Abstract:
Provided are light absorption spectrum correction devices, methods of manufacturing the light absorption spectrum correction devices, and methods of correcting a light absorption spectrum. The light absorption spectrum correction device includes: a light source configured to emit light; an attenuated total reflectance (ATR) crystal layer configured to contact a subject and provide an optical passage along which the light emitted from the light source travels to the subject; a pressure sensor configured to detect a contact pressure applied to the ATR crystal layer by the subject; a spectrum detector and analyzer configured to detect light emitted from the ATR crystal layer, form a light absorption spectrum based on the detected light, and determine an intensity of the light emitted from the ATR crystal layer; and a spectrum correction device configured to correct the light absorption spectrum based on the contact pressure.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for correcting an impedance measured by a sensor included in a wearable device are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, the methods includes: measuring, from an image including the wearable device and arms of a user, a first angle between a straight line connecting a left elbow joint of the user and a camera device for photographing the image and a straight line connecting the left elbow joint and the wearable device, a second angle between a straight line connecting the left elbow joint and the wearable device and a straight line connecting the wearable device and a right elbow joint of the user, a third angle between a straight line connecting the right elbow joint and the wearable device and a straight line connecting the right elbow joint and the camera device, and a fourth angle between a straight line connecting the right elbow joint and the camera device and a straight line connecting the left elbow joint and the camera device.
Abstract:
An apparatus for and method of detecting biological information. The apparatus for detecting biological information includes a supporting member that is attached to an object, a biosignal sensor that is configured to detect biological information of the object and mounted in the supporting member; and a plurality of position sensors configured to detect a position of the apparatus with respect to the object. The position sensors may detect position information of an area of the object where the apparatus is attached. Position data detected by the position sensors may be compared with reference position data.
Abstract:
An image processing method and an electronic device implementing the method are provided. The method includes the electronic device sequentially receiving an image captured by a camera and determining whether a frame of the received image satisfies a predetermined condition. If the predetermined condition is satisfied, the electronic device recognizes an object in the frame. Then the electronic device tracks the object in the frame through tracking data created based on a feature extracted from the recognized object.
Abstract:
A call management method, an associated mobile terminal, and a mobile terminal control method using a call status, and a related apparatus. A first status change information is created when a call connection for a first call is requested through a first call application. A second status change information is created when a second call connection for a new call is requested through a second call application on the condition that the first call being pre-established through the first call application is connected. After guide information created using the first status change information and the second status change information is outputted, an input of selection information regarding the guide information is received. At least one of the first and second call applications is a call application that performs a service for a packet switched (PS) call.
Abstract:
An electronic device for sleep monitoring and an operation method includes a communication circuit, at least one sensor, and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to obtain biometric information of a user during the user's sleep to determine a reference condition for detecting a sleep breathing disorder event based on underlying disease information of the user, and to detect a sleep breathing disorder event based on the biometric information and the reference condition. The processor provides a user interface for the sleep breathing disorder event as the sleep breathing disorder event is detected.
