The housing 14 receives the color change signal from the processing unit 12 to change the display color. In practice, when the processing unit 12 analyzes the color control factors, it compares the physiological monitoring parameters and the standard value table during a monitoring period to obtain health status information, and generates a color changing signal according to the health status information. In one example, the user of the portable electronic device 1 can be measured by the receiving unit 10 to obtain a physiological monitoring parameter, which can be a blood pressure parameter, a heart rate parameter, or a blood oxygen parameter of the user.

In a practical example, the physiological monitoring parameter can be received by the receiving unit 10 in addition to the static blood pressure value, the static heart rate and the static blood oxygen value measured within a specified time (monitoring time). The dynamic blood pressure value, the dynamic heart rate and the dynamic blood oxygen value obtained by the instant monitoring can be performed when the user moves, wherein the physiological monitoring parameter can be electrically connected by the portable electronic device or the portable electronic device. The electronic device monitors, and the embodiment is not limited herein. In addition, the standard value table records standard values of various physiological monitoring parameters, such as a blood pressure value, a heart rate value, and a blood oxygen value standard value, for the processing unit 12 to search for, and thereby determining the current health status information of the user. .

In detail, the standard value table may be pre-stored in a database, the receiving unit 10 receives the input personal physiological information, and the processing unit 12 loads the corresponding standard value table from the database according to the personal physiological information. Here, the personal physiological information may include the user's age, gender, height, weight or other objective physiological characteristics, so that according to these physiological characteristics, respectively, the appropriate blood pressure value, heart rate value and blood oxygen value standard value (for example, one Range of values). For example, when an individual When the physiological information indicates that the user is 20 years old and male, the processing unit 12 will submit a standard value table corresponding to 20 years old and male from the database, and the personal physiological information indicates that the user is 50 years old. In the case of a female, the processing unit 12 also adaptively presents from the database a standard value list that is 50 years old and female. It is worth mentioning that the personal physiological information can be input by the user or fed by other software for health management, and the embodiment is not limited herein.

After the standard value table is taken out, the processing unit 12 compares the physiological monitoring parameters with the parameters in the standard value table corresponding to the user to obtain health status information. For example, when the processing unit 12 determines that the blood pressure value of the user meets the numerical range of the standard value table, the processing unit 12 determines that the blood pressure of the user is normal. Alternatively, when the processing unit 12 determines that the user's blood hop value exceeds the value range of the standard value table, the processing unit 12 determines that the user's heart rate is abnormal. Accordingly, the processing unit 12 can generate different color-changing signals according to the user's determination of different health conditions. Here, the color changing signal can be a set of color codes, a pattern or other suitable visual cues.

When the processing unit 12 analyzes the color control factor, the weather condition is further determined according to the weather information, and the color changing signal is generated according to the local weather state. . Here, the receiving physiological monitoring parameter and the weather information may be the same receiving unit 10, or there may be two or more different receiving units, which is not limited herein. For example, if the processing unit 12 determines that the user's blood pressure is abnormal, and determines that the weather state of the location is low temperature or cold air quality, the color of the outer casing 14 can be controlled to display a red color.

In another example, the color control factor received by the receiving unit 10 can be associated with the expression information, and the color information is generated according to the expression information, wherein the expression information is associated with the user's facial expression. For example, the receiving unit 10 may have a camera to capture an image of the user's face, and the processing unit 12 analyzes the image of the user's face to determine the expression information. The expression information may indicate the current mood state of the user, such as calm, happiness, sadness, anger, and the like.
