WEARABLE ELECTRONIC APPARATUS INCLUDING A BACK COVER STRUCTURE CONSIDERING OPTICAL SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18353473 titled 'WEARABLE ELECTRONIC APPARATUS INCLUDING A BACK COVER STRUCTURE CONSIDERING OPTICAL SENSOR

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic apparatus with a sensor for detecting biometric information.

  • The electronic apparatus includes a sensor with a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit.
  • A transparent layer covers the sensor and allows light emitted from the light emitting unit to pass through for detecting biometric information.
  • Another transparent layer allows light to enter the light receiving unit.
  • A cover with partition walls made of a different plastic material separates the two transparent layers.
  • A processor processes the signal received through the light receiving unit to acquire the biometric information.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes a sensor that includes a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit, a transparent layer that includes a first transparent layer including first plastic having light transmittance, disposed to cover the sensor, and transmitting light emitted from the light emitting unit for detecting a signal related to biometric information, and a second transparent layer transmitting light entering the light receiving unit, a cover that includes at least one partition wall including second plastic having lower light transmittance than the first plastic and separating the first transparent layer and the second transparent layer from each other, and a processor that acquires the biometric information based on the signal related to the biometric information received through the light receiving unit.
