[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0043] An embodiment of this application provides a wrist-worn device, including a processor, a rotating member, a conductive electrode, an electronic switch, an ECG (electrocardiogram) sensor, a bio-impedance sensor (BIA, Bio-impedance analysis), and a position detection sensor. The above-mentioned processor can be a CPU (central processing unit) or an MCU (Microcontroller Unit); the rotating member is a member that can rotate relative to other components (such as a housing, a main board, a wristband, etc.) on the wrist-worn device. The position detection sensor is used to detect the rotation position of the rotating member, and this position detection sensor can be a Hall sensor or an optical tracking sensor. The electronic switch is an operating unit that realizes the on / off of the circuit by using electronic circuits and power electronic devices. The electronic switch in the above-mentioned wrist-worn device can control the connection and disconnection between the conductive electrode and the ECG sensor, and can also control the connection and disconnection between the conductive electrode and the bio-impedance sensor.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a flowchart of a method for collecting ECG data provided by an embodiment of this application. The execution subject of this embodiment can be the processor of the wrist-worn device. The steps implemented when the processor calls the computer program in the memory include:

[0045] S101: Determine whether a body composition detection instruction input by the user is received.

[0046] Among them, the body composition detection instruction is used to detect the impedance data of the user. The user can input the body composition detection instruction through the buttons or touch components of the wrist-worn device, or the user can also input the body composition detection instruction through other terminals (such as a mobile phone or a remote control).

[0047] S102: Determine whether the rotating member rotates to a preset position according to the data collected by the position detection sensor.

[0048] This embodiment can obtain the data collected by the position detection sensor according to a preset period, and then determine whether the rotating part rotates to a preset position based on the data collected by the position detection sensor. If the rotating part rotates to the preset position, it indicates that the wrist-worn device needs to collect physiological data. If the rotating part does not rotate to the preset position, the processor can enter the sleep state or start other functions, such as music playback, sleep detection, motion monitoring, etc.

[0049] S103: If the body composition detection instruction input by the user is not received and the rotating part rotates to the preset position, control the electronic switch to connect the conductive electrode to the ECG sensor, and use the ECG sensor to collect ECG data through the conductive electrode.

[0050] If the body composition detection instruction input by the user is not received and the rotating part rotates to the preset position, it indicates that the user may have heart discomfort at this time. At this time, the ECG data collection process can be directly entered. Specifically, the processor can control the electronic switch to connect the conductive electrode to the ECG sensor, and then use the ECG sensor to collect ECG data through the conductive electrode. This embodiment can also have an operation to enable the ECG sensor, and the enabled ECG sensor can collect corresponding ECG data through the conductive electrode. Specifically, the user can place the wrist and finger on the conductive electrode so that the ECG sensor can collect the user's ECG data through the conductive electrode.

[0051] This embodiment uses the data collected by the position detection sensor to determine the rotation position of the rotating part. When the rotating part rotates to the preset position, it indicates that the user has a need to collect physiological data. This embodiment can also determine whether the body composition detection instruction input by the user is received. If the body composition detection instruction input by the user is not received and the rotating part rotates to the preset position, control the conductive electrode to be connected to the ECG sensor, and then use the ECG sensor to collect ECG data through the conductive electrode. When the user's heart is uncomfortable, the collection of ECG data can be achieved by adjusting the rotating part, which can improve the convenience of the ECG data collection process.

[0052] As a further introduction to the above embodiment, the above processor can also perform the following operations: If the body composition detection instruction input by the user is received and the rotating part rotates to the preset position, control the electronic switch to connect the conductive electrode to the bioimpedance sensor, and use the bioimpedance sensor to collect impedance data through the conductive electrode. This embodiment can also have an operation to enable the bioimpedance sensor, and the enabled bioimpedance sensor can collect corresponding impedance data through the conductive electrode. Specifically, the user can place the wrist and finger on the conductive electrode so that the bioimpedance sensor can collect the user's impedance data through the conductive electrode.

[0053] This embodiment does not limit the order of execution of the two actions of "receiving a body composition detection instruction" and "rotating the rotating member to a preset position" during the above impedance data acquisition process. Specifically, this embodiment can preset a first delay time. If the action of "rotating the rotating member to a preset position" is executed first, it can be determined whether a body composition detection instruction is received within the first delay time after the rotating member rotates to the preset position. If so, it enters the operation process of "controlling the electronic switch to connect the conductive electrode to the bio-impedance sensor and using the bio-impedance sensor to collect impedance data through the conductive electrode". If not, it enters the operation process of "controlling the electronic switch to connect the conductive electrode to the ECG sensor and using the ECG sensor to collect ECG data through the conductive electrode". This embodiment can also preset a second delay time. If the action of "receiving a body composition detection instruction" is executed first, it can be determined whether the rotating member rotates to the preset position within the second delay time after receiving the body composition detection instruction. If so, it enters the operation process of "controlling the electronic switch to connect the conductive electrode to the bio-impedance sensor and using the bio-impedance sensor to collect impedance data through the conductive electrode". If not, the user is reminded to rotate the rotating member, or it is determined that the received body composition detection instruction is an invalid instruction.

[0054] Further, the ECG sensor and the bio-impedance sensor can share the conductive electrode, thereby reducing the number of conductive electrodes in the wrist-worn device. For example, the conductive electrode includes at least one shared electrode; when the rotating member rotates to the preset position, the shared electrode is connected to the electronic switch.

[0055] Based on the use of the above shared electrode, the processor can control the electronic switch to connect the shared electrode to the ECG sensor; the processor can also control the electronic switch to connect the shared electrode to the bio-impedance sensor.

[0056] Taking the example that the ECG sensor requires 3 conductive electrodes to collect ECG data and the bio-impedance sensor requires 4 conductive electrodes to collect impedance data, the conductive electrode includes the first conductive electrode, the second conductive electrode, the third conductive electrode, and the fourth conductive electrode.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is the first electrode sharing circuit schematic diagram provided by the embodiment of the present application. The first conductive electrode, the second conductive electrode, and the third conductive electrode are all shared electrodes. When the rotating member rotates to the preset position, the fourth conductive electrode is connected to the bio-impedance sensor. The ECG sensor can use the first conductive electrode, the second conductive electrode, and the third conductive electrode to collect ECG data, and the bio-impedance sensor can use the first conductive electrode, the second conductive electrode, the third conductive electrode, and the fourth conductive electrode to collect impedance data.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 3 ,Figure 3 This is the schematic diagram of the second electrode multiplexing circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application. The first conductive electrode, the second conductive electrode, the third conductive electrode, and the fourth electrode are all multiplexing electrodes. The ECG sensor can collect ECG data by using any three of the first conductive electrode, the second conductive electrode, the third conductive electrode, and the fourth conductive electrode. The bio-impedance sensor can collect impedance data by using the first conductive electrode, the second conductive electrode, the third conductive electrode, and the fourth conductive electrode. As a feasible implementation manner, in Figure 3 the manner shown, when it is necessary to control the connection between the conductive electrode and the ECG sensor, the electronic switch can control the first conductive electrode, the second conductive electrode, and the third conductive electrode to be connected to the ECG sensor respectively; when it is necessary to control the connection between the conductive electrode and the bio-impedance sensor, the electronic switch can control the first conductive electrode, the second conductive electrode, and the third conductive electrode to be connected to the bio-impedance sensor respectively. The above wrist-worn device further includes a main board, the main board is provided with a conductive elastic member connected to the electronic switch, and a second conductive elastic member connected to the bio-impedance sensor. The housing of the wrist-worn device is provided with a first opening and a second opening. When the rotating member rotates to a preset position, the first conductive elastic member passes through the first opening and is connected to the third conductive electrode, and the second conductive elastic member passes through the second opening and is connected to the fourth conductive electrode. By the above method, the vital sign data sensor can collect data through the conductive electrode only when the rotating member rotates to the preset position, which improves the reliability of detection. The above first conductive elastic member and the second conductive elastic member can be conductive elastic sheets or conductive elastic thimbles.

[0059] In Figure 2 and Figure 3 the electrode multiplexing circuit shown, the processor can send a control signal to the electronic switch according to the rotation position of the rotating member, so that the electronic switch switches the normally open contact NO (normal open) and the normally closed contact NC (normal close), thereby adjusting the connection between the conductive electrode and the ECG sensor and the bio-impedance sensor. Further, the above first conductive electrode and the second conductive electrode can be arranged at the wearing contact part of the wrist-worn device, such as the lower surface of the lower shell of the wrist-worn device; the third conductive electrode and the fourth conductive electrode can be arranged at the non-wearing contact part of the wrist-worn device, such as the rotating member, the button, the wristband, the upper surface of the upper shell, the lower surface of the upper shell, etc. The wearing contact part is the part where the wrist-worn device contacts the user's body when the wrist-worn device is worn, and the non-wearing contact part is the part where the wrist-worn device does not contact the user's body when the wrist-worn device is worn.

[0060] As for Figure 1For further introduction of the corresponding embodiment, the steps implemented when the processor calls the computer program in the memory further include: if a custom instruction input by the user is received, the target operation corresponding to the preset position is updated according to the custom instruction; wherein, the target operation is an operation performed when no body composition detection instruction input by the user is received and the rotating member rotates to the preset position.

[0061] In the above manner, the operation implemented when the rotating member rotates to the preset position can be customized by the user. For example, if the user updates the target operation corresponding to the preset position to the ECG data acquisition operation through a custom instruction, if no body composition detection instruction input by the user is received and the rotating member rotates to the preset position, the operations performed include: controlling the electronic switch to connect the conductive electrode to the ECG sensor, and using the ECG sensor to collect ECG data through the conductive electrode. If the user updates the target operation corresponding to the preset position to the impedance data acquisition operation through a custom instruction, if the rotating member rotates to the preset position, the operations performed include: controlling the electronic switch to connect the conductive electrode to the bioimpedance sensor, and using the bioimpedance sensor to collect impedance data through the conductive electrode. If the user updates the target operation corresponding to the preset position to the body temperature data acquisition operation through a custom instruction, if the rotating member rotates to the preset position, the operations performed include: controlling the electronic switch to connect the conductive electrode to the temperature sensor, and using the temperature sensor to collect body temperature data through the conductive electrode.

[0062] As a feasible implementation manner, the steps implemented when the processor calls the computer program in the memory further include: if a body composition detection instruction input by the user is received, controlling the electronic switch to connect the conductive electrode to the bioimpedance sensor; determining whether the impedance data collected by the bioimpedance sensor is valid data; if so, controlling the memory to store the impedance data collected by the bioimpedance sensor; if not, controlling the display screen to display a prompt message; wherein, the prompt message includes information prompting the finger pressing position, and / or, information prompting to rotate the rotating member to the preset position. The above embodiment can guide the user to perform impedance data detection after the user inputs the body composition detection instruction, and can help users who are not familiar with the impedance data acquisition function to complete the operation, improving the user experience.

[0063] The above embodiment is illustrated below by a watch with a vital sign data detection function in actual application. When the above wrist-worn device can be a watch, the rotating member is the bezel of the watch.

[0064] The above-mentioned watch may include a processor, a graphics processor, a memory, a wireless communication module, a motion sensor, a position detection sensor, an ECG sensor, a bioimpedance sensor, conductive electrodes, and a bezel (equivalent to the rotating member mentioned above). The ECG sensor can measure ECG data through three conductive electrodes: LA (Left Arm), RA (Right Arm), and RLD (Right Leg Driver). Two conductive electrodes, LA and RLD, are placed on the bottom case of the watch, and the conductive electrode RA is placed on the bezel or the button. If the user wears the watch on the left hand, the left wrist contacts the conductive electrodes LA and RLD, and the right finger presses the conductive electrode RA on the bezel or the button. In this way, the ECG sensor can measure the user's ECG data, which can be processed by the processor and then displayed as the user's electrocardiogram on the display screen or the mobile phone. The bioimpedance sensor measures the body impedance through four electrodes: FIR, FVR, FIL, and FVL. Based on the measured impedance data and combined with information such as the user's age, gender, height, and weight, the processor can calculate physical signs information such as the user's body fat percentage, water percentage, and muscle mass through a body composition algorithm. Taking Figure 2 the structure shown as an example, RLD and FIL can correspond to the first conductive electrode, LA and FVL can correspond to the second conductive electrode, RA and FIR can correspond to the third conductive electrode, and FVR corresponds to the fourth conductive electrode. The first conductive electrode, the second conductive electrode, and the third conductive electrode can simultaneously serve as measurement electrodes for both ECG data and impedance data. The processor controls the connection of the first conductive electrode, the second conductive electrode, and the third conductive electrode to the ECG sensor or the bioimpedance sensor respectively through an electronic switch.

[0065] Furthermore, the housing and the display screen of the watch can be fixed components on the watch. The bezel is assembled to the housing through a positioning connection mechanism such as a buckle, and the bezel can rotate relative to the housing and the display screen. A rotation mark can be set on the bezel to indicate the rotation position of the bezel; there are gear marks on the cover glass of the display screen or the housing to indicate the rotation position of the bezel relative to the housing. Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 which is a schematic diagram of a gear mark on a housing provided by an embodiment of the present application. Each of the first position and the second position corresponds to a gear mark. Figure 4 In [the figure], 401 is the rotation mark of the bezel, 402 is the gear mark corresponding to the first position of the housing, 403 is the gear mark corresponding to the second position of the housing, and 404 is the button on the housing.

[0066] The watch dial defaults to display the current time. When the user rotates the bezel, when the bezel rotates to the first position (i.e., the preset position in the above text), the change in magnetic induction intensity detected by the three-axis Hall sensor > the preset threshold T (taking into account preventing false triggering of slight rotation, in this embodiment, this threshold is set to T = 200uT), and an interrupt signal is output to wake up the processor. After the processor detects the interrupt and sensor data sent by the three-axis Hall sensor, it determines that the bezel has rotated to the first position in the current state, and the processor enters the corresponding physical sign detection function, which includes an electrocardiogram measurement function and a body composition measurement function. When the bezel rotates to the second position, the change in magnetic induction intensity detected by the three-axis Hall sensor > the preset threshold T, and an interrupt signal is output to wake up the processor. After the processor detects the interrupt and sensor data sent by the three-axis Hall sensor, it determines that the bezel has rotated to the second position in the current state, and the processor can enter other modes such as a motion detection mode and a flight mode.

[0067] If the user rotates the bezel to the gear identifier corresponding to the first position of the housing, it can be determined at this time that the bezel has rotated to the first position, and the electrocardiogram measurement function is started. After the bezel rotates to the first position, if a body composition detection instruction is received from the user, the body composition detection function is started.

[0068] After starting the electrocardiogram measurement function, the processor controls the electronic switch, and then connects the conductive electrodes of the bezel and the case to the ECG sensor, so that the ECG sensor can collect ECG data. The processor can control the display screen to display the screen of the ECG measurement state, save the ECG data collected by the ECG sensor in the memory, and draw an electrocardiogram on the display screen at the same time. After the processor collects sufficient ECG data through the ECG sensor, it can prompt the user that the measurement is completed, and send the ECG data to the mobile phone APP via Bluetooth. The user can use the mobile phone APP to view the complete electrocardiogram of this measurement and generate analysis and suggestions for the electrocardiogram. After starting the body composition detection function, the processor controls the conductive electrode switching circuit, and then connects the conductive electrodes of the bezel and the case to the bioimpedance sensor, so that the bioimpedance sensor can collect impedance data. The processor can save the impedance data collected by the bioimpedance sensor in the memory, and run the body composition algorithm to calculate the current body composition information of the user from the impedance data.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5Schematic diagram of a conductive electrode connection method for a watch provided by an embodiment of the present application. The watch includes a bezel 510, an insulating partition 520, an upper case 530, a bottom case 531, a button 540, a first conductive elastic member 550 and a second conductive elastic member 551 located on the upper case, a first conductive electrode 560, a second conductive electrode 561, a third conductive electrode 562, a fourth conductive electrode 563, an electrode contact 570 of the third conductive electrode, and an electrode contact 571 of the fourth conductive electrode. The outer surface and the inner surface of the heart rate lens sapphire glass on the bottom case of the watch are plated with a connected conductive film, and the first conductive electrode and the second conductive electrode can be the above-mentioned conductive film. The outer surface of the heart rate lens is at the position where the watch contacts the wrist skin. The inner surface of the heart rate lens is connected to the main board through a conductive elastic member or other conductive materials with good electrical conductivity. The ECG sensor, the bio-impedance sensor, and related circuit devices are located on the main board. In this way, an electronic path is formed between the wrist skin, the first conductive electrode, and the second conductive electrode, and the ECG sensor and the bio-impedance sensor. The third conductive electrode and the fourth conductive electrode can be the outer surface of the metal bezel. There is an insulating partition between the third conductive electrode and the fourth conductive electrode, and the outer surface of a complete bezel is divided into two conductive electrodes by two insulating partitions. Except for the electrode contact area, an insulating layer is plated on the inner surface of the metal bezel, and only the electrode contacts retain good electrical conductivity. When the bezel rotates to the set first position or second position, the main board passes through the opening at the corresponding position of the upper case through the conductive elastic member and contacts the electrode contacts at the corresponding position of the bezel. In this way, an electronic path is formed between the finger skin, the third conductive electrode, and the fourth conductive electrode, and the ECG sensor and the bio-impedance sensor.

[0070] As a feasible implementation manner, the position detection sensor in the above watch can be a three-axis Hall sensor. The three-axis Hall sensor is placed on the main board below the bezel. Magnets can be buried at specific positions in the bezel. During the rotation of the bezel with the magnets, the magnetic field data collected by the three-axis Hall sensor changes, and thus the detection of the rotation position of the bezel can be realized. The three-axis Hall sensor can detect changes in the magnetic fields of the surrounding X, Y, and Z axes and can send an interrupt signal to the processor according to the set magnetic field change threshold. The minimum change in the single-axis magnetic induction intensity that the three-axis Hall sensor can detect is 3 uT.

[0071] Further, in this embodiment, magnets can be embedded in the bezel according to the number and positions of the trigger gears. The sizes, positions, and numbers of the magnets, as well as the placement positions of the three-axis Hall sensors on the main board, can also be adjusted according to actual application requirements. For example, the first position of the watch is at the position corresponding to 9 o'clock, and the second position is at the position corresponding to 11 o'clock. The gear markings on the housing include the default gear marking corresponding to the 9 o'clock position, the first gear marking corresponding to the 11 o'clock position, and the second gear marking corresponding to the 7 o'clock position. The three-axis Hall sensor can be placed near the projection of the default gear marking on the main board. The sizes, numbers, and positions of the magnets all affect the magnetic induction intensity around the three-axis Hall sensor. Therefore, in this embodiment, the sizes, numbers, and positions of the magnets can be adjusted so that there are obvious differences in the magnetic induction intensities of the X, Y, and Z axes when the three-axis Hall sensor detects that the rotation marking rotates to the default position, the first position, and the second position respectively. In this embodiment, one large magnet can be embedded at the 9 o'clock position of the bezel, and multiple small magnets can be embedded in the interval from 7 o'clock to 11 o'clock. This embodiment can calibrate the magnetic field trigger thresholds, trigger regions, and anti-misoperation thresholds for the three gears at 7 o'clock, 9 o'clock, and 11 o'clock. The magnetic field trigger threshold refers to the magnetic field intensity threshold for determining that the rotation marking on the bezel rotates to a certain gear marking. The trigger region refers to the region corresponding to the bezel rotation position where the rotation marking on the bezel rotates to a certain gear marking (for example, if the rotation marking on the bezel points to the region from 6:40 to 7:20, it is determined that the rotation marking rotates to the second position corresponding to 7 o'clock). The anti-misoperation threshold is a safety margin set to prevent confusion in the recognition of multiple gear markings. Taking the second gear marking corresponding to 7 o'clock as an example, the magnetic induction intensities of the X, Y, and Z axes at 20 minutes to the left and right of the second gear marking corresponding to 7 o'clock can be marked, that is, the magnetic induction intensities M720x, M720y, M720z at the 7:20 position, and the magnetic induction intensities M640x, M640y, M640z at the 6:40 position. In the same way, the magnetic induction intensities of the X, Y, and Z axes at 20 degrees to the left and right of the default gear marking corresponding to the 9 o'clock position are marked. The magnetic induction intensities M920x, M920y, M920z at the 9:20 position, and the magnetic induction intensities M840x, M840y, M840z at the 8:40 position. To prevent mis-triggering, the sizes and positions of the magnets are adjusted so that there is a sufficient safety margin between the magnetic induction intensity at the 8:40 position detected by the three-axis Hall sensor and the magnetic induction intensity at the 7:20 position. That is: |M840x - M720x| > △Mx, |M840y - M720y| > △My, |M840z - M720z| > △Mz. In this embodiment, △Mx = △My = △Mz = 200uT. △Mx is the X-axis safety margin, △My is the Y-axis safety margin, and △Mz is the Z-axis safety margin.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6The flowchart of a method for collecting physical signs data using a watch provided by an embodiment of the present application. The implementation process of this embodiment can be as follows: When the user rotates the bezel, if the change value of the magnetic induction intensity > the preset threshold T of the three-axis Hall sensor, the three-axis Hall sensor detects and triggers an output interrupt signal to wake up the processor; the processor reads the current three-axis magnetic induction intensity values of the three-axis Hall sensor to determine the rotation position of the bezel. If the bezel rotates to the first position, it enters the process of starting the electrocardiogram measurement function; if the bezel rotates to the second position, it enters the user-defined function, such as outdoor running, displaying a payment QR code, etc.; if the bezel rotates to other positions, the processor enters the sleep state and controls the three-axis Hall sensor to enter the low-power detection mode.

[0079] S706: After the processor determines that the bezel has returned to the default gear, it sends the ECG data in the memory to the mobile phone via Bluetooth, reminding the user that the current electrocardiogram measurement is completed, and asking the user to view the detailed ECG data in the mobile phone APP.

[0080] S707: The processor turns off the electronic switch and the ECG sensor.

[0087] S805: The processor controls the display screen to remind the user to press the thumb and index finger on the two electrodes of the bezel and rotate the bezel to the preset position.

[0088] S806: The processor determines whether the bezel is rotated to the preset position through the Hall sensor; if so, it proceeds to S807; if not, it proceeds to S805.

[0089] S807: The processor controls the bio-impedance sensor to enter the measurement mode and determines the validity of the collected data; if so, it proceeds to S808; if not, it proceeds to S805.

[0090] S808: The processor stores the impedance data collected by the bio-impedance sensor in the memory.

[0091] S809: After the amount of data stored in the memory meets the algorithm requirements, the processor runs the body composition algorithm to calculate the user's current body composition information.

[0092] S810: The processor controls the display screen to prompt that the current body composition data collection is completed, and asks the user to rotate the bezel back to the default position.

[0093] S811: After the processor determines that the bezel has returned to the default position, it reminds the user that the current measurement is completed and displays the current body composition measurement result.

[0094] S812: The processor turns off the electronic switch.

[0095] S813: The processor turns off the bio-impedance sensor.

[0096] After the user selects the body composition detection function, the above embodiments can guide the user to perform body composition detection, which can help users unfamiliar with the body composition detection function complete the body composition detection and improve the user experience.
