Apparatus and method for measuring quantity of exercise through film-type pressure sensor
First Claim
1. An apparatus for measuring exercise quantity, the apparatus comprising:
- a film-type pressure sensor which senses a pulse pressure of a body of a user;
a main body which calculates and displays a heart rate (HR) of the user and calories consumed by the user based on the HR; and
a band that is coupled to the main body and to which the film-type pressure sensor is attached.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for measuring exercise quantity through a film-type pressure sensor are provided. The apparatus for measuring exercise quantity through a film-type pressure sensor comprises a film-type pressure sensor to sense pulse pressure of a user'"'"'s body, a main body to calculate and display a heart rate (HR) and calories consumed based on the HR, and a band that is coupled to the main body and to which the film-type pressure sensor is attached. The band contains a first band portion which is coupled to the main body and a second band portion which contains the film-type pressure sensor and is coupled to the first band portion. The second band portion contains at least one projection to enhance the detection of the pulse pressure of the user.
