Abstract
The present invention is directed to a biometric sensor system 100 for measuring one or more physical or behavioral characteristic of a user, which system comprises: an information presenting unit 20 provided with a first sound presenting unit 22 and a second sound presenting unit 24 for operatively presenting sounds to a user, a portable device 10 provided with a sound producing unit 11, 40, 44, 46 for producing sounds to said sound presenting units 22, 24, and a biometric control unit 42 for controlling said measurement. The information presenting unit 20 comprises at least a first biometric sensor unit 32 and a second biometric sensor unit 32′ arranged to operatively enable a differential measurement of one or more physical or behavioral characteristic of a user, and the biometric control unit 42 is arranged to operatively control the biometric sensor units 32, 32′ so as to provide a differential measurement.

52. A method of measuring a physical or behavioral characteristic of a user using a biometric sensor system including an information presenting unit provided with first and second sound presenting units and first and second biometric sensor units, a portable device provided with a third biometric sensor unit and a sound producing unit to provide sound to the sound presenting units, and a biometric control unit, the method comprising:
-
measuring the characteristic using a first signal from the first biometric sensor unit and a second signal from the second biometric sensor unit to generate a differential measurement of the physical or behavioral characteristic; performing another measurement of the physical or behavioral characteristic using a signal from the third biometric sensor unit; and outputting, using the biometric control unit, an average measurement of the physical or behavioral characteristic based on the other measurement and the differential measurement. - View Dependent Claims (53, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62)

63. A computer program product stored on a computer usable medium, comprising a readable program to cause a portable device to execute instructions, when said readable program is loaded in the portable device that includes an information presenting unit provided with first and second sound presenting units to present sounds to a user, a sound producing unit to provide sound to the sound presenting units, and a biometric control unit to control the measurement, the readable program comprising:
-
instructions to measure a characteristic of the user using at least a first biometric sensor unit and a second biometric sensor unit associated with the information presenting unit to generate a differential measurement; instructions to perform another measurement of the characteristic using a third biometric sensor unit associated with the portable device; and instructions to output, using the biometric control unit, an average measurement of the characteristic based on the other measurement and the differential measurement.
