ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR DETECTING MOISTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17884990 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR DETECTING MOISTURE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device that includes a housing, a conductive frame, a movable electrode, a second electrode, and at least one processor. The device is able to identify whether the first electrode is electrically disconnected from the conductive frame, obtain information about the user's body through the electrodes, and refrain from obtaining the information if the first electrode is connected to the conductive frame.
- The electronic device includes a housing with a conductive frame and two surfaces.
- The conductive frame has a through-hole and the first electrode is movable within it.
- A part of the first electrode protrudes outside of the conductive frame.
- The second electrode is located on the second surface of the housing.
- The at least one processor is responsible for identifying the electrical connection status of the first electrode to the conductive frame.
- The processor obtains information about the user's body by utilizing the first and second electrodes.
- If the first electrode is electrically connected to the conductive frame, the processor refrains from obtaining the information.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Health monitoring devices that can gather information about the user's body through electrodes.
- Wearable devices that can track various physiological parameters.
- Fitness trackers that can measure heart rate, body temperature, or other vital signs.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensures accurate and reliable data collection by identifying if the electrode is properly connected.
- Prevents the device from obtaining inaccurate or misleading information.
- Improves user experience by providing more reliable measurements.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced accuracy in data collection for health monitoring purposes.
- Increased reliability of wearable devices in tracking physiological parameters.
- Improved user satisfaction by avoiding false or misleading readings.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing including a first surface, a second surface and a conductive frame disposed between the first surface and the second surface and including a through-hole, a first electrode is movable within the through-hole, a part of the first electrode protruding to outside of the conductive frame, a second electrode disposed on the second surface, and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to identify whether the first electrode is electrically disconnected to the conductive frame, obtain an information about the user' body through the first electrode and the second electrode, and refrain from obtaining the information based on identifying the first electrode is electrically connected to the conductive frame.
