Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a multi-antenna wireless sensor system, more particularly a sensor system that remotely monitors wireless physiological signal sensor and feedback data through a wireless base station arranged with a plurality of wireless transceivers and a network device.

DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART

Many conventional physiological signal monitoring devices, such as the sleep monitoring system, are built on wired transmission technology that means wires have to be attached to subjects' body, and they are connected to a huge and heavy machine which would restrict the movement of the subjects and at times makes it hard for them to go to bathrooms. That is one of the reasons that keep many patients with sleep disorder from having examination in hospitals. It also takes a lot of time to train technicians to conduct the examination in the hospitals.

Wireless devices can be categorized into different classes by the radiation emitted. For example, a radio station emits kW radiation, and a mobile phone emits 1 W radiation. However, studies on the long-term exposure to such radiation have not been well established and the effects of such radiation on people are inconclusive. Naturally people are apprehensive about the possible harmful effect of radio waves on brain. Recently some computer peripherals switch to wireless network or Bluetooth system with less energy consumption for signal transmission. Some low energy systems have even been applied to wireless mouse or keyboard. Generally speaking, people are weary of the possible health hazard of radiation while enjoying the convenience brought about by wireless products. Even though theoretically radiation emitted by wireless systems is proven harmless, wave interference between machines are not acceptable. Since the use of low energy in radio transmission has become a trend, low-energy systems are more readily accepted for use at home and in hospitals. Low energy also means lighter weight and more compact in size, and usually costs less. However, the application of low energy system produces some limitations on the detection of physiological signals because small emission power limits the range of transmission to 10 meters; therefore, once the user moves, the signals disappear. Since low radiation energy is favored by consumers, the only way to enhance the quality of wireless transmission is to increase the quantity or distribution density of receivers.

Such system can also be applied in the study of neuroscience, behavioral science, biofeedback (e.g. electroencephalogram (EEG) feedback to cut down dozing off during work), maintenance of cardiac and circulation system and routine activities to realize ultimately an intelligent PC-doctor system.

To achieve the aforesaid objects, the multi-antenna wireless sensor system allows the user to measure physiological signals and transmit the same, comprising a wireless sensor, a wireless base station, a network device, and a data processing unit.
