Abstract

The present invention discloses a MP3 player capable of transmitting pulse data that includes a casing, a voltage detecting unit, two sets of left and right hand electrodes, a digital signal processor, a flash memory, an earphone, a plurality of input keys and a USB interface to achieve the functions of analyzing and evaluating a user'"'"'s exercise and physiological conditions, in addition to the function of listening to music anywhere.

Claims

1. A MP3 player capable of transmitting pulse data, comprising:

a) a casing made of a non-conducting material and having an LCD display device disposed at the front of the casing;

b) a voltage detecting unit installed in the casing for detecting a voltage frequency change of a human body caused by blood circulation;

c) a set of right hand electrode having a first conductive rubber and a second conductive rubber respectively disposed at an upper surface and a lower surface on the right side of the casing, and electrically coupled to the voltage detecting unit in the casing for touching and pressing two fingers of a user'"'"'s right hand;

d) a set of left hand electrode having a third conductive rubber and a fourth conductive rubber respectively disposed at an upper surface and a lower surface on the left side of the casing, and electrically coupled to the voltage detecting unit in the casing for touching and pressing two fingers of a user'"'"'s left hand, and the third conducing rubber being coupled with the second conductive rubber to form a common contact point wherein the left and right hand electrodes are coupled separately to three inductors of the voltage detecting unit for sending a measured voltage frequency change after going through an electrostatic charge filter to a filtering and shaping and amplifying circuit to obtain a signal;

e) a digital signal processor for receiving a signal transmitted by the voltage detecting unit, and accumulating the signal to obtain a user'"'"'s pulse (heartbeat) value;

f) a flash memory having a partitioned memory block with at least one area for storing an Auto Run program and another area for being used as general memories for storing an audio data and producing an audio signal after decoding by the digital signal processor;

g) an earphone for converting an audio signal outputted from the digital signal processor into a sound;

h) a power supply unit installed in the casing for supplying electric power required by each of the foregoing elements;

i) a plurality of input keys disposed at the surface of the casing for users to operate and send an instruction to the digital signal processor; and

j) a USB interface installed at a side of the casing and electrically coupled to the digital signal processor, such that when the USB interface is connected to a personal computer, an Auto Run program pre-stored in the flash memory can automatically send the pulse data accumulated in a predetermined time by a user to an operating system of the personal computer, so as to facilitate recording and analyzing a user'"'"'s physiological conditions.

2. The MP3 player capable of transmitting pulse data as recited in claim 1, wherein the casing further comprises a microphone (MIC) plug hole.

3. The MP3 player capable of transmitting pulse data as recited in claim 1, wherein the USB interface is in a form of a male connector protruded from a side of the casing.

4. The MP3 player capable of transmitting pulse data as recited in claim 1, wherein the USB interface is in a form of a female connector concavely disposed on a side of the casing.

5. The MP3 player capable of transmitting pulse data as recited in claim 1, wherein the power supply unit includes a battery.
