Abstract

A system for biomedical measurement with a voice notification feature includes a biomedical measurement device that generates a command based on at least one of a physiological signal obtained by the biomedical measurement device as a result of a measured physiological condition of a user, and an operation phase of the biomedical measurement device, and a mobile device that is coupled to and separate from the biomedical measurement device. The mobile device receives the command from the biomedical measurement device, generates a voice notification signal according to the command and pre-established voice data, and outputs audibly the voice notification signal.

Claims

1. A system for biomedical measurement with a voice notification feature, comprising:

a biomedical measurement device configured to generate a command based on at least one of a physiological signal obtained by said biomedical measurement device as a result of a measured physiological condition of a user, and an operation phase of said biomedical measurement device; and

a mobile device that is coupled to and separate from said biomedical measurement device, said mobile device being configured to receive the command from said biomedical measurement device, to generate a voice notification signal according to the command and pre-established voice data, and to output audibly the voice notification signal.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said mobile device is further configured to obtain the pre-established voice data from a server device.

3. The system as claimed in claim 2, wherein said mobile device is configured to obtain the pre-established voice data from the server device using one of radio frequency techniques and a physical connection.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said mobile device is configured to analyze the command received from said biomedical measurement device, to construct a notification syntax based on a result obtained from analysis of the command and corresponding grammar rules included in the pre-established voice data, and to generate the voice notification signal according to the notification syntax.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said mobile device is configured to obtain the command from said biomedical measurement device using one of radio frequency techniques and a physical connection.

11. A method for performing the voice notification feature of the system as claimed in claim 1, said method to be implemented by the mobile device of the system and comprising:

a) configuring the mobile device to receive a command from the biomedical measurement device of the system, the command being generated by the biomedical measurement device based on at least one of a physiological signal obtained by the biomedical measurement device as a result of a measured physiological condition of a user, and an operation phase of the biomedical measurement device;

b) configuring the mobile device to generate a voice notification signal according to the command received in step a) and pre-established voice data; and

c) configuring the mobile device to output audibly the voice notification signal generated in step b).

12. The method as claimed in claim 11, further comprising, prior to step b), configuring the mobile device to obtain the pre-established voice data from a server device.

13. The method as claimed in claim 12, wherein the mobile device is configured to obtain the pre-established voice data from the server device using one of radio frequency techniques and a physical connection.

14. The method as claimed in claim 11, wherein step b) includes:

b-1) configuring the mobile device to analyze the command received in step a);

b-2) configuring the mobile device to construct a notification syntax based on a result obtained in sub-step b-1) and corresponding grammar rules included in the pre-established voice data; and

b-3) configuring the mobile device to generate the voice notification signal according to the notification syntax constructed in sub-step b-2).

6. A mobile device adapted for use with a biomedical measurement device that is configured to receive a command generated by the biomedical measurement device based on at least one of a physiological signal obtained by the biomedical measurement device as a result of a measured physiological condition of a user, and an operation phase of the biomedical measurement device, said mobile device being separate from the biomedical measurement device and comprising:

a transceiver module for coupling to the biomedical measurement device so as to receive the command therefrom;

a voice processing module for generating a voice notification signal according to the command received by said transceiver module and pre-established voice data; and

an output module for outputting audibly the voice notification signal.

7. The mobile device as claimed in claim 6, wherein said transceiver module is further configured to obtain the pre-established voice data from a server device.

8. The mobile device as claimed in claim 7, wherein said transceiver module is configured to obtain the pre-established voice data from the server device using one of radio frequency techniques and a physical connection.

9. The mobile device as claimed in claim 6, wherein said voice processing module is configured to analyze the command received by said transceiver module, to construct a notification syntax based on a result obtained from analysis of the command and corresponding grammar rules included in the pre-established voice data, and to generate the voice notification signal according to the notification syntax.
