An apparatus, method, and medium of measuring skin hydration using a mobile terminal such as a cell phone are provided. The apparatus for measuring skin hydration, which is included in a mobile terminal, includes: a voltage applying unit which receives a power from a power source included in the mobile terminal, and applies a single power source voltage to a measuring portion; a current measuring unit which measures a current flowing through the measuring portion where the voltage is applied; a voltage amplifier which is input the measured current through a resistor, and amplifies a voltage across the resistor; a control unit which controls an output voltage of the voltage amplifier to be in predetermined range; and a calculating unit which calculates a susceptance of the measuring portion using the output voltage of the voltage amplifier, and calculates the skin hydration of the measuring portion using the calculated susceptance. Accordingly, skin hydration is measured using a single power source having a narrow voltage range used in a mobile terminal, so that a user can measure his or her skin condition at anytime and anyplace.

A method of estimating stress caused by an exercise includes receiving questionnaire data including body measurements from a user, measuring health measurement data, deducing an exercise target and an exercise prescription based on the received and measured data, and transmitting the exercise target and exercise prescription to the user. The questionnaire data is then received back from the user, including the body measurements from the user and measuring again the health measurements data.; Parameters are designed based on the received and re-received questionnaire data and the measured and re-measured health measurement data and the parameters are converted to predetermined values. A regression analysis model is designed for estimating the exercise stress using the parameters and performing regression analysis and the exercise stress estimated through the regression analysis is transmitted to the user.

A rising-alarm generating apparatus, medium, and method. The rising-alarm generating apparatus may include a sound collecting unit to collect peripheral sounds, a sleeping-sound extracting unit to extract a sleeping sound from the collected sounds, a signal converting unit to convert the extracted sleeping sound into a digital signal, a sleeping-sound comparing unit to compare the converted sleeping sound with a stored sleeping sound sample to check for similarities, an alarm-signal output unit to output a rising-alarm signal for waking the user, and an alarm-signal-output control unit to control the output of the alarm-signal output unit in accordance with the comparison result of the sleeping-sound comparing unit. As a result, it is possible to wake a user by monitoring the sleeping state of the user, and it is also possible to prevent snoring and sleep apnea.
摘要:
A bus arrangement is provided including a master device and a slave device. A master converts a read command into a write command and sends the write command through a bus network within the bus arrangement and a slave device converts the write command back to the read command and sends a response. The response is sent on a bus not included within the bus network, thereby reducing a response delay time between the transmission of the read command and the response to the read command.
