The present application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2022-0139211 filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Oct. 26, 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a body-customized light irradiation apparatus and a method for controlling the same, and more specifically, to a light irradiation apparatus and a method for controlling the same that are capable of allowing light to be irradiated customizedly to a human or animal body shape.
Hair grows out of the epidermis so that the hair has a cycle and a metabolism. Each hair has the hair cycle consisting of a new birth phase, a growth phase, a regression phase, and a loss phase, and if a person is healthy, his or her hair cycle can last an average of 5 to 6 years. An adult has about one hundred thousands of hairs and normally loses around 80 hairs per day. If a greater number of hairs than 80 hairs per day are lost, he or she has alopecia.
To treat the alopecia, various technologies including a chemical therapy have been suggested, and recently, it is known that if beams with specific wavelengths are irradiated on body tissues, the metabolism on the corresponding region is boosted and the functions of the body tissues are activated, which is suggested as a Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) and applied to an alopecia treatment.
The LLLT makes use of the laser beams having wavelengths between 600 nm and 1300 nm and energy intensity between 1 mW and 1000 mW, and if the laser beams are irradiated on a user's scalp, the hair follicles and the living tissues around the hair follicles may be activated to expect hair re-growth promotion, hair growth promotion, and hair loss prevention.
So as to optimize the effectiveness of the LLLT, the laser beams with appropriate intensity have to be irradiated on positions where a treatment is needed. However, generally, the human scalp is curvedly or irregularly shaped, and further, the scalp is covered with hairs, so that it is hard to irradiate the laser beams with appropriate intensity on accurate positions of the scalp.
Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems occurring in the related art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a body-customized light irradiation apparatus and a method for controlling the same that are capable of allowing light to be irradiated customizedly to a user's body, thereby optimizing treatment effectiveness.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a body-customized light irradiation apparatus and a method for controlling the same that are capable of allowing the light to be irradiated on a user's body to be adjusted in position and at angle even though the user's body is curvedly or irregularly shaped.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a body-customized light irradiation apparatus and a method for controlling the same that are capable of allowing the light to be irradiated on a user's body to be adjusted in distance to thus irradiate the light with optimal intensity on given positions of the user's body.
According to and embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a light irradiation apparatus comprising: a body part, base parts coupled to the body part, light irradiators coupled to the corresponding base part to irradiate light on a user's body, and position adjustors for adjusting the light irradiators in position and having one or more actuators controlled by a computing device, wherein the one or more actuators adjust the light irradiators in position so that the positions of the light irradiators correspond to the user's body on which the light is irradiated.
According to and embodiment of the present invention, a method for controlling a light irradiation apparatus, comprising the steps of: fixing a body part to a user's body, tilting base parts coupled to the body part toward at least portions of the user's body, adjusting light irradiators coupled to the corresponding base part in position, and irradiating light on the at least portions of the user's body from the light irradiators, wherein the step of adjusting the light irradiators in position is performed so that the positions of the light irradiators correspond to the at least portions of the user's body on which the light is irradiated.

Referring to
The body part 110 serves as a housing in which the principal parts of the light irradiation apparatus 100 are protectedly accommodated. The outer appearance of the light irradiation apparatus 100 as shown in
For example, if the light irradiation apparatus 100 is available to apply stimulations to a user's scalp, it may have the shape of a helmet. Contrarily, if the light irradiation apparatus 100 is available to apply stimulations to the user's face, it may have the shape of a face mask. Like this, the light irradiation apparatus 100 may have various shapes according to the user's body regions to which it is available.
The base parts 120 are coupled to the body part 110 to locate the plurality of light irradiators 130 on the surfaces thereof. The base parts 120 are adjustable in position and/or at angle by means of an actuator controlled by a computing device so as to allow the light emitted from the light irradiators 130 to be irradiated on the user's body at optimal angles and strength (intensity). As shown in
The light irradiators 130 serve to irradiate the light with a predetermined wavelength range for the purpose of body stimulation, such as a low level laser therapy, and the like.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the predetermined wavelength range is between 620 nm and 660 nm, and an amount of light outputted in the predetermined wavelength range is between 1.5 mW and 5.5 mW. Without being limited thereto, however, the predetermined wavelength range may be less than 620 nm or greater than 660 nm, and an amount of light outputted in the predetermined wavelength range may be less than 1.5 mW and greater than 5.5 mW.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the light irradiators 130 may be laser diodes (hereinafter, referred to as LDs) or light emitting diodes (hereinafter, referred to as LEDs). In this case, the LDs and LEDs as the light irradiators 130 in one light irradiation apparatus 100 may be used together.
The fixing parts 141, 142, 143, and 144 serve to fix the light irradiation apparatus 100 to the user's body. The fixing parts 141, 142, 143, and 144 are disposed inside the light irradiation apparatus 100 and come into close contact with the user's body. As shown in
The light irradiation apparatus 100 of the present invention is configured to allow the light irradiators 130 to be automatically adjusted in position so that the light irradiated from the light irradiators 130 corresponds to the user's body on which the light is irradiated. This means that the base parts 120 are adjusted at angle and/or in position or the light irradiators 130 are adjusted in position appropriately according to the shape or position of the user's body, so that the light irradiation angles or distances of the light irradiators 130 can be adjusted appropriately according to the shape or position of the user's body. An explanation of configurations and operating methods related to the adjustment of the base parts 120 and the light irradiators 130 will be given in detail with reference to
The base parts 120 are configured to locate the light irradiators 130 thereon. Each light irradiator 130 is attached to the surface of the corresponding base part 120, and otherwise, it may be built in the corresponding base part 120.
As shown in
Further, each base part 120 has one or more actuators 150 and 160 coupled thereto or included therein as position adjustors for adjusting the base part 120 or the light irradiators 130 at angle or in position. One or more actuators 150 and 160 are controlled by the computing device and provide mechanical mechanisms for adjusting the positions and/or angles of the light irradiators 130.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the first actuators 150 of the actuators serve to tilt the base parts 120 to given angles or move the base parts 120 forward or backward toward or from the user's body. According to the embodiment of the present invention, each first actuator 150 includes a linear motor.
According to the present invention, the second actuators 160 of the actuators are provided correspondingly to the respective light irradiators 130 to move the light irradiators 130 forward or backward toward or from the user's body. According to the embodiment of the present invention, each second actuator 160 includes a linear motor.
An explanation of the operations of the first actuators 150 and the second actuators 160 will be given in detail with reference to
As shown in
In this case, the first actuator 150 serves to tilt the base part 120 to allow the base part 120 to be adjusted at angle and in position so that the light irradiators 130 can face the surface of the user's body (the scalp) accurately.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the adjustment of the base part 120 at angle and in position is performed based on body scanning data. For example, the light irradiation apparatus 100 calculates a normal vector of the surface of the user's body based on the body scanning data, obtains a tilting angle at which the normal vector is parallel with a predetermined axis of the base part 120, and allows the first actuator 150 to adjust the base part 120 at angle and in position based on the tilting angle.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, meanwhile, the adjustment of the base part 120 at angle and in position may be performed according to predetermined irradiation modes. An explanation of the irradiation modes will be given in detail with reference to
Referring to
Referring to
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the first actuator 150 tilts the base part 120 to an angle corresponding to each irradiation mode. For example, an angle between the predetermined axis y2 of the base part 120 and a vertical axis y1 of a global coordinate system is k1 in the basic irradiation mode and k2 in the irradiation mode for the top of the head, which are predetermined. In this case, if the angle is not k1 in the basis irradiation mode, the first actuator 150 tilts the base part 120 to make the angle become k 1. If the angle is not k2 in the irradiation mode for the top of the head, the first actuator 150 tilts the base part 120 to make the angle become k2.
In the embodiment of the present invention as shown in
If the base part 120 has a long distance from the user's body, it is hard that the light emitted from the light irradiators 130 completely arrive at the surface of the user's body, thereby causing an energy loss. Contrarily, if the base part 120 is close to the user's body, the intensity of the light coming into contact with the surface of the user's body may become too strong.
So as to solve such problems, the first actuator 150 moves the base part 120 toward or from the user's body and thus adjusts the distance therebetween so that the base part 120 has an optimal distance from the user's body.
Referring to
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the method for adjusting the distance between one base part 120 and the user's body has been suggested, but the same method as in the above is carried out for the plurality of base parts 120, independently of one another. For example, if N base parts 120 are provided for the light irradiation apparatus 100, they can be adjusted in position and spaced apart from the user's body by optimal distances by means of the respective first actuators 150.
Under the method for adjusting the distances between the base parts 120 and the user's body, the base parts 120 are automatically adjusted in position in accordance with the shapes or sizes of the user's body, so that even though the user's body is hidden by hair or the light is not transmitted well owing to the irregular shape of the user's body, the light can be transmitted effectively to the user's body.
Further, because the distances between the base parts 120 and the user's body are automatically adjusted to the optimal distances, the light loss occurring until the irradiated light reaches the user's body can be minimized, and the light with optimal intensity can be irradiated on the user's body.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, further, the base part 120 approaches the user's body over a given distance or time, but if it is detected that the base part 120 does not touch the user's body, it is determined that the user's body does not exist on a position on which the light is irradiated, so that the power of the light irradiation apparatus 100 is turned off. An explanation of a method for controlling the power of the light irradiation apparatus 100 will be given in detail with reference to
In
In
According to the embodiment of the present invention, however, because it is assumed that the user's body (that is, the scalp) does not exist on a position where the user's body has to be located, even if the base part 120 moves to the first position, no contact between the base part 120 and the user's body is detected by means of the contact sensor 10.
In
In
Even though the user's body does not exist on the corresponding position after the base part 120 has moved back to the first position, no contact between the base part 120 and the user's body is still detected by means of the contact sensor 10.
In
If the user's body does not exist on the position where the light is irradiated, according to the embodiment of the present invention as shown in
According to the embodiment of the present invention as shown in
If the light irradiators 130 have long distances from the user's body, it is hard that the light irradiated from the light irradiators 130 fully reaches the surface of the user's body, and an energy loss occurs. Contrarily, if the light irradiators 130 have short distances from the user's body, the intensity of the light contacting with the surface of the user's body is excessively strong.
Further, if the plurality of light irradiators having a first light irradiator 131, a second light irradiator 132, and a third light irradiator 133 are disposed on one base part 120, distances between the first to third light irradiators 131 to 133 and the user's body may be different because of a difference between the surface curvature of the base part 120 and the surface curvature of the user's body (the scalp). In this case, the light reaching the user's body may be irradiated with different intensity according to the positions on which the light is irradiated, thereby undesirably causing the irradiation of the light with irregular intensity.
To solve such a problem, the second actuators 160 move the light irradiators 130 forward or backward toward or from the user's body and adjust the distances between the light irradiators 130 and the user's body, so that the light irradiators 130 can be distant from the user's body by optimal distances.
In
In the same manner as in the adjustment of the distance between the base part 120 and the user's body as shown in
Further, the base part 120 includes the contact sensors (not shown) for detecting contacts between the light irradiators 131, 132, and 133 and the user's body. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the contact sensors may pressure sensors. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the contact sensors may be built in the respective light irradiators 131, 132, and 133 or in the respective second actuators 161, 162, and 163.
Under the method for adjusting the distances between the light irradiators 131, 132, and 133 and the user's body, the light irradiators 131, 132, and 133 are automatically adjusted in position in accordance with the shapes or sizes of the user's body, so that even though the user's body us hidden by hair or light is not transmitted well owing to the irregular shape of the user's body, the light can be transmitted effectively to the user's body.
Further, because the distances between the light irradiators 131, 132, and 133 and the user's body are automatically adjusted to the optimal distances, the light loss occurring until the irradiated light reaches the user's body can be minimized, and the light with optimal intensity can be irradiated on the user's body, thereby preventing the light with irregular intensity from being irradiated.
Referring to
According to the present invention, the intensity of light irradiated on the user's body from the light irradiators 131, 132, and 133 becomes different based on the user's body scanning data.
For example, if the user's body scanning data is analyzed to recognize the features of the user's body, the intensity of light irradiated on the user's body around the features may be adjusted. For example, it is assumed that default intensity of light irradiated from the light irradiators 131, 132, and 133 is 1. In this case, if a scar exists at a position on which the light emitted from the first irradiator 131 is irradiated, the intensity of light irradiated from the first irradiator 131 is lowered to zero, and the intensity of light irradiated from the second irradiator 132 adjacent to the first irradiator 131 is lowered to 0.5, so as to prevent the scar from being serious by means of the light. The intensity of light irradiated from the third irradiator 133 somewhat distant from the first irradiator 131 is kept to 1. Otherwise, if thick dandruff exists at a position on which the light emitted from the first irradiator 131 is irradiated, the intensity of light irradiated from the first irradiator 131 is raised to 2, and the intensity of light irradiated from the second irradiator 132 adjacent to the first irradiator 131 is raised to 1.5, so as to allow light energy capable of passing through the thick dandruff to be sufficiently irradiated. The intensity of light irradiated from the third irradiator 133 somewhat distant from the first irradiator 131 is kept to 1.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, further, the light irradiators 131, 132, and 133 approach the user's body over a given distance or time, but if it is detected that the light irradiators 131, 132, and 133 do not come into contact with the user's body, it is determined that the user's body does not exist on a position on which light is irradiated, so that the power of the light irradiation apparatus 100 is turned off. An explanation of a method for controlling the power of the light irradiation apparatus 100 will be given in detail with reference to

According to the embodiment of the present invention, however, because it is assumed that the user's body (that is, the scalp) does not exist on a position where the user's body has to be located, even if the light irradiators 131, 132, and 133 move to the first positions, no contacts between the light irradiators 131, 132, and 133 and the user's body are detected by means of the contact sensors (not shown).
In
In
Even though the user's body does not exist on the corresponding position after the light irradiators 131, 132, and 133 have moved back to the first positions, no contacts between the light irradiators 131, 132, and 133 and the user's body are still detected by means of the contact sensor.
In
If the user's body does not exist on the position where light is irradiated, according to the embodiment of the present invention as shown in
In the same manner as in
A plurality of third actuators 171, 172, 173, and 174 corresponding to the first to fourth fixing parts 141, 142, 143, and 144 are disposed on the body part 110. The third actuators 171, 172, 173, and 174 move the corresponding first to fourth fixing parts 141, 142, 143, and 144 in the internal direction of the body part 110 to allow the first to fourth fixing parts 141, 142, 143, and 144 to come into close contact with the user's body. This process will be explained in detail with reference to
If the user's body (the scalp in the embodiment of the present invention) is located inside the body part 110, the third actuators 171, 172, 173, and 174 operate to fix the body part 110 to the user's body. The third actuators 171, 172, 173, and 174 move the corresponding first to fourth fixing parts 141, 142, 143, and 144 in the internal direction of the body part 110 until the corresponding first to fourth fixing parts 141, 142, 143, and 144 come into close contact with the user's body. If the first to fourth fixing parts 141, 142, 143, and 144 come into close contact with the user's body, the third actuators 171, 172, 173, and 174 stop the movements of the first to fourth fixing parts 141, 142, 143, and 144, and in this state, the body part 110 is fixed to the user's body.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the fixing parts 141, 142, 143, and 144 include contact sensors 181, 182, 183, and 184 corresponding thereto. The contact sensors 181, 182, 183, and 184 detect the contact pressures between the fixing parts 141, 142, 143, and 144 and the user's body, and if the detected contact pressures are over a threshold value, the detected signals are transmitted to the light irradiation apparatus 100. If the light irradiation apparatus 100 receives the detected signals from the contact sensors 181, 182, 183, and 184, it is determined that the fixing parts 141, 142, 143, and 144 are brought into close contact with the user's body, and the light irradiation apparatus 100 transmits control commands to the third actuators 171, 172, 173, and 174 so as to stop the movements of the fixing parts 141, 142, 143, and 144.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the fixing parts 141, 142, 143, and 144 have cushions disposed on the surfaces coming into close contact with the user's body to release the compression occurring when the fixing parts 141, 142, 143, and 144 come into close contact with the user's body.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, one or more imaging parts 191, 192, 193, 194, and 195 are distributedly located inside the body part 110.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the control module 20 controls the general operations of the light irradiation apparatus 100 as well as the operations of the imaging parts 191, 192, 193, 194, and 195.
The imaging parts 191, 192, 193, 194, and 195 provide the images (e.g., the scalp images) for the user's body located inside the body part 110 for the control module 20. The control module 20 transmits the images as image information to a user terminal 30 through a communication interface (not shown). The user sees the images on the user terminal 30 to check his or her scalp state.
Further, the user transmits a user request to the control module 20 through the user terminal 30 so as to request additional information related to his or her the user's body. For example, if the user wants to know more specific scalp state of the top of the head after his or her scalp state has been checked through the user terminal 30, the user terminal 30 transmits the request of specific information of the top of the head as the user request to the control module 20. The control module 20 allows the imaging part 191 corresponding to the top of the head to take a picture for his or her top of the head with a higher resolution and then transmits the image as image information to the user terminal 30.
In
The sub-base parts 121, 122, and 123 are adjusted at angle and/or in position, independently of one another. To do this, the respective sub-base parts 121, 122, and 123 are provided with the corresponding first actuators (not shown). The operations and configurations of the first actuators are the same as of the first actuator 150 as explained with references,
As described with reference to
For example, the first sub-base part 121 and the second sub-base part 122 of the sub-base parts 121, 122, and 123 are coupled or fastened to each other to constitute a first sub-module M1, and the remaining third sub-base part 133 constitutes a second sub-module M2. The first and second sub-modules M1 and M2 are adjusted at angle and/or in position, independently of each other.
In this case, the first sub-base part 121 and the second sub-base part 122 constituting the first sub-module M1 operate as the single integrated mechanical module and are thus adjusted at angle and/or in position in the state of being coupled or fastened to each other.
The light irradiation apparatus is the light irradiation apparatus 100 as described with references,
The method for controlling the body-customized light irradiation apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention is performed by automatically adjusting the light irradiators in position so that the light irradiators correspond to the user's body on which light is irradiated. In specific, the base parts are adjusted at angle and/or in position or the light irradiators are adjusted in position appropriately according to the shape or position of the user's body, so that the light irradiation angles or distances of the light irradiators can be adjusted appropriately according to the shape or position of the user's body.
Hereinafter, the method for controlling the body-customized light irradiation apparatus according to the present invention will be explained with reference to
At step S100, the body part is fixed to the user's body. In this case, one or more fixing parts disposed on the body part move to the inside of the body part by means of the third actuators and come into close contact with the user's body, so that the body part is fixed to the user's body.
At step S200, the base parts tilt toward at least portions of the user's body. In this case, the base parts are adjusted at angles by means of the first actuators to allow the predetermined axes of the base parts to be parallel with the normal vector of the surface of the user's body, so that the base parts tilt.
At step S300, the light irradiators are adjusted in positions. In this case, the first actuators move the corresponding base parts forward and backward toward and from the user's body to allow the light irradiators to be spaced apart from the user's body by optimal distances, so that the light irradiators are adjusted in positions. Otherwise, the second actuators move the corresponding light irradiators forward and backward toward and from the user's body to allow the light irradiators to be spaced apart from the user's body by optimal distances, so that the light irradiators are adjusted in positions.
At step S400, light is irradiated on at least portions of the user's body from the light irradiators.
As described above, the body-customized light irradiation apparatus and the method for controlling the same according to the embodiments of the present invention can allow the light to be irradiated customizedly to the user's body to thus optimize the treatment effectiveness.
Further, the body-customized light irradiation apparatus and the method for controlling the same according to the embodiments of the present invention can allow the light to be irradiated on the user's body to be adjusted in position and at angle even though the user's body is curvedly or irregularly shaped.
Besides, the body-customized light irradiation apparatus and the method for controlling the same according to the embodiments of the present invention can allow the light to be irradiated on the user's body to be adjusted in distance to thus irradiate the light with optimal intensity on given positions of the user's body.
