WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18102937 titled 'WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a wearable electronic device that can sense a user's respiration using two sensors and estimate the user's respiration phase at a later time based on the sensed signals.
- The wearable device includes a sensor module with two sensors - one to sense a pulse wave based on the user's respiration and another to sense patterns corresponding to inhalation and exhalation.
- A processor in the device matches the respiratory characteristics of the two signals and estimates the user's respiration phase at a later time based on this matching.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Monitoring and tracking respiratory patterns and phases in medical settings.
- Assisting in the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory conditions.
- Providing feedback and guidance for breathing exercises and meditation practices.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a non-invasive and wearable solution for monitoring respiration.
- Offers a more accurate estimation of respiration phase at a later time, which can be useful in various applications.
- Allows for continuous monitoring of respiration without the need for manual input or intervention.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enables real-time monitoring and tracking of respiration without the need for bulky equipment.
- Provides valuable data for healthcare professionals to assess respiratory health and make informed decisions.
- Can be integrated into wearable devices for personal health monitoring and wellness applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
A wearable electronic device according to an embodiment includes: a sensor module including a first sensor configured to sense a first signal including a pulse wave based on a respiration of a user corresponding to a first time, the respiration including an inhalation and an exhalation, and a second sensor configured to sense a second signal including a first pattern corresponding to the inhalation and a second pattern corresponding to the exhalation. The wearable electronic device includes a processor configured to: match a first respiratory characteristic of the first signal and a second respiratory characteristic of the second signal based on a correlation between the first signal and the second signal, and estimate a respiration phase of the user corresponding to the second signal measured at a second time after the first time, based on the matched first and second respiratory characteristics.
