Abstract

To provide a biological signal measuring equipment that can perform the measurement in the same manner as the case of measuring a wave motion of a short period, even in the case of measuring the wave motion of a long period generated in a head portion. A biological signal measuring equipment used in the measurement of the biological signal in a head portion, has a jaw contact portion that comes into contact with a forehead; an occiput contact portion that comes into contact with the occiput; and a supporter that is interposed in a front and rear direction of the head portion and is supported by the head portion by using the jaw contact portion and the occiput contact portion as ends.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified

         2 . The biological signal measuring equipment according to  claim 1 , wherein the housing further comprises a battery,
 wherein the circuitry is operated with power of the battery.   
     
     
         3 . The biological signal measuring equipment according to  claim 2 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to transmit the biological signal to an external device wirelessly. 
     
     
         4 . The biological signal measuring equipment according to  claim 3 , wherein the housing further comprises a button, on an opposite side of the housing to a side facing the head, configured to turn on the circuitry. 
     
     
         5 . The biological signal measuring equipment according to  claim 4 , further comprising:
 a chin supporter configured to be attached to a chin of the subject,   wherein a first end of the chin supporter is configured to be coupled to the second arm, and   wherein a second end of the chin supporter is configured to be coupled to the third arm.   
     
     
         6 . The biological signal measuring equipment according to  claim 5 , wherein the first arm includes an angle adjustment mechanism configured to adjust an angle of an inner surface of the first arm relative to a contact portion of the head. 
     
     
         7 . The biological signal measuring equipment according to  claim 6 , wherein the first electrode is configured to be in contact with the top of the head of the subject. 
     
     
         8 . The biological signal measuring equipment according to  claim 7 , wherein the housing has a curve shape to fit a curve of the head of the subject. 
     
     
         9 . The biological signal measuring equipment according to  claim 8 , wherein the second electrode is configured to be in contact with a first temple of the subject, and
 wherein the third electrode is configured to be in contact with a second temple of the subject.   
     
     
         10 . The biological signal measuring equipment according to  claim 9 , wherein the first arm includes a forehead abutment portion configured to support the housing. 
     
     
         11 . The biological signal measuring equipment according to  claim 10 , wherein the second arm and the third arm are configured to be coupled to the first arm between the first electrode and the forehead abutment portion. 
     
     
         12 . The biological signal measuring equipment according to  claim 11 , wherein the first arm includes an adjuster mechanism configured to adjust length of the first arm. 
     
     
         13 . The biological signal measuring equipment according to  claim 3 , wherein the circuitry is configured to transmit the biological signal to the external device, wherein the biological signal is generated based on amplification of the biological information and conversion of the biological signal from analog to digital. 
     
     
         14 . The biological signal measuring equipment according to  claim 3 , wherein the circuitry is configured to transmit the biological signal, generated based on amplification of a difference between the biological information and a ground point and conversion of the amplified difference from analog to digital, to the external device. 
     
     
         15 . The biological signal measuring equipment according to  claim 3 , wherein the circuitry is configured to transmit the biological signal to an external device, wherein the biological signal is generated based on amplification of a difference between the biological information, filtration of the amplified signal and conversion of the filtered signal from analog to digital. 
     
     
         16 . The biological signal measuring equipment according to  claim 12 , wherein the housing further comprises a USB connector. 
     
     
         17 . The biological signal measuring equipment according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a measurement portion configured to measure a potential difference between the first electrode and the second electrode as the biological signal of the head of the subject.   
     
     
         18 . A biological signal measuring system, comprising:
