MOTION ARTIFACT REMOVAL BY TIME DOMAIN PROJECTION
First Claim
1. A device for determining a heart rate of a user, comprising:
- a sensor configured to generate first signals when positioned on or adjacent to a user'"'"'s skin;
an accelerometer configured to generate one or more acceleration signals; and
processing circuitry capable of removing, in a time domain, motion artifacts from the first signals based on the acceleration signals to determine the heart rate.

Abstract
An algorithm for removing motion artifacts from the PPG signal in the time domain to determine heart rate is disclosed. A device for determining a heart rate of a user can include a heart rate sensor configured to generate heart rate signals when positioned on or adjacent to a user'"'"'s skin, an accelerometer configured to generate one or more acceleration signals, and processing circuitry configured to remove, in a time domain, motion artifacts from the heart rate signals based on the acceleration signals. In some examples, the removal of motion artifacts can also be based on mean-centered, variance-scaled integrated acceleration signals. In some examples, the processing circuitry can be configured to remove motion artifacts using a least squares algorithm to identify a best representation of acceleration and integrated acceleration signals in the heart rate signals.
