Benefits of technology

The patent text describes an electronic device and method for measuring a vital signal. The technical effects of this invention include improving accuracy and reliability in measuring important signals, such as blood flow or brain waves, to better understand and monitor the health of users.

Problems solved by technology

In order to analyze the HRV in the frequency domain, a minimum measurement time of two (2) minutes is required, and it is not easy to apply such a required time period to a mobile heath care device.
Indexes may be replaced with blood sugar level, blood pressure, body temperature, and weight, but it is impossible to analyze the HRV by using the blood sugar level, blood pressure, body temperature, and weight.
However, when a stress index is measured, different personal HRVs are not reflected and the same method is applied, so that individual variance is not reflected to the stress measurement.
However, except for a case where the user intentionally measures stress, no movement for two (2) minutes or longer is unlikely.

Abstract

Methods and apparatuses are provided for measuring a vital signal by an electronic device. A motion of the electronic device is detected. It is determined whether an amount of the motion is less than or equal to a threshold. At least one vital signal is measured at least once if the amount of the motion is less than or equal to the threshold. A parameter of the at least one vital signal is analyzed. The parameter is converted into vital information.

Description

PRIORITY[0001]This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) to Korean Application Serial Nos. 10-2014-0117297, 10-2015-0001341 and 10-2015-0101716, which were filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Sep. 3, 2014, Jan. 6, 2015, and Jul. 17, 2015, respectfully, the contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates generally to an electronic device and a method for signal measurement, and more particularly, to an electronic device and method for determining vital information from a measured a vital signal.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]In order to increase the value of an electronic device and meet various demands of users, various applications have been developed for execution by the electronic device.[0006]A user can measure his / her own vital signals relating to health care through an electronic device. Methods for measuring a vital signal include, for exampl...
