Abstract:
Provided are a wearable device and a method for controlling the same. The wearable device may include a distance sensor unit configured to output a first signal for determining a distance between a user and the wearable device and to receive the first signal reflected from the user. The wearable device may also include a biometric sensor unit configured to output a second signal for determining biometric information of the user and to receive the second signal reflected from the user, and a controller configured to determine the distance based on the received first signal and to obtain the biometric information of the user based on a change in an attribute of the received second signal. The controller may control the biometric sensor unit to output the second signal if the determined distance is equal to or less than a reference distance.
Abstract:
An electronic device for enhancing accuracy upon contactless body temperature measurement is provided. The electronic device includes an image sensor for obtaining an image of an object, a temperature sensor disposed at a position adjacent to the image sensor for measuring a temperature of the obtained object, and a controller for performing control to determine the temperature of the object using a focal length of a camera module including the image sensor corresponding to a time of obtaining the image of the object and a temperature output from the temperature sensor corresponding to the time of obtaining the image of the object.
Abstract:
An optical sensor and an electronic device having an optical sensor. The optical sensor includes: an optical waveguide containing a photochromic material; a light emitter that emits visible light to be incident on the optical waveguide; and a light receiver that detects the visible light emitted from the light emitter and progressing through the optical waveguide. A transmittance of the optical waveguide in relation to the visible light may be changed by the photochromic material as the optical waveguide is exposed to UV light. The optical sensor and the electronic device having the same may be variously implemented according to exemplary embodiments.
Abstract:
A portable blood pressure measuring apparatus and a method therefor are provided. A method for measuring blood pressure by an electronic device includes measuring a blood pressure of a user; measuring a Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) using a pulse wave and an ElectroCardioGram (ECG) signal of the user, wherein the pulse wave is measured by an optical sensor, and the ECG signal is measured by an ECG electrodes portion; and compensating the blood pressure using the PWV.
Abstract:
A blood glucose meter is provided. The blood glucose meter includes a body of the blood glucose meter, a lancing unit which is provided at one side of the body of the blood glucose meter and includes a lancet to puncture a skin in order to sample blood of a user, a sensor strip unit which is provided at another side of the body of the blood glucose meter which is different than the one side of the body at which the lancing unit is provided, the sensor strip unit being configured to sample the blood of the user, and a measurement unit which measures the blood sampled by the sensor strip unit. The blood glucose meter has the measurement unit which is integrally assembled with the body of the blood glucose meter and includes the lancing unit having the lancet and the sensor strip unit.
Abstract:
A bio-sensor configured with a lower substrate including a plurality of electrode portions, an insulating layer, a spacer layer, and an upper substrate provided on the spacer layer is provided. The bio-sensor includes a first sample injection portion provided between the upper substrate and the lower substrate along a longitudinal direction in which a sample is introduced and a second sample injection portion that is connected with the first sample injection portion in a direction substantially longitudinal direction, and formed larger than a sample inlet of the first sample injection portion.
