Automatic blood pressure measuring instrument and method thereof
First Claim
1. An automatic blood pressure measuring instrument for measuring and displaying a blood pressure of a subject, comprising:
- a pressure sensor for obtaining a pulse wave from a wrist of the subject;
a pulse wave signal processing section for amplifying, filtering and noise-removing the pulse wave applied from the pressure sensor;
an electrocardiogram monitor for measuring a systolic blood pressure and a diastolic blood pressure and converting the measured results into electrical signals;
an electrocardiogram signal processing section for amplifying, filtering and noise-removing the converted electrocardiogram measurement signals applied from the electrocardiogram monitor;
an A/D converting section for converting the AC signals, which are applied from both the pulse wave signal processing section and the electrocardiogram signal processing section, into DC signals;
a controlling section for comparing and analyzing the pulse wave signal and the electrocardiogram signals applied through the A/D converting section to operate the blood pressure of the subject; and
a display for displaying the blood pressure of the subject operated at the controlling section.

Abstract
Disclosed is an automatic blood pressure measuring instrument and method designed to obtain a pulse wave signal and electrocardiogram (ECG) signals from a pressure sensor and an ECG monitor, to analyze correlation between both signals, to operate a maximum blood pressure and a minimum blood pressure based on the analyzed data, and to output the operated result to a display. The automatic blood pressure measuring instrument comprises a pressure sensor for obtaining a pulse wave from a wrist of the subject, a pulse wave signal processing section for amplifying, filtering and noise-removing the pulse wave applied from the pressure sensor, an electrocardiogram monitor for measuring a systolic blood pressure and a diastolic blood pressure and converting the measured results into electrical signals, an electrocardiogram signal processing section for amplifying, filtering and noise-removing the converted electrocardiogram measurement signals applied from the electrocardiogram monitor, an A/D converting section for converting the AC signals, which are applied from both the pulse wave signal processing section and the electrocardiogram signal processing section, into DC signals, a controlling section for comparing and analyzing the pulse wave signal and the electrocardiogram signals applied through the A/D converting section to operate the blood pressure of the subject, and a display for displaying the blood pressure of the subject operated at the controlling section.

9. An automatic blood pressure measuring method for measuring a blood pressure from a wrist of a subject in a non-invasive method, comprising the steps of:
-
obtaining, amplifying and filtering a pulse wave from the wrist of the subject;
measuring a systolic blood pressure and a diastolic blood pressure, and converting the measured results into electrical signals, and amplifying and filtering the converted results;
converting AC signals of the pulse wave and the electrocardiogram into DC signals after the amplifying and filtering steps;
comparing the pulse wave and electrocardiogram signals converted at the converting step to operate the blood pressure of the subject; and
displaying the blood pressure operated in the operating step. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
