1 is a block diagram of a wearable light activity recording apparatus 1 of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , the wearable light activity recording device 1 includes a processing unit 11 , a light sensing unit 12 , and a motion sensing unit 13 . The wearable light activity recording device 1 is intended to be worn by a user, for example, as a watch, a head mounted device, a chain device, an armband device or a shoe worn device, but the present invention does not This is limited to this. The wearable light activity recording device 1 records the time when the user receives the light, and provides a smart application, such as calculating the daily light amount, reminding the user when the light is insufficient or excessive, and reminding the user when the light intensity is too large. Wait, but the new model is not limited to this.

The light sensing unit 12 is electrically connected to the processing unit 11 and outputs a light sensing signal LS to the processing unit 11. The light sensing unit 12 is configured to sense the light outside and includes, for example, a photoresistor, a photodiode, a photocell, a solar cell component, or other optoelectronic component, or a combination thereof. These components convert the sensed light into electrical signals. In addition, the light sensing unit 12 may further include a filter element (not shown), and the filter element can filter out unnecessary light, thereby improving light sensing performance. For example, the filter element can filter out infrared light or visible light, etc., so that the ultraviolet light accounts for most of the light to facilitate indoor and outdoor judgment.

The motion sensing unit 13 is electrically connected to the processing unit 11 and outputs a motion sensing signal MS to the processing unit 11. The motion sensing unit 13 is configured to sense the action of the wearable light activity recording device 1 and includes, for example, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, or a combination thereof. The motion sensing signal includes, for example, information on acceleration, velocity, angular velocity, angle, displacement, or a combination thereof. In addition, the motion sensing unit 13 may further include a computing component to convert one of the above information into another information.

The processing unit 11 can process the signals output by the light sensing unit 12 and the motion sensing unit 13, and includes, for example, a central processing unit (CPU), a micro control unit (MCU), or other processing elements, or a combination thereof. The processing unit 11 determines that the wearable light activity recording device 1 is located indoors or outdoors based on the light sensing signal LS. There are a number of mechanisms that can be used to determine whether the wearable light activity recording device 1 is indoors or outdoors. For example, the processing unit 11 generates a luminous flux information, an illuminance information or other light intensity information according to the light sensing signal LS to determine whether the wearable light activity recording device 1 is located indoors or outdoors. Luminous flux information or illuminance information represents the light intensity, which can also be represented by other parameters. The processing unit 11 can compare the luminous flux information or the illuminance information with a preset value to determine whether the wearable photoactive recording device 1 is located indoors or outdoors. For example, at noon, if the luminous flux information or the illuminance information is greater than the preset value, it is judged that the wearable light activity recording apparatus 1 is located outdoors. It should be noted that the above preset values may change with time.

The processing unit 11 determines whether the wearable light activity recording device 1 is operating based on the motion sensing signal MS. There are a number of mechanisms that can be used to determine if the wearable light activity recording device 1 is in motion. For example, the processing unit 11 generates an acceleration information, a speed information, an angular velocity information, a displacement information or an angle information according to the motion sensing signal MS to determine whether the wearable light activity recording device 1 is in motion. The processing unit 11 can compare at least one of the above information with a preset value. If the information is greater than the preset value, it is determined that the wearable light activity recording apparatus 1 is in motion. The default value can be set according to the age or gender of the user.

When the wearable light activity recording apparatus 1 is located outdoors and in motion, the processing unit 11 records a light receiving time, and the light receiving time is cumulative. By accepting the recording of the illumination time, the wearable light activity recording apparatus 1 can provide many applications, as exemplified below.

The processing unit 11 can remind the user according to the time of receiving the light, for example, reminding the user when the time of receiving the light is insufficient or exceeded. In an embodiment, the wearable light activity recording device 1 can further include an alert unit 14 that is electrically connected to the processing unit 11 and can issue an alert. Examples of alarms include sound, images, flash, vibration, or a combination thereof. The alert unit 14 includes, for example, a speaker, a display, a flasher, a vibrator, or a combination thereof.

In an embodiment, the processing unit 11 may further record one of the luminous flux or the illuminance corresponding to the illumination time. Among them, luminous flux = light energy / time (J / s), illuminance = luminous flux / area. By providing the luminous flux or illuminance, the wearable light activity recording apparatus 1 can provide a comparison table of the illumination time and the luminous flux or illuminance. Further, the wearable light activity recording apparatus 1 may further provide a light amount which is, for example, equal to the light receiving time multiplied by the light flux or the illuminance. When the luminous flux or illuminance is greater than a predetermined value, it may represent that the light intensity is too large and harmful to the human body, so the warning unit 14 may be alerted to the user. The above preset values may also change over time. When the amount of illumination is sufficient, exceeds or reaches a certain level, the alert unit 14 can be alerted to the user. In addition, the processing unit 11 can adjust the light exposure time according to the luminous flux or the illumination. For example, when the light intensity of a certain day is large, the illumination time of one of the days can be shortened. The time to be illuminated may be originally set by the user and then changed by the processing unit 11. If the time to be illuminated is approaching, the warning unit 14 can issue a warning to remind the user.

In addition, the processing unit 11 can output a consistent energy signal to the alert unit 14 by comparing an illumination end time with a current time, so that the alert unit 14 issues an alert. Here, the end time of the light refers to the time when the sun goes down, and the warning unit can issue a warning when the time is approaching the end of the light to remind the user to grasp the opportunity to receive the light.

In the present embodiment, the wearable light activity recording apparatus 1 may further include a power supply unit 15 that can supply power to all components of the wearable light activity recording apparatus 1. The alert unit 14 may also issue an alert when the power is insufficient or the device is idle for too long.

In the present embodiment, the wearable light activity recording device 1 further includes a temperature sensing unit 16 electrically connected to the processing unit 11. The temperature sensing unit 16 can assist in the determination of indoor and outdoor or for other purposes, such as temperature indication.

In this embodiment, the wearable light activity recording device 1 may further include a wireless communication unit 17 electrically connected to the processing unit 11 and capable of transmitting at least the light receiving time. In addition, the wireless communication unit 17 can further transmit any of the above information to provide a doctor or professional analysis.

As shown in FIG. 2, a light activity record is first turned on (S11). Then, it is first judged whether or not the wearable light activity recording apparatus 1 is located outdoors (S12). If it is judged that the wearable light activity recording apparatus 1 is located outdoors, it is judged whether or not the wearable light activity recording apparatus 1 is in operation (S13). If so, the exposure time is accumulated (recorded) (S14). It is then judged whether or not the acceptance of the illumination time is reached (S17). If so, the lighting activity recording is stopped (S18). If not, an alert (S16) is issued one hour before the end of the daytime (lighting end time) (S15). Of course, the above 1 hour is merely illustrative and not intended to limit the present invention, which may be changed according to actual needs. In addition, when the daylight hours (lighting end time) are over, an alert can also be issued to inform the user. If the result of the step S15 is NO, the process returns to the step S12 to determine whether the wearable light activity recording apparatus 1 is located indoors or outdoors.
