Wrist-worn portable device and a wrist-worn pulse wave measuring device
First Claim
1. A wrist-worn pulse wave measuring device, comprising:
- a device body;
a wrist band, coupled to said device body, for holding said device body on a wrist of a living body;
a sensor unit(1) adapted to be mounted on the living body for measuring a pulse wave signal from the living body, and(2) adapted to be coupled to an external device for enabling communications between said device body and the external device;
a connector removably coupling said sensor unit to the external device; and
signal discrimination means for selectivelyenabling data communication between said device body and the external device when said sensor unit is coupled to the external device, andmeasuring the pulse wave signal by said device body from the living body when said sensor unit is mounted on the living body.

Abstract
The invention provides a wrist-worn pulse wave measuring device capable of outputting data measured by the wrist-worn pulse wave measuring device to an external data processing device without using a large device body. In the pulse information processing apparatus, a connector piece of a sensor unit is mounted to a connector of a wrist-worn pulse wave measuring device when measuring the pulse. A data transmission connector piece is mounted to the connector of the pulse wave measuring device when transmitting data with a data processor. Whether the operating mode is the pulse measurement mode or the data transmission mode is determined by a signal discriminator which discriminates the signal input from the connector of the pulse wave measuring device.
