Physiology sensing apparatus with navigation capability
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A physiology sensing apparatus with navigation capability, comprising:
- a signal processor processing a filtered signal and outputting a digital signal;
a filter device physically coupled to the signal processor, and issuing the filtered signal to the signal processor;
a GPS module coupled to the filter device, receiving satellite positioning signals and issuing a first orientation signal to the filter device;
a magnetic sensing module, coupled to the filter device, measuring the variations of geomagnetic strength and issuing a second orientation signal to the filter device;
an inertial sensing module, coupled to the filter device, issuing a gesture signal to the filter device wherein the inertial sensing module generates the gesture signal by detecting a specific body gesture of a user, and generating a third orientation signal in response to a reallocation of the user;
a bio sensing module coupled to the filter device, sensing a physical status of the user and issuing a bio signal to the filter device; and
an alarming device coupled to the signal processor, and receiving the digital signal from the signal processor;
wherein the filter device issues the filtered signal by filtering noises of a first orientation signal, a second orientation signal, a third orientation signal, a gesture signal, and a bio signal; and
the alarming device issues an alarm signal after evaluating the digital signal.

Abstract
A physiology sensing apparatus with navigation capability is disclosed, which integrates therein a GPS module, a magnetic sensor, an inertial sensing module, and a bio sensing module so as to acquire signals relating to a user'"'"'s coordinate position, physical condition, body movement, and so on, and then the acquired signals can be purified by filter devices so as to reduce the interference of noise, thereafter, processes the filtered signal by a signal processor and an alarming device so as to simultaneously obtain the information of user'"'"'s location, physical condition, and whether the user is in danger or having an accident.
