METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING MOBILE PHONE USAGE
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a wearable device, wherein the wearable device includes;
at least one biometric sensor that is configured to detect biometric data from a body of a user wearing the wearable device;
a radio frequency (RF) detection sensor configured to detect power levels of RF radiation signals acquired via the body of the user wearing the wearable device in a position capable of detecting the biometric data;
at least one processor that is operative responsiveto the RF detection sensor detecting a power level corresponding to an RF signal indicative of the user using a mobile phone,to output at least one notification signal indicative of the user using the mobile phone.

Abstract
An apparatus that includes a mobile phone detection system is provided. The apparatus comprises a wearable device having a pulse detection sensor, an RF detection sensor, and at least one processor. The pulse detection sensor is configured to detect a heart beat pulse of a body of a user wearing the wearable device. The RF detection sensor is configured to detect RF radiation signals from the body of the user wearing the wearable device. The processor may be operative responsive: to the pulse detection device detecting the pulse of the user; and the RF detection sensor detecting an RF radiation signal indicative of the user using a mobile phone; to output at least one notification signal indicative of the user using the mobile phone.
