Abstract:
An apparatus for estimating bio-information is provided. The apparatus for estimating bio-information includes: a pulse wave sensor configured to measure a pulse wave signal from an object; a force sensor configured to measure force exerted between the object and the pulse wave sensor; and a processor configured to obtain an oscillogram by using the pulse wave signal and the force, to determine a first mean arterial pressure (MAP) based on the obtained oscillogram, to extract additional information in an interval preceding a point of the first MAP of the oscillogram, to obtain a second MAP based on the first MAP and the additional information, and to estimate bio-information based on the obtained second MAP.
Abstract:
A wearable device and a communication method using the wearable device may include recognizing a gesture of a user by sensing at least one of a motion and a biosignal that occur in or around a portion of the user to which the wearable device is attached. A wireless communication connection is established for the wearable device with at least one of an external device, an internal device, or another wearable device based on the recognized gesture. Wireless communication is performed with at least one of the external device and the internal device with which the wireless communication connection is established.
Abstract:
A bio-signal measuring apparatus includes: a substrate; a pulse wave measurer provided at the substrate and configured to measure pulse waves of a subject; and a pressure measurer provided at the substrate and configured to measure a contact pressure between the subject and the pulse wave measurer.
Abstract:
A method of calculating an amount of exercise performed includes measuring noise based on a relative difference in displacement between a skin of a user and a sensor attached to the skin of the user, and determining a number of steps taken by the user based on the measured noise.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are configured to recognize mobile terminals positioned within a coverage area for short range communication with a user-specific device, wherein each mobile terminal comprises identification information for the user-specific device. The method and the apparatus provide a customized service corresponding to at least one of the mobile terminals.
Abstract:
A wearable biosignal interface and operation method of the wearable biosignal interface is provided wherein the wearable biosignal interface may perceive a motion unintentionally performed by a user and ignore a biosignal obtained thereby and thus, improve accuracy of a bio-based determination of an intention of the user for operating a device.
Abstract:
A wearable mobile device and a method of detecting a biosignal with a wearable mobile device are provided. A method of detecting a biosignal with a wearable mobile device involves determining whether a wearable mobile device is closely attached to a user; and providing a biosignal-based service in response to the wearable mobile device being determined to be closely attached to the user.
Abstract:
A presentation device and an method of operating the presentation device may quickly move to a desired area on a map by adjusting a level of an electromyographic (EMG) signal even though a range of a motion of an arm is limited when searching the map using a wearable mobile device. The presentation device includes a first sensor unit configured to contact a measurement target and to obtain an electromyographic (EMG) signal from the measurement target; and a display controller configured to control a field of view (FOV) window for displaying a map area based on the EMG signal.
Abstract:
Provided is a device for measuring a signal and a method of operating the same. The device may include electrodes attached to the device, and a control unit for determining the optimal pair of electrodes to be used for measuring the signal. Also, the device may include an output unit for measuring signals that are sensed by the electrodes.
