Abstract
A method for obtaining a heart rate value by an optical sensing apparatus includes: receiving, by a first calculator in a processor and from a light receiver, a PPG signal; receiving, by a second calculator in the processor and from a motion sensor, a motion signal; determining, by the first calculator, a first heart rate value; determining, by the first calculator, a validity indicator according to the PPG signal; and determining, by the second calculator, a second heart rate value according to the PPG signal and the motion signal. When the validity indicator is determined to satisfy a predetermined requirement, the processor outputs the first heart rate value as the heart rate value. When the validity indicator is determined to not satisfy the predetermined requirement, the processor outputs the second heart rate value as the heart rate value.
