Abstract

La présente invention concerne un appareil électronique selon un mode de réalisation comprenant : un module d'électrode comprenant au moins trois électrodes ; un module de mesure comprenant au moins un commutateur et un circuit de courant ; une mémoire ; et un processeur. Le processeur peut : configurer le module de mesure pour fonctionner sous un premier mode sur la base qu'une première électrode et une seconde électrode parmi les au moins trois électrodes entrent en contact avec une première partie d'un corps humain ; obtenir les informations de conductance de la peau sur la base d'un premier signal mesuré à l'aide du module de mesure durant le fonctionnement sous le premier mode ; stocker les informations obtenues de conductance de la peau dans la mémoire ; commuter le mode de fonctionnement du module de mesure vers un second mode à l'aide du au moins un commutateur, sur la base du fait qu'un évènement désigné s'est produit durant le fonctionnement sous le premier mode ; obtenir les informations d'électrocardiogramme sur la base d'un second signal mesuré à l'aide du module de mesure sous le second mode, sur la base qu'une troisième électrode entre en contact avec une seconde partie du corps humain tandis que la première électrode et la seconde électrode se trouvent en contact avec la première partie ; stocker les informations d'électrocardiogramme obtenues dans la mémoire ; et commuter vers le premier mode après que le temps désigné se soit écoulé sous le second mode. D'autres modes de réalisation peuvent également être possibles.
