HEALTH CARE DEVICE AND POWER MANAGEMENT METHOD THEREFOR
First Claim
1. A power management method for a health care device, the health care device comprising a leads-off detection unit, a processing unit and an activity detection unit, the power management method comprising:
- determining by the leads-off detection unit whether a smart garment is in contact with a user body;
operating the health care device in a normal operating mode when it is determined that the smart garment is in contact with the user body, or else operating the health care device in a low-power mode when it is determined that the smart garment is not in contact with the user body; and
under the low-power mode, detecting by the activity detection unit whether the health care device is tapped to determine whether to transmit user health data detected by the health care device to a user device.

4. A health care device, comprising:
-
a processing unit; a power module, for powering the health care device; a physiological signal measurement unit, coupled to the processing unit, for measuring a user physiological signal; a leads-off detection circuit, coupled to the processing unit, for detecting whether a smart garment fixedly attached to the health care device is in contact with a user body; and a wireless communication unit, coupled to the processing unit, for transmitting user health data measured by the health care device to a user device; wherein, when the processing unit determines that the smart garment is in contact with the user body, the processing unit controls the health care device to operate in a normal operating mode;
when the processing unit determines that the smart garment is not in contact with the user body, the processing unit controls the health care device to operate in a low-power mode. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
