ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR OBTAINING BIOMETRIC INFORMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18347951 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR OBTAINING BIOMETRIC INFORMATION
Simplified Explanation
An electronic device is described in this patent application. The device includes an optical sensor, a memory, and a processor that is connected to the optical sensor and the memory. The processor emits light onto a specific section of a user's body and controls the optical sensor to receive the light reflected from that body part. The processor then analyzes the received light to obtain multiple optical signals with different wavelengths from the specified section. By comparing the similarities between at least two of these optical signals, the processor obtains similarity information. Based on this information, the processor can identify the specified section as abnormal.
- The electronic device includes an optical sensor, memory, and processor.
- The processor emits light onto a user's body part in a specified section.
- The processor controls the optical sensor to receive the reflected light.
- The processor obtains multiple optical signals with different wavelengths from the received light.
- The processor compares the similarities between at least two of these optical signals.
- The processor identifies the specified section as abnormal based on the obtained similarity information.
