Abstract

A measurement device for measuring a blood pressure is provided. The measurement device includes a first sensor, a processor, and a measurement component. The first sensor is used to generate a first sensing signal. The processor receives the first sensing signal and determines whether an event occurs according to the first sensing signal. The measurement component is enabled to measure the blood pressure. When the processor determines that the event occurs, the processor triggers a reminding operation related to enabling of the measurement component.

Claims

1. A measurement device for measuring a blood pressure, comprising:

a first sensor generating a first sensing signal;

a processor receiving the first sensing signal and determining whether a pre-defined event occurs according to the first sensing signal; and

a measurement component enabled to measure the blood pressure;

wherein when the processor determines that the pre-defined event occurs, the processor triggers a reminding operation related to enabling of the measurement component.

2. The measurement device as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

a displayer coupled to the processor;

wherein when the processor triggers the reminding operation, the processor controls the displayer shows a message related to the enabling of the measurement component.

3. The measurement device as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

a speaker coupled to the processor;

wherein when the processor triggers the reminding operation, the processor controls the speaker to play alarm sound related to the enabling of the measurement component.

4. The measurement device as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

a memory coupled to the processor;

wherein when the measurement component is enabled to measure the blood pressure according to the reminding operation, the processor stores a measured value of the blood pressure into the memory.

5. The measurement device as claimed in claim 1, wherein after the processor triggers the reminding operation, the processor enables the measurement component to measure the blood pressure when the processor receives an indication signal.

6. The measurement device as claimed in claim 1,

wherein the processor receives the first sensing signal and determines whether the pre-defined event occurs according to the first sensing signal, and when the processor determines that the pre-defined event occurs, the processor triggers the reminding operation;

and

wherein when the processor triggers the reminding operation and receives an indication signal, the processor enables the measurement component to measure the blood pressure.

7. The measurement device as claimed in claim 1, wherein when the processor determines that the pre-defined event does not occur and the processor receives an indication signal, the processor enables the measurement component to measure the blood pressure according to the indication signal.

8. The measurement device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first sensor is a G-sensor, a heart rate sensor, or a temperature sensor.

9. A measurement method for measuring a blood pressure, comprising:

generating a first sensing signal through a first sensor;

determining whether a pre-defined event occurs according to the first sensing signal; and

when it is determined that the pre-defined event occurs, triggering a reminding operation related to enabling of measurement of the blood pressure.

10. The measurement method as claimed in claim 9 further comprising:

when the processor triggers the reminding operation, showing a message related to the enabling the measurement of the blood pressure.

11. The measurement method as claimed in claim 9 further comprising:

when the processor triggers the reminding operation, playing alarm sound related to the enabling of the measurement of the blood pressure.

12. The measurement method as claimed in claim 9 further comprising:

when the measurement of the blood pressure is enabled according to the reminding operation, storing a measured value of the blood pressure into the memory.

13. The measurement method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the step of enabling the measurement of the blood pressure comprises:

when an indication signal is received, enabling the measurement of the blood pressure.

14. The measurement method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the first sensing represents a height, a heart-rate, or a temperature.

15. A measurement device for measuring a blood pressure, comprising:

a measurement component enabled to measure the blood pressure;

a processor coupled to the measurement component;

wherein the processor enables the measurement component to obtain a measured value of the blood pressure and categorizes the measured value into a specific event.

16. The measurement device as claimed in claim 15 further comprising:

a displayer coupled to the processor;

wherein when the processor obtains the measured value, the processor controls the displayer shows the measured value.

17. The measurement device as claimed in claim 15, wherein the processor sets a plurality of reference events, and when the processor obtains the measured value, the processor selects one of the reference events to serve as the specific event.

18. The measurement device as claimed in claim 17, wherein the reference events comprise occurrences of taking medicine, chest pain, headache, and finishing meal.

19. A measurement method for measuring a blood pressure, comprising:

enabling measurement of the blood pressure to obtain a measured value of the blood pressure; and

building a relation between the the measured value between a specific event.

20. The measurement method as claimed in claim 19 further comprising:

when the measured value is obtained, showing the measured value on a displayer.

21. The measurement method as claimed in claim 19 further comprising:

setting a plurality of reference events in a memory;

wherein in step of categorizing the measured value into the specific event, when the measured value is obtained, one of the reference events is selected to serve as the specific.
