Abstract

Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable recording media are provided for measuring multiple bio-signals. A method is provided for measuring multiple bio-signals including acquiring a first bio-signal from a first device disposed at a first point on a human body. The method also includes acquiring a second bio-signal from a second device disposed at a second point on the human body. The method additionally includes quantizing the acquired first bio-signal and second bio-signal. The method further includes synchronizing the quantized first bio-signal and second bio-signal. The method also includes generating biometric information with reference to the synchronized first bio-signal and second bio-signal.

Claims

1. A method for measuring multiple bio-signals, comprising:

acquiring a first bio-signal from a first device disposed at a first point on a human body, and acquiring a second bio-signal from a second device disposed at a second point on the human body;

quantizing the acquired first bio-signal and second bio-signal; and

synchronizing the quantized first bio-signal and second bio-signal, and generating biometric information with reference to the synchronized first bio-signal and second bio-signal.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein acquiring the first bio-signal from the first device disposed at the first point and acquiring the second bio-signal from the second device disposed at the second point are performed constantly.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first bio-signal and the second bio-signal is acquired through a wireless communication network.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the biometric information includes information regarding at least one of electrocardiogram (ECG), heart rate, body temperature information, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, electromyogram (EMG), sweat gland activity, volume of perspiration and respiration rate.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein generating the biometric information includes:

performing digital-to-analog conversion on the synchronized first bio-signal and second bio-signal;

performing at least one process of amplification and band-pass filtering on the digital-to-analog converted first bio-signal and second bio-signal; and

generating biometric information with reference to the processed first bio-signal and second bio-signal.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a computer program for executing the method according to claim 1.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein:

acquiring the first bio-signal from the first device includes continually acquiring the first bio-signal from the first device, and

acquiring the second bio-signal from the second device includes continually acquiring the second bio-signal from the second device.

7. A system for measuring multiple bio-signals, comprising:

a bio-signal acquirer configured to acquire a first bio-signal from a first device disposed at a first point on a human body, and configured to acquire a second bio-signal from a second device disposed at a second point on the human body; and

a bio-signal processor configured to quantize the acquired first bio-signal and second bio-signal, configured to synchronize the quantized first bio-signal and second bio-signal, and configured to generate biometric information with reference to the synchronized first bio-signal and second bio-signal.

9. A method for measuring multiple bio-signals, comprising:

acquiring a first bio-signal from a first device disposed at a first point on a human body;

acquiring a second bio-signal from a second device disposed at a second point on the human body;

quantizing the acquired first bio-signal and second bio-signal;

synchronizing the quantized first bio-signal and second bio-signal;

converting the synchronized first bio-signal and second bio-signal from digital to analog;

amplifying and band-pass filtering the digital-to-analog converted first bio-signal and second bio-signal; and

generating biometric information with reference to the processed first bio-signal and second bio-signal.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the biometric information includes information regarding at least one of electrocardiogram (ECG), heart rate, body temperature information, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, electromyogram (EMG), sweat gland activity, volume of perspiration and respiration rate.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a computer program for executing the method according to claim 9.
