21. pulse rate measuring methods as claimed in claim 20, it is characterized in that, step (ii) also comprises the electronic signal exported as voltage waveform, it has the direct current component representing ambient light intensity, and representative is by the AC portion of intensity of light sensing unit from the light of vein and capillary vessel reflection.
22. pulse rate measuring methods as claimed in claim 21, is characterized in that, the direct current component that step (iii) also comprises the voltage waveform determining the electronic signal exported from light sensing unit whether zero or lower than predetermined threshold value; If the DC component of voltage waveform of the electronic signal that light sensing unit exports is zero or lower than predetermined threshold value, this represents light sensing unit and does not detect ambient light or only detect very weak ambient light, therefore light sensing unit is confirmed as and user contact skin; If the direct current component of the voltage waveform of the electronic signal of light sensing unit output exceeds predetermined threshold value, this representative detects intense ambient light, therefore light sensing unit is confirmed as not and user contact skin.
23. pulse rate measuring methods as claimed in claim 21, is characterized in that, identify that the step of pulse comprises detecting and exports from light sensing unit and amplified by voltage amplifier and the rising edge of the voltage waveform of electronic signal that filters, peak value and drop edge.
24. pulse rate measuring methods as claimed in claim 21, it is characterized in that, step (v) is further comprising the steps of:
What i continuous pulse that () is preset number was right obtains pulse rate every a pair, the pulse rate wherein obtaining often pair of continuous pulse is time period in seconds between peak value by measuring the first right pulse of continuous pulse and the peak value of the second pulse that pulse is right continuously, and by time period of measuring divided by 60;
(ii) by calculating the meansigma methods of the right pulse rate of the continuous pulse of preset number, the output pulse rate outputting to output device is obtained;
(iii) as needs, (i) and (ii) preset times is repeated, to upgrade the output pulse rate outputting to output device.
