Abstract

An inspiration system related symptom sensing system includes a patch and a processor. The patch includes at least one vibrator and a plurality of receivers. Each of the receivers is configured to generate a reference vibration signal corresponding to the vibrator and a vibration signal corresponding to an inspiration system of an organism. The processor is configured to determine a relative position of each of the receivers related to the inspiration system of the organism based on the reference vibration signals, the vibration signals, and a plurality of positional relationships of the vibrator corresponding to each of the receivers. The processor is configured to generate a spatial position corresponding to the inspiration system and a corresponding symptom type by using a classification model based on the abnormal signals and the relative positions corresponding to the receivers.
