針灸手法感測器於電子針灸銅人之應用與實做
Acupuncture Technique Sensors Applied Upon Electrical Acupuncture Statue
摘要
本論文主旨在開發具偵測針灸補瀉手法的電子針灸銅人，以供針灸練習及教學使用。銅人的功能包括辨識穴位的進出針、偵測提插補瀉手法（進針深度）以及偵測捻轉補瀉手法（旋轉方向及旋轉圈數），依據不同的偵測原理，吾人開發以材料性質偵測手法的第二代電子針灸銅人，以及以視訊偵測針灸手法的第三代電子針灸銅人。 第二代電子針灸銅人結合感測器、系統電路及互動式介面，研發偵測針灸補瀉手法的感測系統。吾人利用導電紗網(conductive mesh) 與聚二甲基矽氧烷（polydimethylsiloxane PDMS)，製作模擬人體肌膚觸感的針灸定位感測器（進出針）、針灸深度感測器（提插補瀉手法）以及針灸旋轉感測器（捻轉補瀉手法）。系統電路以單晶片、通道掃描電路以及被動式感測陣列檢查上述感測器，並將感測結果傳送至電腦互動式介面顯示。除了顯示結果外，互動式介面也提供穴道查詢系統、提插捻轉補瀉系統、中英文介面整合、COM變換系統以及語音提示系統等五種功能，幫助使用者在針灸上的學習。 第三代電子針灸銅人克服扎針手感、獨立光源以及視角不足的問題，設計專門觀察針灸針的視訊感測模組，以攝影機及影像處理程序辨別針灸補瀉手法，取代第二代電子針灸銅人的系統電路及感測器，實現兼具定位、深度以及旋轉感測功能的電子針灸銅人。 最終，吾人將第二代與第三代電子針灸銅人作系統整合，成功讓兩代不同感測模式於一個電子針灸銅人上實現。

This thesis presents interactive Electrical Acupuncture models for teaching and practicing purposes. Based on the previous Electrical Acupuncture model which could detect the inserting positions of needles, we develop new acupuncture models to detect commonly used acupuncture techniques, such as lifting/thrusting and twirling. In the second version, the passive sensor scanning array circuit is added to the original circuit for detecting the lift-thrust acupuncture technique. Needle sensors are improved by using conductive mesh and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to withstand repeated piercing, and integrated as sensor modules. In addition, the interactive interface program is extended to include the Acupuncture Inquiry System, the Acupuncture Technique System, the COM Settings System, the Chinese-English Interface Integration, and the Sound Reminder System. In the third version, we introduce the Webcam Sensor Modules to detect different acupuncture skills using image processing procedures. The model replaces the sensors and electric circuits of the second version, by developing a single sensor module to detect the aformentioned acupuncture techniques. Lastly, the two developed models are integrated, and realized on an acupuncture mannequin for experimental verification. Based on the results, the proposed models are deemed effective.
