An electronic device and method for measuring user body information are provided. The method for measuring user body information includes detecting a contact of a user's body portion on at least two spots of a touch screen of the electronic device, upon detecting the contact of the user's body portion on the at least two spots of the touch screen, applying power to a first coil in the electronic device, and measuring the user body information using at least one of a voltage and a second current measured after a first current is induced across the user's body by a first magnetic field generated from the first coil as the power is applied.

Electronic device for measuring information regarding human body and operating method thereof

An apparatus for measuring blood pressure, and a method for measuring blood pressure by using the same are disclosed. The disclosed method for measuring blood pressure comprises the steps of: calculating pulse wave transit time; measuring vascular compliance; and measuring systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure by using the pulse wave transit time and the vascular compliance, wherein the vascular compliance can be measured respectively in at least two or more different hand shape poses.

An oxygen saturation measuring apparatus is provided. The oxygen saturation measuring apparatus includes a sensor configured to detect motion of the oxygen saturation measuring apparatus, a light emitter comprising light emitting circuitry configured to emit light to a target subject, a light receiver comprising light receiving circuitry configured to receive one or more of light reflected by the target subject or light transmitted through the target subject to generate a signal, and a processor configured to filter a frequency component corresponding to the detected motion in the signal, to detect a pulse frequency from the filtered signal, and to determine oxygen saturation of the target subject using the filtered signal and the detected pulse frequency.

Oxygen saturation measuring apparatus and oxygen saturation measuring method thereof

A device includes a first sensor to generate a movement signal of a user movement; a second sensor to generate a PPG signal of the user; and a processor configured to set each of time periods as a predetermined amount of time to determine one sleeping state of the user, set a first part of the predetermined amount of time in each time period to emit the light, and set a remaining part of the predetermined amount of time in each time period to not emit the light, control the light emitter of the second sensor to emit the light in the first part of each time period and to not emit the light in the remaining part of each time period, and determine, for each time period, the sleeping state of the user based on the movement signal and the PPG signal that are generated for each time period.

Electronic device and control method thereof

An electronic device includes: a first sensor configured to generate a movement signal corresponding to a user movement; a second sensor configured to physically contact the user to generate a user bio-signal; a processor configured to determine a user sleeping state using the generated movement signal and the generated user bio-signal in each of time periods, and determine an operation state of another electronic device based on the determined sleeping state in respective time periods; and a communicator configured to transmit a control command corresponding to the determined operation state to the another electronic device.

Disclosed is a method for an electronic device. The method may include: acquiring a galvanic skin response; generating a first parameter for a first interval and a second parameter for a second interval based on the galvanic skin response, the second interval being an interval before the first interval; determining a first threshold corresponding to the first interval based on the second parameter; and determining an activity state of the first interval based on the first threshold and the first parameter corresponding to the first interval.
