ELECTRONIC SPHYGMOMANOMETER
First Claim
1. An electronic sphygmomanometer comprising:
- a cuff that is worn on a measurement area;
an inflation and deflation unit that adjusts a pressure applied to the cuff;
a plurality of pressure sensors connected to the cuff;
a plurality of oscillation circuits, provided in correspondence to the respective plurality of pressure sensors, that output a square wave signal of a frequency based on pressures;
an oscillation circuit adjustment circuit, provided in common for the plurality of oscillation circuits, that allows the output from one of the plurality of oscillation circuits to pass; and
a control circuit that accepts an input of the square wave signal from the oscillation circuit adjustment circuit and calculates a blood pressure from the frequency of the square wave signal.

Abstract
A first oscillation circuit and a second oscillation circuit are connected to a first pressure sensor and a second pressure sensor, respectively, and oscillate based on the capacity values of the corresponding pressure sensors. The first oscillation circuit and the second oscillation circuit operate in response to instruction from a CPU. The one of the first oscillation circuit and the second oscillation circuit that has received an activation signal from the CPU outputs a signal having a frequency that corresponds to the capacity value of the corresponding pressure sensor. An adjustment circuit is connected to the first oscillation circuit and the second oscillation circuit, and allows one of the frequency signals to pass therethrough, outputting the signal to the CPU.
