Vital signal measuring watch and method for measuring vital signal
First Claim
1. A vital signal measuring watch comprising:
- a watch module having a shape of a wrist watch, the watch module comprising a device receiving portion at one side of the watch module and a communication port in the device receiving portion; and
a vital signal sensor connected to or disconnected from the device receiving portion, the vital signal sensor being connected to the communication port when the vital signal sensor is connected to the device receiving portion, and configured to transmit biometric data obtained by measuring vital signals to the communication port,wherein the vital signal sensor is configured to generate an interrupt plug-in event to transmit the event to the watch module when the vital signal sensor is connected to the communication port, andthe watch module is configured to count a number of interrupts of the transmitted interrupt plug-in event, automatically recognize a communication protocol supported by the vital signal sensor according to the number of interrupts, and dynamically activate a communication interface to correspond to the recognized communication protocol to receive the biometric data from the vital signal sensor.
