ELECTRONIC DEVICE, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18560595 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND PROGRAM
The abstract describes an electronic device that uses transmission and reception antennas along with a controller to detect a subject's heartbeat by analyzing reflected waves.
- The device includes a transmission antenna that sends out a transmission wave.
- A reception antenna receives the reflected wave, which is the transmission wave that has bounced back.
- The controller identifies the subject's heartbeat by analyzing the transmission and reception signals.
- By forming a beam of the transmission wave towards the subject, the device can accurately detect the subject's heartbeat.
Potential Applications: - Medical monitoring devices - Fitness trackers - Security systems
Problems Solved: - Non-invasive heartbeat monitoring - Remote monitoring of vital signs
Benefits: - Real-time monitoring of heartbeats - Improved accuracy in detecting heart rate - Convenient and non-invasive method of monitoring health
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Heartbeat Monitoring Technology for Healthcare and Security Systems" This technology can be used in various industries such as healthcare, fitness, and security for accurate and non-invasive monitoring of heartbeats.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology compare to traditional methods of heartbeat monitoring? This technology offers a non-invasive and convenient way to monitor heartbeats remotely, providing real-time data without the need for physical contact.
2. What are the potential privacy concerns associated with using this technology in security systems? Privacy concerns may arise regarding the collection and storage of personal health data, especially in security systems where monitoring individuals' vital signs may raise ethical questions.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes a transmission antenna, a reception antenna, and a controller. The transmission antenna transmits a transmission wave. The reception antenna receives a reflected wave that is the transmission wave having been reflected. The controller detects a heartbeat of a subject that reflects the transmission wave, based on a transmission signal transmitted as the transmission wave and a reception signal received as the reflected wave. The controller forms a beam of the transmission wave in a direction of the subject to detect a heartbeat of the subject.
