Abstract:
An optical sensor and an electronic device having an optical sensor. The optical sensor includes: an optical waveguide containing a photochromic material; a light emitter that emits visible light to be incident on the optical waveguide; and a light receiver that detects the visible light emitted from the light emitter and progressing through the optical waveguide. A transmittance of the optical waveguide in relation to the visible light may be changed by the photochromic material as the optical waveguide is exposed to UV light. The optical sensor and the electronic device having the same may be variously implemented according to exemplary embodiments.
Abstract:
Wearable electronic devices, systems, and methods for monitoring sleep are described. In one method, motion sensor values of the current motion of the electronic device are acquired and the change in motion intensity of an electronic device is calculated by comparing motion sensor values over two or more time periods. If the change in motion intensity fits a predetermined pattern, it is determined whether the electronic device is currently being worn. If it is determined that the electronic device is currently being worn, sleep monitoring is performed.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for measuring a biometric signal by an electronic device. An object having an animation effect for inhalation and exhalation is displayed. The animation effect includes the object being expanded to guide the inhalation of a user and the object being contracted to guide exhalation of the user. A sensor unit obtains at least one biometric signal related to a heart rate of the user while the object is displayed. A motion of the electronic device is detected having a strength that is greater than or equal to a threshold strength. Based on the motion ceasing before exceeding a predetermined time, display of the object and obtaining of the at least one biometric signal is continued. Based on the motion lasting longer than or equal to the predetermined time, the obtaining of the at least one biometric signal and the displaying of the object is terminated.
