1. A power management method for a health care device, the health care device comprising a leads-off detection unit, a processing unit and an activity detection unit, the power management method comprising:
- determining by the leads-off detection unit whether a smart garment is in contact with a user body;
operating the health care device in a normal operating mode when it is determined that the smart garment is in contact with the user body;
deactivating a wireless communication unit to operate the health care device in a low-power mode when the leads-off detection unit determines that the smart garment is not in contact with the user body within a predetermined period; and
when the health care device is in the low-power mode, detecting by the activity detection unit whether the health care device is tapped to determine whether to transmit user health data detected by the health care device to a user device.

Abstract
A power management method for a health care device is included. The method includes: detecting whether a smart garment is in contact with a user body; operating the health care device in a normal mode when the smart garment is in contact with the user body, or operating the health care device in a low-power mode when the smart garment is not in contact with the user body; and under the low-power mode, detecting whether the health care device is tapped to determine whether to transmit user health data to a user device.

4. A health care device, comprising:
-
a processing unit; an activity detection unit, coupled to the processing unit; a power module, for powering the health care device; has been inserted, replacing a processing unit; a power module, for powering the health care device; a physiological signal measurement unit, coupled to the processing unit, for measuring a user physiological signal; a leads-off detection circuit, coupled to the processing unit, for detecting whether a smart garment fixedly attached to the health care device is in contact with a user body; and a wireless communication unit, coupled to the processing unit, for transmitting user health data measured by the health care device to a user device; wherein, when the processing unit determines that the smart garment is in contact with the user body, the processing unit controls the health care device to operate in a normal operating mode;
when the processing unit determines that the smart garment is not in contact with the user body within a predetermined period, the processing unit deactivates the wireless communication unit to control the health care device to operate in a low-power modewherein, when the health care device operates in the low-power mode, the processing unit activates the wireless communication unit and transmits the user health data to the user device when the activity detection unit detects that the health care device is tapped. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7)
