Hardware-implemented words, then said units different circuit units can be used to realize it；The realization of the above software/hardware combination is equal
It belongs to the scope of the present invention.
Offset determining means 1201 generates or the running of one of one PPG signals of estimation offset correction amount is as follows.Processing electricity
Road 120 receives such as three PPG signals, such as corresponds respectively to red light wavelength channel, green wavelength channel and blue light wavelength letter
The PPG signals in road (RGB channels, that is, different light compositions), the present embodiment, in order to accurately estimate DC offset, processing electricity
It (is, for example, the PPG of red light wavelength and green wavelength that road 120, which can be used and correspond respectively to two PPG signals of two different wave length channels,
The PPG signals of signal or blue light wavelength and green wavelength), physiological characteristic estimation operation is carried out, therefore only need to two PPG
Signal carries out offset correction operation, does not need to carry out offset correction to all PPG signals；So this is not the limit of the present invention
System, other embodiment also can carry out offset correction to single PPG signals or all PPG signals.
For example, the DC offset caused by the yield value for correction process variation or respective pixel, processing electricity
Road 120 is by first capturing completely black background video, and it is inclined to be considered as the direct current for the sensing value of generation corresponding to respective pixel at this time
Shifting amount, also that is, processing circuit 120 controls the equivalent environment in masking ambient light of electronic device 100, then in masking ambient light
When measure a PPG signals, the DC offset of the PPG signals under total darkness environment is estimated, as the offset for correcting the direct current offset
Correcting value corrects the DC offset caused by the yield value of process variation or respective pixel accordingly.
And for the direct current offset of corrective action artifact, it lies in and does not cover the action puppet that ambient light for example applies specific frequency
It being carried out when shadow, electronic device 100 is for example placed on the skin of user and is applied with specific frequency or the action artifact of interference,
Offset determining means 1201 can be by gradually applying or adjusting corresponding to multiple and different direct current offset test volumes to red light wavelength
A Color Channel, generate multiple and different PPG test result signals corresponding to red light wavelength, surveyed from those different PPG
Test result signal, the anti-DC offset correction amount for estimating the PPG signals for measuring red light wavelength, action noise correct unit 1202
The DC offset correction amount can be used to execute an offset correction to the PPG signals of red light wavelength, similarly, offset determines single
Member 1201 can by gradually applying or adjusting the Color Channel corresponding to multiple and different direct current offset test volumes to green wavelength,
Multiple and different PPG test results signals corresponding to green wavelength are generated, the PPG test result signal different from those is counter to push away
A DC offset correction amount of the PPG signals of green wavelength is estimated, and using the DC offset correction amount come to green wavelength
PPG signals execute an offset correction.
Above-mentioned application or adjust different direct current offset test volumes when, can by one fix step size (step size) come
Those different direct current offset test volumes are generated, or a step size can be adjusted by dynamic and surveyed to generate those different direct current offsets
Examination amount.Wherein, for fixing step size, adjusting range can for example be selected red caused by optical sensing system itself
The half of positive value of the half of the negative value of the preliminary direct current offset R_DC of optical wavelength to the preliminary direct current offset, that is,-R_DC/2
To R_DC/2, and using the twentieth size (that is, R_DC/20) of the adjusting range as fixed step, it is inclined to carry out direct current
The testing and debugging of shifting.Similarly, for the testing and debugging of green wavelength and blue light wavelength, aforesaid operations are also such as same as, it is no longer superfluous
It states.It should be noted that above-mentioned example explanation is only that reader is enabled more to be readily appreciated that embodiments of the present invention, it is not the limitation of the present invention.
In addition, can also count and analyze the Fourier transform function of multiple test result signals of one or more Color Channels
Frequency spectrum, Fourier transform function (such as Fast Fourier Transform FFT) can be used by each survey in offset determining means 1201
Test result signal is converted from time-domain to the frequency spectrum of frequency domain, according to a ceiling capacity of one of each test result signal frequency spectrum
Value and a ratio, generate a certain threshold, and according in each test result signal be more than the certain threshold it
One local extremum number of radio-frequency component, from multiple and different DC offsets corresponding to multiple and different test result signals
In, the anti-DC offset correction amount for estimating the PPG signals for measuring a particular light ray wavelength.When a fc-specific test FC result signal it
When one local extremum number is less than a certain number, offset determining means 1201 is chosen corresponding to the fc-specific test FC result signal
One of DC offset as the DC offset correction amount.
With reference to Fig. 2, the depicted electronic device for Fig. 1 carries out the FFT of an example of the test result signal of offset correction
The time frequency analysis schematic diagram of frequency spectrum.As shown in Fig. 2, X-axis represents the time, the energy intensity numerical value that Y axis represents FFT spectrum (represents
The signal energy intensity of certain frequency), horizontal dotted line represents certain threshold TH, and 1201 system of offset determining means, which first detects, to be obtained
The maximum energy value of the frequency spectrum of the test result signal is located at A points, using corresponding to A points energy value and a ratio (such as
1/4) TH is calculated, that is, the numerical value of TH removes 4 for the energy value corresponding to A points, then compares in the test result signal
One local extremum number of the radio-frequency component more than certain threshold TH may detect that local extremum number is 2, if the spy
Determine number and be set as 4, then the local extremum number of this test result signal is 2 and is less than certain number 4, therefore offset
Determining means 1201 can choose the DC offset corresponding to the test result signal that this makes use as the direct current offset
Correcting value.
With reference to Fig. 3, the depicted electronic device for Fig. 1 carries out another example of the test result signal of offset correction
The time frequency analysis schematic diagram of FFT spectrum.As shown in figure 3, X-axis represents the time, Y-axis represents the energy intensity numerical value of FFT spectrum
(the signal energy intensity for representing certain frequency), horizontal dotted line represent certain threshold TH, and 1201 system of offset determining means is first detectd
The maximum energy value for measuring the frequency spectrum of the test result signal is located at A ' points, using the corresponding energy value of A ' points and a ratio
Value (such as 1/4) and TH is calculated, that is, the numerical value of TH is that the corresponding energy value of A ' points removes 4, then compares the test knot
It is more than a local extremum number of the radio-frequency component of certain threshold TH in fruit signal, may detect that local extremum number is 8,
If the certain number is set as 4, the local extremum number of this test result signal is 8 and is more than certain number 4, because
This offset determining means 1201 will not choose the DC offset conduct corresponding to the test result signal that this makes use
The DC offset correction amount.
When a test result signal is converted from time-domain to frequency domain, the maximum energy value of the frequency spectrum of the test result signal
Frequency typically represent estimated physiological characteristic (i.e. palmic rate), no direct current offset interference ideal situation, this is most
Big energy value can be several times as much as the energy intensity value of other radio-frequency components, therefore use a ratio (such as 1/4) to distinguish this
The frequency of maximum energy value and the radio-frequency component of other energy intensities, and the setting of a certain number is actually also used, sentence
Direct current offset suffered by disconnected current test result signal is affected or smaller, such as the test result news shown in Fig. 2
Number, the local extremum number for being more than the radio-frequency component of certain threshold TH is 2, and offset determining means 1201 can determine that
The test result signal influenced by direct current offset it is smaller, if without other test result signals better than the test result interrogate
Number, then the corresponding DC offset of the test result signal can be selected as DC offset correction amount.Conversely, as shown in Figure 3
Test result signal, be more than the radio-frequency component of certain threshold TH local extremum number be 8, be more than the certain number
4, offset determining means 1201 can determine that the test result signal is affected by direct current offset, not select the test
As a result the corresponding DC offset of signal is as DC offset correction amount.Accordingly, offset determining means 1201 can determine
The quality of different test result signals come determine it is last used by DC offset correction amount.
It should be noted that when offset determining means 1201 carries out spectrum analysis, can only take in normal heartbeat frequency range
Energy intensity value it is for statistical analysis, such as Fig. 2 shown in frequency f1 to frequency f2 range.So this be not this case limit
System.
When offset determining means 1201 finally determines the correcting value of direct current offset, action noise corrects unit 1202
The direct current offset for then reducing or eliminating the PPG signals of one of corresponding wavelength of light come adjustment according to the correcting value, then gives birth to
Reason feature estimation unit 1203 is then according to neither estimating palmic rate, implementation with the PPG signals after the correction of wavelength of light
On, physiological characteristic estimates unit 1203 can be to neither turning with the PPG signals after the correction of wavelength of light from chrominance space is carried out
It changes, takes the correspondence chromatic value of two PPG signals, calculate a ratio of two groups of chrominance signals, then the ratio is converted to frequency domain
Judge palmic rate.For example, in an embodiment, if offset determining means 1201 determines red light wavelength and green wavelength respectively
Color channel physiological characteristic measure signal two offset correction amounts, then action noise correction unit 1202 use red light wavelength
The direct current offset of the PPG signals of red light wavelength, green wavelength is reduced or eliminated with the two offset corrections amount of green wavelength, and
Two PPG signals of red light wavelength, green wavelength after correction are then carried out chrominance space by physiological characteristic estimation unit 1203 respectively
Conversion takes the correspondence chromatic value of two PPG signals, calculates the ratio of two groups of chrominance signals, then the ratio is converted to frequency domain
Judge palmic rate.Aforesaid operations are also suitable for the PPG signals of blue light wavelength and green wavelength.
In order to make reader be apparent to the operation of the present invention, separately by the fortune of the processing circuit 120 of above-mentioned electronic device 100
It is described in Fig. 4 as process step, to contribute to reader to understand.If generally can reach identical as a result, not needing to be certain
It is carried out according to the step sequence in the flow shown in Fig. 4, and the step shown in Fig. 4 is not necessarily intended to be carried out continuously, that is, other are walked
Suddenly it also can be inserted into wherein：
Step 405：Start；
