processing device 2 consists of the following four values: the current value before polarization BP, the current value after polarization AP, the polarization speed TC, and the total polarization charge IQ measured and calculated at the tip of the limb 28. These are the functional parameters or five functional parameters including the polarization angle θ. Line 100 in FIG. 1 indicates a data connection line between measuring device 1 and information processing device 2. Line 100 in FIG. Various methods are possible for this data connection method.
For example, when the measuring device 1 and the information processing device 2 are used in direct connection, a simple direct connection interface is used. For example, by directly connecting a small measuring unit 1' with a single-point electrode to an information processing unit 2' configured on one chip, a portable device that can be operated by the subject himself, like a general blood pressure monitor, can be created. Configurable. In addition, when connecting multiple measuring devices 1 and information processing devices 2 online, for example,
GP-IB (IEEE-488) interface or
Consists of RS232C interface. In this way, the functional parameters BP to IQ, etc. of multiple subjects sent from remote locations can be collected online, and the diagnosis results can be diagnosed in real time and returned immediately, or they can be stored temporarily in the external storage device 3 and then stored later. It is also possible to perform batch processing. Furthermore, the line 100 may be a simple wireless communication system used in hospitals. Further, although the processing program of this embodiment is stored in the ROM, the present invention is not limited to this. The processing program PD and necessary dictionary information may be loaded via line 102 from an external storage device. ...Calculation of systemic diagnostic parameters... Figure 5 shows the subject's systemic diagnostic parameters AD
This is a flowchart showing calculation and analysis processing.
In order to diagnose a subject's systemic function, it is effective to compare it with reference values obtained for a large number of healthy people. However, since the measurement data for functional parameters BP to IQ, etc. is for 4 x 28 wells, effective comparison cannot be made as is. Therefore, we first find a systemic diagnostic parameter AD that is useful for comparison. These are the average value (AVE) of functional parameters BP to IQ, each normalized standard deviation (SD), and the ratio of each limb (F/T).
, the left and right ratios (L/R), the normalized functional parameters L% and R% of the left and right meridians, and the normalized value D% of each left and right difference. In FIG. 5, parameter analysis/diagnosis means 7
In step S51, the functional parameters of the 28 meridians are determined.
The respective average values BP _A to IQ _A of BP to IQ, etc. are determined by, for example, BP _A = 1/28 x Σi = ²⁸ ₁ BP _i , and the results are stored in the output area. In step S52, each normalized drift deviation BP _SD ~IQ _SD is obtained in the same way, for example, by BP _SD = 1/BP _A・√128×= ²⁸ ₁ ( _i − _A ) ² , and the results are stored in the output area. . In step S53, the ratio of each limb is determined in the same way.
BP _FT to IQ _FT is determined by, for example, BP _FT = hand average value BP _AF / foot average value BP _AT , and the result is stored in the output area. Here, the average value BP _AF of the hand is determined from the parameters BP _i of the 14 meridians of the left and right hands by BP _AF = 1/14 x Σi = ¹⁴ ₁ BP _i . The same applies to the bar average value BP _AT . In step S54, the left and right ratios are similarly determined.
BP _LR to IQ _LR are determined by, for example, BP _LR = left average value BP _AL / right average value B _AR , and the results are stored in the output area. Here, the left average value BP _AL is calculated from the parameters BP _i of the 14 meridians of the left hand and foot by BP _AL = 1/14 x Σi = ¹⁴ ₁ BP _i . The same applies to the right average value BP _AR . In step S55, the measured functional parameters
For BP to IQ, etc., normalized functional parameters L% and R% of each left and right meridian are calculated. Now, L _i
When and R _i are the left and right measured values of the parameter BP, etc., the left normalized value L% is obtained by L%=L _i /x _LR . Further, the normalized value R% on the right is obtained by R%=R _i /X _LR . Here, X _LR is the average value of the left and right sums, and is determined by X _LR = 1/28 x Σi = ¹⁴ ₁ (L _i +R _i ). In step S56, the functional parameters BP~IQ
For each normalized L% and R%, numbers are assigned in descending order of numerical value and stored in the output area of the determined L% and R%. In step S57, the normalized value D% of the difference between the left and right sides is similarly determined as D%=|L _i −R _i |/ _DA . Here, D _A is the average value of the left-right difference, and is determined by D _A =1/14×Σi= ¹⁴ ₁ |L _i −R _i |. Note that numerical values obtained in the middle of the above-mentioned arithmetic processing, such as the left-right difference Di=|L _i -R _i |, are stored in a predetermined area for use in later diagnostic processing. ...Diagnosis of systemic function...Next, the parameter analysis/diagnosis means 7 compares the above-determined systemic diagnostic parameters AVE~D% with a common standard value NS (normal standard) prepared in advance. Diagnose physical function. For this purpose, the reference value table storage means 8
Common reference value created based on 4 functional parameters BP~IQ etc. measured in advance on a large number (N) of healthy people
Memorizes NS for each month. Since functional parameters have seasonal variations, we decided to store them for each month. The relationship between the subject's systemic diagnostic parameter AD and its common reference value NS is as follows. 〓Average value AVE (average)〓 For each average value BP _A ~ IQ _A , BP _A
is a parameter that mainly determines the meridian function of the entire body and the normality/abnormality of qi energy, AP _A is a parameter that determines the normality/abnormality of autonomic nervous function, and IQ _A is a parameter that determines the body's homeostatic function, metabolism, external attack ( This is a parameter that determines whether the defense function against bacteria, viruses, etc. is normal or abnormal. Its common standard value
NS can be found as follows. For N healthy subjects, average values BP _A to IQ _A of BP to IQ, etc. are determined for each month of one year, for example, BP _A = 1/N x Σj = ^N ₁ BP _j . Here, BP _j is 24 for one person.
(or 28) is the average value of BP of the meridian. Next, the average deviation for each average value BP _A ~ IQ _A
BP _D to IQ _D are determined by, for example, BP _D =1/N×Σj ^N ₁ |BP _j −BP _A |. Next, the value obtained by subtracting the average deviation BP _D from the calculated average value BP _A is set as the lower limit of the normal range NS, and the value obtained by adding the average deviation BP _D to the average value BP _A is set as the normal range.
Defined as the upper limit of NS. Therefore, the range NS between this upper and lower limit is
It is a normal range with a certain spread, and the average value BP _A (average value of 28 meridians) obtained by measuring one subject later is an abnormal range of BP _A < NS, a normal range included in NS, It is evaluated by dividing into three classes with an abnormal range of BP _A > NS. 〓Normalized standard deviation SD (Standard Deviation)〓 This is a parameter that measures the degree of stability, deflection, excitement, and relaxation of meridian function, homeostatic function, and autonomic nervous function throughout the body. The common reference value NS is obtained using the same idea as above. 〓Fingers/Toes Ratio〓 This is a parameter that measures the balance/imbalance between the upper and lower body, such as meridian function, homeostatic function, and autonomic nerve function. Left/Right Ratio L/R (Left/ _Right ) This is a parameter that measures the balance/imbalance between the left and right sides of the meridian function, homeostatic function (metabolic function), and autonomic nervous function. Normalized Functional Parameters L% and R% In particular, L% and R% of the functional parameters BP have a deep correlation with meridian function and are useful for discovering abnormal meridians. It is also extremely important as an intra-individual diagnostic parameter, which will be described later. 〓Normalized value D% of left-right difference〓 This is a parameter that measures the left-right balance/imbalance of each meridian. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the diagnostic processing of systemic functions. The parameter analysis/diagnosis means 7 is
In step S61, the systemic diagnostic parameters
A comparison is made between AVE~L/R and each common standard NS read from the standard value table storage means 8. In step S62, it is determined whether or not the result of the comparison is within the normal range. Systemic diagnostic parameters AVE~
When L/R is within the range of the corresponding common reference value NS, it is within the normal range, and the processing of steps S63 and S64 is skipped. In addition, the common standard value
If it is not within the range of NS, proceed to step S63,
The common standard value NS used for the comparison, the information representing the magnitude relationship (symbol > or <), and the symbol representing abnormality are the corresponding systemic diagnostic parameters.
Store in AD output area. In step S64, the types of systemic diagnostic parameters AVE~L/R
The diagnostic dictionary storage means 9 is referred to in accordance with the information representing the magnitude relationship between the values and the appropriate diagnostic information DJ is read out and stored in a predetermined output area. Step S6
In step 5, the normalized parameters L%, R%, and D% of each functional parameter are compared in magnitude with the respective common standards NS read from the standard value table storage means 8. In step S66, it is determined whether or not the result of the comparison is within the normal range. When the normalized parameter is within the range of the corresponding common reference value NS, it is within the normal range, and the process of step S67 is skipped. If it is not within the range of the common reference value NS, the process proceeds to step S67, and the common reference value NS used for the comparison is associated with information (symbol > or <) representing the magnitude relationship and a symbol representing abnormality. Store in the normalization parameter output area. In step S68, the data editing means 12
Measurement data such as functional parameters BP~IQ, determined systemic diagnostic parameters AVE~L/R and normalization parameters L%~D%, and information on diagnostic results
The DJ etc. are output to the data output device 4 in the form of a table. FIG. 11 shows an example of an output list of systemic diagnostic parameters. In the average value AVE, AP is larger than the common reference value NS, which is indicated by the symbol > and the common reference value NS. Therefore, abnormal trends in functional parameters compared to healthy others can be immediately seen. Furthermore, since L% and R% are shown normalized, it is easy to compare the relative relationships for each meridian. That is, the closer these values are to 1.0, the closer they are to the average value.
Furthermore, since L% and R% are assigned rank numbers in descending order of value, it is possible to easily grasp phenomena such as falsity, actuality, and reversal due to intra-individual diagnostic parameters, which will be described later. Note that the process of step S64 is not necessarily necessary. This is because a specialist can make a sufficient diagnosis and determine treatment points simply by using the list data shown in FIG. However, in cases where the subject manages his or her own health, the process in step S64 provides useful and easy-to-understand diagnostic information. Below is the diagnostic information DJ output in various cases.
Let me show you an example. The message of the diagnostic information DJ is outputted to a predetermined diagnostic column together with the type of systemic diagnostic parameters AV to D% etc. that are determined to be abnormal in step S62. 〓Average value AVE〓 BP>NS: Increased meridian function BP<NS: Reduced meridian function AP>NS: Sympathetic nerve dominant AP<NS: Accessory sympathetic nerve dominant IQ>NS: Acute stage of disease/chronic disease/allergic predisposition IQ<NS : Deterioration of metabolic and biological defense functions Both BP and IQ > NS: Acute stage of disease Both BP and IQ > NS: General weakened state 〓 Normalized standard deviation SD〓 AP, BP, IQ > NS: Enhancement of each function AP, BP, IQ＜NS: Relaxation of each function〓Ratio of hands and feet〓F/T〓AP＞NS: Current mood is high, anger, hot flashes, autonomic nervous symptoms appear.

Calculation of intra-individual diagnostic parameters... Fig. 7 is a flowchart showing the creation process of the intra-individual diagnostic parameters AD' based on the functional parameters BP. The intra-individual diagnostic parameter AD' was created for the purpose of making the diagnosis of the subject more accurate, and it is not a comparison with healthy others using the common reference value NS, but rather a diagnosis parameter AD' that is created based on the differences between the 14 meridians within the individual patient.
In fact, it is used to see reversals. For this purpose, the functional parameters BP are used in particular as the source data. Unlike other AP, IQ, etc., the value of the functional parameter BP is based on ancient false evidence (the meridian function is weakened and weak, and Qi energy is not flowing sufficiently), or proof (the meridian function is worse than normal). active, with more qi energy flowing than normal or stagnation)
This is because it shows a deep correlation with What is particularly interesting is that meridians that have a so-called yin and yang relationship show a reversal in BP value, such as (value of yin meridian) < (value of yang meridian) when there is an abnormality such as disease in the internal organs related to them. It is. The intra-individual diagnostic parameters AD' shown below are the left side average value BP _AL , the right side average value BP _AR , the average value BP _{AF of the meridians originating from the hands, and the average value of the meridians originating from the feet, calculated for the measured functional parameters BP} . value
BP _AT , normalized standard deviation BP _SL on the left side, normalized standard deviation BP _SR on the right side, normalized standard deviation BP _SF of the meridians originating from the hands, normalized standard deviation BP _ST of the meridians originating from the feet, These are the left and right hand ratio BP _LRF , the left and right foot ratio BP _LRT , the left limb ratio BP _FTL , and the right limb ratio BP _FTR . In addition to this, some of the whole body diagnostic parameters (average value, normalized standard deviation, ratio of limbs, left and right ratio) obtained through the process shown in FIG. 5 are used as intra-individual diagnostic parameters. The parameter analysis/diagnosis means 7 performs step S7.
In 1, the left side average value BP _AL of the functional parameter BP is calculated from the BP value of the left hand and foot using BP _AL = 1/14 x Σi = ¹⁴ ₁ BP _i , and the right side average value BP _AR is calculated from the BP value of the right hand and foot BP _AR = 1/14 x Σi = ¹⁴ ₁ BP _i , the average value of meridians originating from the hands BP _AF from the BP values of both hands, BP _AF = 1/14 x Σi = ¹⁴ ₁ BP _i , the average value of the meridians originating from the feet The value BP _AT is calculated from the BP values of both feet by BP _AT = 1/14 x Σi = ¹⁴ ₁ BP _i , and the results are stored in the output area. In step S72, in the same way, the left normalized standard deviation BP _SL is calculated using the BP value of the left limb and the left average value.
From BP _AL , calculate BP _SL = 1/BP _AL・√114×= ¹⁴ ₁ ( _i − _AL ) ² , and calculate the normalized standard deviation BP _SR on the right side from the BP value of the right limb and the right average value BP _AR . _SR = 1/BP _AR・√114×= ¹⁴ ₁ ( _i − _AR ) ² Normalized standard deviation of the meridian originating from the hand
Calculate BP _SF from the BP values of both hands and _the average value ^of both hands BP _AF by BP _SF = ₁ / _{BP AF}・^√114
BP _ST is calculated from the BP values of both feet and the average value BP _AT of both feet by BP _ST = 1/BP _AT √114 x = ¹⁴ ₁ ( _i - _AT ) ² , and the results are stored in the output area. In step S73, the ratio of the left and right hands is determined in the same way.
Calculate BP _LRF from the BP value of the left hand and the BP value of the right hand. BP _LRF = Left hand average value BP _ALF / Right hand average value BP _ARF . Calculate the ratio of the left and right feet BP _LRT from the BP value of the left foot and the BP value of the right foot. BP _LRT = Left foot average value BP _ALT / Right foot average value BP _ART Calculate the left limb ratio BP _FTL from the left hand BP value and left foot BP value BP _FTL = Left foot average value BP _ALF / Left foot average value BP _ALT The ratio BP _FTR of the right limb is calculated from the BP value of the right hand and the BP value of the right foot by BP _FTR = right hand average value BP _ARF / right foot average value BP _ART , and these results are stored in the output area. In step S74, the data editing means 12 converts each value of the intra-individual diagnostic parameters into a bar graph using symbols that most intuitively represent the meanings (types) of those parameters as units, and outputs it to the data output device 4. FIGS. 12 a to 12 c are diagrams showing examples of bar graphs of intra-individual diagnostic parameters. In the average value (AVERAGE) in Figure 12 a, the left average value BP _AL
(LEFT) and right-hand average value BP _AR (RIGHT), these bar graphs are converted with L for the meaning on the left side and R for the meaning on the right side. Therefore, the viewer has the advantage of being able to immediately understand the meaning and size of the graph just by looking at the bar graph itself, without having to refer to the names in the left column of the bar graph. This conversion method preferably uses one character or one symbol, but is not limited to this. For example, if there are many types of bar graphs, it may be converted using "words". Also the first
As shown in the BALANCE bar graph in Figure 2c, these bar graphs are converted with the symbol > when the ratio exceeds 1.0, and with the symbol < when the ratio does not exceed 1.0. Therefore, the viewer has the advantage of being able to immediately read the nature of size from these symbols. In short, it should be expressed in a way that connects with the viewer's intuition depending on the purpose and state of use. ...Diagnosis using intra-individual diagnostic parameters... FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing diagnostic processing using intra-individual diagnostic parameters. As mentioned above, the functional parameter BP value has a strong correlation with false evidence, proof, etc., so there is an advantage that diagnosis can be made using traditional methods based on these. The following process further defines the states of imaginary, most imaginary, real, most real, reversed, and unstable based on the intra-individual diagnostic parameters obtained as above, and adds these as new intra-individual diagnostic parameters. It is something. The parameter analysis/diagnosis means 7 performs step S8.
1, for each measured value L _i (or its normalized parameter L%, the same applies hereinafter) on the left side of the functional parameter BP, the 10th to 12th positions (for example, in the case of using the 12 meridians from the top in Figure 11, the following The meridian that shows the same size is diagnosed as a left-sided imaginary. Step S82
Now, for each measured value R _i (or its normalized parameter R%, the same applies hereinafter) on the right side of the functional parameter BP, the meridian showing the 10th to 12th magnitude is diagnosed as the right side imaginary. In step S83, the function parameters
For L _i and R _i of BP, the value of (L _i + R _i )/2 is the 10th
The meridians that show the magnitude from the 1st to the 12th are diagnosed as imaginary, and the meridians that show the lowest value among them are diagnosed as the most imaginary.
In step S84, the meridian showing the first to third largest sizes for L _i of the functional parameter BP is diagnosed as the fruit on the left side. In step S85, the meridian showing the first to third largest size of R _i of the functional parameter BP is diagnosed as the fruit on the right side. In step S86, regarding L _i and R _i of the functional parameters BP (L _i +
The meridian whose value of R _i )/2 is the first to third largest is diagnosed as fruit, and the meridian with the highest value among them is diagnosed as fruit. In step S87, regarding L _i and R _i of the functional parameters BP, (Yin meridian) < (Yang meridian)
In this relationship, if the value of the difference shows the first to third largest magnitude, the meridian is diagnosed as reversed. In step S88, the difference between the left and right functional parameters BP is determined.
Di(=|L _i −R _i | or its normalization parameter D
%, the same applies hereafter), the meridian whose size is the 1st to 3rd largest is diagnosed as lower stable. Data editing means 12
In step S89, the information on the above diagnostic results is converted into a bar graph in the order that best represents the characteristics of each diagnostic result and output, and if there is an abnormality in comparison with the reference value, the diagnostic result to that effect is displayed. Output. FIGS. 13a to 13e are diagrams showing examples of bar graphs of diagnostic results based on intra-individual diagnostic parameters. For example, in Figure 13a, the BPs of the 12 meridians are shown in order from 1st to 12th. Functional parameters mentioned above
This corresponds to the ranking of L _i of BP. Therefore,
You can see at a glance that the 1st to 3rd meridians are real, and the 10th to 12th meridians are false. Similarly,
Figure 13c shows unstable meridians at a glance. These bar graphs provide useful information in determining treatment points in a very easy to understand manner. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing radar chart editing processing. In step S91, the data editing means 12 divides the circular pattern of a predetermined diameter into 12 (or 14) equal parts from the center, draws a line segment pointing outward from the center, and draws a line segment extending outward from the center, and at the intersection of the line segment and the circumference. Match 12 (or 14) meridian names. Step S
92, the parameters L _i found for each meridian,
Make the value of R _i correspond to the length from the center of the circle, and connect each point with a straight line. In step S93, the value of the left-right difference obtained for each meridian is made to correspond to the length from the center of the circle, and a triangle extending outward from the center of the circle is formed with each point as a vertex. In step S94, the area from the center of the circle is filled with a circle having a predetermined radius set as a threshold value. In step S95, move another circle 12 (or
14) Divide into equal parts and match the 12 (or 14) meridian names in the same way. In step S96, the left and right average values obtained for each meridian are made to correspond to the length from the center of the circle, and the points are connected with a straight line. Step S97 is
The inversion value obtained for each meridian is made to correspond to the length from the center of the circle, and a triangle extending outward from the center of the circle is formed with each point as a vertex. In step S98, the area from the center of the circle is overlaid with a circle having a predetermined radius set as a threshold value. FIGS. 14a and 14b are diagrams showing an example of a radar chart. Radar charts have the advantage of being able to read more comparative information at a glance. In the radar chart of the embodiment, the various quantities obtained for each meridian are made to correspond to the length from the center of the circle, so the vicinity of the center of the circle tends to be somewhat complicated. However, since it is usually not very important to know the details of this part of the data, I decided to fill it in with a small circle. This makes the radar chart much easier to see. Furthermore, by making the radius of the small circle correspond to a certain threshold value, it is easy to get the impression that the information protruding from the small circle has important meaning. ...Determination of the stimulation treatment point...Imaginary (DEFIC), actual (EXCES), left-right difference (IMBAL) determined for the functional parameters BP,
The intra-individual diagnostic parameters of INVER are closely related to the determination of the stimulation treatment point. The following processing is for automatically and safely carrying out complex judgments made by specialists. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing treatment point diagnosis processing. The treatment point determining means 10 performs step S1.
In 01, the functional parameters BP are imaginary (DEFIC), real (EXCES), left-right difference (IMBAL),
Find the meridians that indicate inversion (INVER), and identify the top three meridians for each. Step S
In step 102, appropriate treatment point information TJ is read out by referring to the treatment point dictionary storage means 11 in accordance with the above-determined imaginary, real, left-right difference, and reverse meridian information. The treatment point dictionary storage means 11 stores dictionary information established over a long period of clinical practice regarding the relationship between the meridian information and stimulation treatment points, and stores appropriate treatment point information TJ in the following relationship, for example. Output. (1) Treatment of false meridians → Stimulate the original hole of the real meridian (2) Treatment of reversed meridian → Stimulate the original hole of the real meridian (3) Treatment of the real meridian → Recruitment hole of the real meridian Stimulation (4) Treatment of unstable meridians → Stimulation of the hole of the imaginary meridian (5) Activation and balancing treatment of 28 meridians of the whole body → Activation of the hole of the imaginary meridian and recruitment hole stimulation → Stimulation of the original hole of the real meridian (6) Treatment of the relative decline of the 14 meridians in the upper body → Recruitment stimulation of the imaginary meridian (7) Treatment of the relative decline of the 14 meridians in the lower body → Original hole stimulation of the imaginary meridian (8) Imaginary meridians and the Three Yin Three Treatment when the yang meridian is imaginary and the left-right difference is large → Stimulate the original hole of the imaginary meridian (9) Treatment of the imaginary meridian that has a yin-yang relationship with the imaginary meridian → Stimulate the root hole of the imaginary meridian ( 10) Treatment of unstable meridians and yin and yang, two meridians that have a three yin and three yang relationship are false → Stimulate the recruitment of unstable meridians (11) Real meridians and conflicting meridians Treatment when the conflicting meridians are unstable → actual Stimulating the original hole of the meridian (12) Treating the false meridian that has a mutualistic relationship with the unstable meridian → Stimulating the original hole of the unstable meridian (13) When the meridian that has a conflicting relationship with the unstable meridian is actually unstable. , and treatment when the left-right difference of the oppositely related meridians is larger than the standard value → Stimulate the recruitment of unstable meridians In step S103, the data editing means 12 selects the names of the 12 (or 14) meridians and the meridians of each of the above-mentioned meridians. The top three in-person diagnostic parameters that correspond to the names and indicate the above-mentioned imaginary to reverse are expressed by the number of corresponding symbols, and the raw holes and recruitment holes that correspond to the meridian names mentioned above. , the name of each stimulation point in the hole, and the point to be treated expressed by adding a symbol to the name of each stimulation point are output in a table. In step S104, the treatment points are attached to a predetermined human body diagram pattern and output. FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of table information of treatment points. Here, for example, the treatment of the false meridian (A) (L%
~R% increase) is indicated to stimulate the original hole (Taien) of the fruit meridian (Hai).
The treatment point for the meridian of reversal (Shin) is also the same original hole (Taien). Conversely, in order to treat the real meridian (high) (reducing L% to R%), it is recommended to stimulate the recruitment hole of the false meridian (a). According to such treatment point information, the false and real meridians can be treated and the balance can be easily restored. Moreover, the table is very easy to read because it shows the numbers of similar symbols to indicate the imaginary, real, reversal, etc. of each of the first to third places. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of information on treatment points shown in a human body diagram. Since only the necessary treatment points are displayed, there is no possibility of mistaken recognition and it is safe.
