1. An apparatus configured to measure blood pressure, the apparatus comprising:
- a sensor configured to radiate light to a body part, and detect a light signal that is changed due to the body part;
a signal processor configured to determine a bio signal based on the light signal; and
a central processing unit configured to determine a blood pressure based on the bio signal and a blood pressure estimation algorithm.

16. A method of measuring blood pressure, the method comprising:
-
radiating light to a body part; detecting a light signal that is changed due to the body part; determining a bio signal based on the light signal; correcting the bio signal; extracting feature points from the corrected bio signal; and combining a matrix of a blood pressure estimation algorithm with the feature points to determine a blood pressure. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
