The processor 720 is a control center of the electronic device 700, connects various parts of the whole electronic device by using various interfaces and lines, and performs various functions of the electronic device 700 and processes data by operating or executing software programs and/or modules stored in the memory 710 and calling data stored in the memory 710, thereby performing overall monitoring of the electronic device 700. The Processor 720 may be a central processing unit, or may be other general-purpose Processor, a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) or other Programmable logic device, a discrete Gate or transistor logic device, a discrete hardware component, or the like. A general purpose processor may be a microprocessor or the processor may be any conventional processor or the like.
The input unit 730 may be used to receive input numeric or character information and generate keyboard, mouse, joystick, optical or trackball signal inputs related to user settings and function control. In particular, the input unit 730 may include a touch-sensitive surface 731 as well as other input devices 732. In particular, the touch-sensitive surface 731 may include, but is not limited to, a touch pad or touch screen, and the other input devices 732 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of a physical keyboard, function keys (such as volume control keys, switch keys, etc.), a trackball, a mouse, a joystick, and the like.
The display unit 740 may be used to display information input by or provided to a user and various graphic user interfaces of the electronic device, which may be configured by graphics, text, icons, video, and any combination thereof. The Display unit 740 may include a Display panel 741, and optionally, the Display panel 741 may be configured in the form of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED), or the like.
The RF circuit 750 may be used for receiving and transmitting signals during information transmission and reception or during a call, and in particular, for receiving downlink information of a base station and then processing the received downlink information by the one or more processors 720; in addition, data relating to uplink is transmitted to the base station. In general, RF circuit 750 includes, but is not limited to, an antenna, at least one Amplifier, a tuner, one or more oscillators, a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, a transceiver, a coupler, a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), a duplexer, and the like. In addition, RF circuit 750 may also communicate with networks and other devices via wireless communications. The wireless communication may use any communication standard or protocol, including but not limited to Global System for Mobile communication (GSM), general Packet Radio Service (GPRS), code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), long Term Evolution (LTE), email, short Messaging Service (SMS), and the like.
WiFi belongs to short-range wireless transmission technology, and the electronic device 700 can help the user send and receive email, browse web pages, access streaming media, etc. through the WiFi module 760, which provides the user with wireless broadband internet access. Although fig. 7 shows the WiFi module 760, it is understood that it does not belong to the essential constitution of the electronic device 700, and may be omitted entirely as needed within the scope not changing the essence of the invention.
The electronic device 700 further comprises a power supply 770 (e.g., a battery) for providing power to the various components, which may preferably be logically connected to the processor 720 via a power management system, such that the power management system may manage charging, discharging, and power consumption. The power supply 770 may also include any component including one or more dc or ac power sources, recharging systems, power failure detection circuitry, power converters or inverters, power status indicators, and the like.
It should be noted that, although not shown, the electronic device 700 may further include a bluetooth module, and the like, which is not described herein again.
An embodiment of the present invention further provides a computer-readable storage medium, which may be disposed in an electronic device to store at least one instruction or at least one program for implementing an oxygen uptake fraction measuring method, where the at least one instruction or the at least one program is loaded and executed by the processor to implement the oxygen uptake fraction measuring method provided by the above method embodiment.
