Abstract:
Provided are an electronic device and method for providing information related to a skin type of an object. The electronic device includes: a camera configured to capture at least one image including a skin portion and a non-skin portion of an object; and a processor configured to determine at least one color ratio between the skin portion and the non-skin portion from the at least one image, and determine a skin type of the object based on the determined at least one color ratio.
Abstract:
An electronic device for determining an ultraviolet (UV) dose includes a memory, at least one non-UV sensor, a display, and a processor, coupled to the memory, the at least one non-UV sensor, and the display. The processor is configured to determine a context of the electronic device, obtain information of ambient light using one or more parameter sensed by the light sensor, estimate an ultraviolet (UV) dose based on the context of the electronic device and the information of ambient light, and control the display to output information of the UV dose.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes: a receiving unit for receiving a sensor signal for a body of a user from a wearable apparatus; a controller for classifying a physical activity of the user as one of a plurality of predefined activity models based on the received sensor signal, and generating prediction information about the body of the user based on a result of the classifying and profile information about the user; and an output device for outputting health care information to the user based on the prediction information.
Abstract:
A method and an electronic device for measuring blood pressure are provided. The method includes illuminating, by a PPG sensor included in the electronic device, skin of a user and measuring a PPG signal based on an illumination absorption by the skin. Further, the method also includes extracting, by the electronic device, a plurality of parameters from the PPG signal, wherein the parameters may comprise PPG features, Heart Rate Variability (HRV) features, Acceleration Plethysmograph (APG) features, and non-linear features. The method also includes estimating, by the electronic device, the BP based on the extracted plurality of parameters.
Abstract:
A system and a method for enabling a fingerprint registration on a mobile device are provided. The mobile device includes a fingerprint registration unit configured to receive at least one first image of a fingerprint input in a first orientation, receive at least one second image of the fingerprint input in a second orientation, and generate a fingerprint image by stitching the at least one first image with the at least one second image such that the first orientation and the second orientation are substantially perpendicular to each other.
