- the measurement of the pulse rate (thus detection of the pulse) in the electronic timepiece 1 is accompanied by light emission of the LED of the light emitting unit 15 (hereinafter simply referred to as light emission of the light emitting unit 15). Therefore, if the electronic timepiece 1 is removed from the user's wrist while the pulse rate is being measured, turning off the light emitting unit 15 to stop the pulse rate measurement is advantageous both in terms of appearance and power consumption. is also preferred.
- wearing determination is performed to determine whether or not the own device is worn by the user after the pulse rate measurement is started. This attachment determination is made based on whether or not the amount of light received from the light receiving section 17 is greater than a predetermined reference value (second reference value V2 shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B).
- a predetermined reference value second reference value V2 shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B.
- the amount of light received by the light receiving section 17 is greatly reduced compared to when the electronic timepiece 1 is worn. Therefore, whether or not the electronic timepiece 1 is worn by the user can be determined based on whether or not the amount of light received by the light receiving section 17 is greater than the second reference value V2.
- the second reference value V2 is set to a value between the amount of light received when the electronic timepiece 1 is worn by the user and the amount of light received when the electronic timepiece 1 is not worn by the user. If it is determined that the electronic timepiece 1 is not worn by the user, pulse rate measurement is stopped.
- the proportion of the light reflected by the user's skin and incident on the light receiving unit 17 decreases as the skin becomes darker (for example, as the skin color becomes darker). Therefore, the amount of light received by the light receiving unit 17 varies greatly depending on the darkness of the skin of the user wearing the electronic timepiece 1 . Therefore, even if the electronic timepiece 1 is worn by the user, it may be erroneously determined that the user is not wearing the electronic timepiece 1 due to a small amount of received light, depending on the darkness of the skin. If such an erroneous determination occurs, pulse rate measurement will stop at an unintended timing while the electronic timepiece 1 is being worn.
- the darkness of the skin includes not only the darkness caused by the color of the skin, but also the darkness caused by changes in the reflectance and diffusion state of light due to the cosmetics applied to the skin.
- FIG. 4A and 4B are diagrams showing examples of differences in the amount of received light due to the darkness of the skin.
- FIG. 4A shows an example of the amount of light received by the light receiving unit 17 when a user with light skin uses the electronic timepiece 1 .
- FIG. 4B shows an example of the amount of light received by the light-receiving unit 17 when a dark-skinned user uses the electronic timepiece 1 .
- FIG. 4A shows a case where a user whose skin is classified as type I in the Fitzpatrick skin type uses the electronic timepiece 1 .
- FIG. 4B shows a case where the electronic timepiece 1 is used by a user whose skin is classified as type VI in the Fitzpatrick skin type.
- the electronic timepiece 1 is worn by the user during the period from timing t0 to timing t1. At timing t1, the electronic timepiece 1 is removed from the user's wrist, and at timing t2, the electronic timepiece 1 is placed on the desk.
- the amount of received light is greater than the second reference value V2 at the time of wearing (timings t0 to t1). Appropriate decisions are made. Also, when the electronic timepiece 1 is removed and left stationary (after timing t2), the amount of received light is equal to or less than the second reference value V2, so an appropriate determination that the electronic timepiece 1 is not worn is made.
- the amount of received light is equal to or less than the second reference value V2 even when the user wears the electronic timepiece 1 (timings t0 to t1). In this case, an inappropriate determination is made to the effect that it is not attached.
- skin determination is performed to determine whether or not the user's skin satisfies a predetermined darkness condition based on the amount of light received by the light receiving unit 17 when worn. Then, when it is determined that the darkness condition is not satisfied (that is, when it is determined that the skin is bright), wearing determination is performed. On the other hand, when it is determined that the darkness condition is satisfied (that is, when it is determined that the skin is dark), wearing determination is not performed. As a result, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of the problem of erroneously determining that the device is not worn due to the darkness of the skin although the device is worn.
- the user's skin which is the target of skin determination, may be the bare skin, or may be the skin to which cosmetics or the like are applied.
- the first reference value V1 is preferably larger than the second reference value V2, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B.
- the amount of light received by the light-receiving unit 17 when wearing the electronic timepiece 1 may vary depending on how the electronic timepiece 1 is worn and the brightness of the environment, even for the same user. For this reason, if the skin is determined using the second reference value V2, even if it is determined that the darkness condition is not satisfied (that is, the skin is bright), the amount of light received when performing the wearing determination is the second value.
- an erroneous determination of non-wearing may occur.
- Such erroneous determination can be reduced by performing skin determination using the first reference value V1 obtained by adding a predetermined margin to the second reference value V2.
- the skin determination method can be rephrased as follows. That is, in skin determination, it is determined whether or not the user's skin satisfies a predetermined brightness condition based on the amount of light received by the light receiving unit 17 when the device is worn. Then, when it is determined that the brightness condition is satisfied (that is, when it is determined that the skin is bright), wearing determination is performed. On the other hand, when it is determined that the brightness condition is not satisfied (that is, when it is determined that the skin is dark), wearing determination is not performed. In skin determination in this case, it is determined that the brightness condition is satisfied when the amount of light received by the light receiving unit 17 is greater than the first reference value V1.
- FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing a control procedure by the CPU 10 for pulse rate measurement processing.
- the CPU 10 executes a pulse rate measurement start process (step S101).
- FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing the control procedure by the CPU 10 of the pulse rate measurement start process.
- the CPU 10 determines whether or not there is a request to start pulse rate measurement (step S201). For example, when a user's input operation for starting pulse rate measurement is accepted on the pulse rate measurement application, it is determined that there is a request to start pulse rate measurement. If it is determined that there is no pulse rate measurement start request ("NO" in step S201), the CPU 10 executes the process of step S201 again.
- step S201 When it is determined that there is a request to start pulse rate measurement ("YES" in step S201), the CPU 10 acquires the acceleration detection result by the acceleration sensor 18 (step S202).
- the CPU 10 determines whether or not the change in acceleration is greater than or equal to a predetermined criterion in the acquired acceleration detection result (step S203). If the change in acceleration is equal to or greater than the criterion, it is assumed that the user is wearing the electronic timepiece 1, and the process for measuring the pulse rate proceeds thereafter.
- the criterion is determined so that the acceleration when the electronic timepiece 1 is worn by the user is likely to exceed the criterion. That is, the criterion is determined to be close to the lower limit within the range of changes in acceleration that occur in response to the user's motion when the electronic timepiece 1 is worn by the user.
- step S203 If it is determined that the change in acceleration is less than the criterion ("NO" in step S203), it can be determined that the electronic timepiece 1 is not worn by the user and that it is inappropriate to start pulse rate measurement. Therefore, the CPU 10 does not advance the step and executes the process of step S203 again.
- the CPU 10 starts measuring the pulse rate. That is, the light emitting unit 15 is turned on (step S204), the detection result of the amount of light received by the light receiving unit 17 is periodically acquired (step S205), and the pulse is detected from the change in the amount of received light.
- the frequency of acquiring the amount of light received by the light receiving unit 17 is not particularly limited, but can be, for example, every 10 msec.
- the CPU 10 calculates the pulse rate based on the pulse detection result, and outputs the obtained pulse rate (displays it on the display unit 12) (step S206). When step S206 ends, the CPU 10 ends the pulse rate measurement start process and returns the process to the pulse rate measurement process of FIG.
- step S101 the pulse rate measurement start process
- step S102 skin determination step
- FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a control procedure by the CPU 10 for skin determination processing.
- the CPU 10 determines whether or not the amount of light received by the light receiving unit 17 is equal to or less than the first reference value V1 (step S301).
- the CPU 10 determines whether or not the amount of light received by the light receiving unit 17 is equal to or less than the first reference value V1 (step S301).
- any one of the data of the amount of light received by the light receiving unit 17 acquired for detecting the pulse may be used for determination.
- step S301 When it is determined that the amount of received light is equal to or less than the first reference value V1 (“YES” in step S301), the CPU 10 determines that the skin satisfies the darkness condition (step S302), and flags the wearing determination execution flag. is set to "0" (step S303).
- step S301 When it is determined that the amount of received light is greater than the first reference value V1 ("NO" in step S301), the CPU 10 determines that the skin does not satisfy the darkness condition (step S304), and executes the wearing determination. The value of the flag is set to "1" (step S305).
- This skin determination process is executed when it is determined in the pulse rate measurement start process of FIG. 6 that the change in acceleration is equal to or greater than the criterion ("YES" in step S203) and pulse rate measurement is started (step S206). is performed on That is, skin determination is performed based on the amount of light received by the light receiving unit 17 when detecting the pulse. As a result, while the electronic timepiece 1 is worn by the user, it is possible to appropriately perform skin determination based on the amount of received light that reflects the brightness of the skin.
- step S303 or S304 ends, the CPU 10 ends the skin determination process and returns the process to the pulse rate measurement process of FIG.
- step S103 determines whether or not the wearing determination execution flag is "1" (step S103).
- step S104 mounting determination step
- FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing a control procedure by the CPU 10 in the mounting determination process.
- the CPU 10 substitutes "0" for a variable N representing the number of non-wearing detections (step S401).
- the CPU 10 acquires the detection result of the amount of light received by the light receiving unit 17 and the detection result of acceleration by the acceleration sensor 18 (step S402). In addition, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the change in acceleration is equal to or greater than the above-described determination criteria in the acquired acceleration detection result (step S403).
- step S404 determines whether the amount of light received by the light receiving unit 17 is greater than the second reference value V2 (step S404). If it is determined that the amount of received light is equal to or less than the second reference value V2 ("NO" in step S404), the change in acceleration is less than the determination criterion and the amount of received light is the second reference value for the wearing determination. There is a possibility that the electronic timepiece 1 is not worn by the user because it is less than or equal to the reference value V2. Therefore, the CPU 10 counts up the variable N representing the number of non-wearing detections (step S405).
- the CPU 10 determines whether or not the variable N is greater than or equal to the reference number of times (step S406). When it is determined that the variable N is equal to or greater than the reference number of times ("NO" in step S406), the CPU 10 returns the process to step S402 and executes the process loop of steps S402 to S406 again. If it is determined that the variable N is greater than or equal to the reference number of times ("YES" in step S406), the CPU 10 determines that the electronic timepiece 1 is not worn by the user (step S407).
- the process advances to step S407 to determine that the device is not attached.
- the reference number of times is determined so that the time required for the variable N to reach the reference number of times is the predetermined time.
- the predetermined time can be set arbitrarily, and can be set to about 5 seconds, for example.
- step S403 determines that the change in acceleration is greater than or equal to the criterion ("YES" in step S403), or if it is determined in step S404 that the amount of light received is greater than the second reference value V2. If so ("YES" in step S404), the CPU 10 determines that the electronic timepiece 1 is worn by the user (step S408). According to this determination method, for example, even when the user wearing the electronic timepiece 1 keeps his arm still, the amount of light received by the light receiving unit 17 is equal to or greater than the second reference value V2. , it can be appropriately determined that the device is worn by the user. Therefore, it is possible to perform more accurate wearing determination than the determination method using only the detection result of the acceleration sensor 18 . When step S407 or step S408 ends, the CPU 10 ends the wearing determination process and returns the process to the pulse rate measurement process of FIG.
- step S104 the wearing determination process in FIG. 5 ends, the CPU 10 switches subsequent processes according to the result of the wearing determination (step S105). If the determination result is "non-wearing", the CPU 10 turns off the light emitting unit 15 and stops detecting and measuring the pulse rate (step S106). After that, the CPU 10 executes pulse rate measurement restart processing for restarting the pulse rate measurement at an appropriate timing when the electronic timepiece 1 is put on again.
- FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing the control procedure by the CPU 10 of the pulse rate measurement resuming process.
- the CPU 10 acquires the detection result of acceleration by the acceleration sensor 18 (step S501).
- the CPU 10 determines whether or not the change in acceleration is equal to or greater than the above-described criterion (step S502) based on the acquired acceleration detection result. "NO" in step S502), the process returns to step S501.
- the CPU 10 When it is determined that the change in acceleration is equal to or greater than the criterion ("YES" in step S502), the CPU 10 turns on the light emitting unit 15 (step S503), and periodically reports the detection result of the amount of light received by the light receiving unit 17. (step S504).
- the frequency of obtaining the amount of light received here may be lower than the detection frequency when detecting the pulse, and may be, for example, several tens of milliseconds.
- the CPU 10 determines whether or not the amount of light received by the light receiving unit 17 is greater than the second reference value V2 (step S505). When it is determined that the amount of received light is equal to or less than the second reference value V2 ("NO" in step S505), the CPU 10 acquires the acceleration detection result by the acceleration sensor 18 again, and the change in acceleration is used as the determination criterion. It is determined whether or not the above is satisfied (step S506). If it is determined that the change in acceleration is less than the reference value ("NO" in step S506), the user is not wearing the electronic timepiece 1 at this stage, and it is not appropriate to restart pulse rate measurement. can be judged. Therefore, the CPU 10 turns off the light emitting unit 15 (step S507) and returns the process to step S501.
- step S506 determines whether the change in acceleration is greater than or equal to the criterion ("YES" in step S506). If it is determined in step S506 that the change in acceleration is greater than or equal to the criterion ("YES" in step S506), the CPU 10 returns the process to step S504, and repeats the processing loop of steps S504 to S506. Run.
- step S505 determines that the amount of received light is greater than the second reference value V2 (“YES" in step S505), there is a possibility that the electronic timepiece 1 is worn by the user. can be judged. Therefore, the CPU 10 further confirms that the device is worn by the user, and then executes the processing of steps S508 to S511 for restarting the pulse rate measurement.
- the CPU 10 determines whether the amount of light received by the light receiving unit 17 is greater than the second reference value V2 and satisfies a predetermined stability condition (step S508).
- the stability condition is determined by, for example, the following method. That is, of the two received light amounts acquired at the two most recent acquisition timings, when the smaller one is R1 and the larger one is R2, (R2-R1)/R1 is below a predetermined upper limit value. is determined to satisfy the stability condition.
- the above upper limit value can be set as appropriate, but the smaller the upper limit value is, the more likely it is that the problem of resuming pulse rate measurement in the non-wearing state can be reduced. Note that the method for determining the stability condition is not limited to the above.
- the CPU 10 When it is determined that the amount of received light is greater than the second reference value V2 and satisfies the stability condition ("YES" in step S508), the CPU 10 periodically acquires the amount of received light for pulse rate measurement. is started (step S509).
- the amount of received light may be obtained at a frequency higher than that obtained in step S504 (for example, every 10 msec).
- the CPU 10 starts pulse detection based on the acquired amount of received light.
- the CPU 10 again determines whether the amount of light received by the light receiving unit 17 is greater than the second reference value V2 and satisfies the predetermined stability condition (step S510). If it is determined in step S508 or step S509 that the amount of received light is equal to or less than the second reference value V2 or that the amount of received light does not satisfy the stability condition (“NO” in steps S508 and S510), the CPU 10 returns to processing step S504.
- step S510 If it is determined in step S510 that the amount of received light is greater than the second reference value V2 and that the stability condition is met ("YES" in step S510), the CPU 10 determines the pulse rate based on the pulse detection frequency or the like. The number is measured, and the obtained pulse rate is output and displayed on the display unit 12 (step S511). That is, pulse rate measurement is restarted.
- the reason why the determination in step S510 is the same as in step S508 is to restart the pulse rate measurement after confirming that the user has not removed the electronic timepiece 1 from step S508 to step S510.
- step S511 ends, the CPU 10 ends the pulse rate measurement resuming process and returns the process to the pulse rate measurement process of FIG.
- step S107 When the pulse rate measurement resuming process (step S107) ends in FIG. 5, the CPU 10 returns the process to step S103.
- step S103 when it is determined that the mounting determination execution flag is "0" ("NO" in step S103), the CPU 10 does not execute the processing of steps S104 to S107, and shifts the processing to step S108. Let Further, when it is determined in step S105 that the determination result of the wearing determination process is "wearing", the CPU 10 also causes the process to proceed to step S108.
- step S108 the CPU 10 determines whether an instruction to end pulse rate measurement has been issued. For example, when a user's input operation for ending pulse rate measurement is accepted on the pulse rate measurement application, it is determined that an instruction to end pulse rate measurement has been issued. When it is determined that the end instruction has not been issued ("NO" in step S108), the CPU 10 returns the process to step S103. When it is determined that the termination instruction has been given (“YES” in step S108), the CPU 10 turns off the light emitting unit 15 to stop the detection of the pulse and the measurement of the pulse rate (step S109), and the pulse rate measurement process. terminate.

Based on the amount of light received by the light receiving unit 17, the CPU 10 as a control unit performs skin determination to determine whether or not the user's skin satisfies a predetermined darkness condition.
- the CPU 10 as a control unit performs wearing determination to determine whether or not the device is worn by the user, based on at least the amount of light received by the light receiving unit 17, and determines that the darkness condition is satisfied in the skin determination. If it is determined, the wearing determination is not performed. Accordingly, it is possible to suitably perform the determination related to the wearing state. For example, when the electronic timepiece 1 is worn by the user, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of an erroneous determination that the electronic timepiece 1 is not worn.
- the CPU 10 as a control unit performs wearing determination when it is determined in the skin determination that the darkness condition is not satisfied. According to this, since the wearing judgment is performed when the skin is bright, it is possible to prevent the malfunction of erroneously judging that the skin is not worn due to the small amount of received light reflected by the skin. can be done.
- the CPU 10 as a control unit detects the pulse based on the change in the amount of light received by the light receiving unit 17 .

図1は、電子時計1の外観を示す斜視図である。
電子時計1(電子機器)は、ユーザの手首に装着されて使用される腕時計である。電子時計1は、表示画面121及び操作ボタン131などが設けられた本体部2と、当該本体部2に取り付けられたベルト3とを備える。表示画面121は、ドットマトリクス形式でデジタル表示を行う。電子時計1は、表示画面121において、時刻や日付等の基本情報の他、ユーザの脈拍数(心拍数)の計測結果などを表示する。
電子時計1は、本体部2の内部に、脈拍の検出に用いられる発光部15及び受光部17を備える。発光部15及び受光部17は、本体部2の裏面、すなわち装着時にユーザの手首に触れる面の近傍に設けられている。発光部15は、本体部2の裏面から外部に向かって光を射出する。電子時計1がユーザに装着されているときには、発光部15から射出された光がユーザの手首の肌により反射する。受光部17は、このユーザの肌により反射した光を受光可能な位置に設けられている。ユーザの肌に照射された光の一部は、血管内の血液により吸収される。このため、肌からの反射光の受光部17による受光量は、心臓の脈動に伴う血流量の変化に応じて経時変化する。この受光量の変化に基づいて脈拍が検出され、検出された脈拍に基づいて脈拍数が計測される。
電子時計1は、CPU10(Central Processing Unit)と、メモリ11(記憶部)と、表示部12と、操作受付部13と、発振回路141と、分周回路142と、計時回路143と、発光部15と、発光駆動部16と、受光部17と、加速度センサ18と、A/Dコンバータ19などを備える。
次に、電子時計1の動作について、脈拍数の計測に係る動作を中心に説明する。
図4Aは、明るい肌のユーザが電子時計1を使用した場合の受光部17による受光量の例を示す。図4Bは、暗い肌のユーザが電子時計1を使用した場合の受光部17による受光量の例を示す。詳しくは、図4Aは、フィッツパトリックのスキンタイプにおいてタイプIに分類される肌のユーザが電子時計1を使用した場合を示す。一方、図4Bは、フィッツパトリックのスキンタイプにおいてタイプVIに分類される肌のユーザが電子時計1を使用した場合を示す。
図5は、脈拍数計測処理のCPU10による制御手順を示すフローチャートである。
脈拍数計測処理が開始されると、CPU10は、脈拍数計測開始処理を実行する(ステップS101)。
脈拍数計測開始処理が開始されると、CPU10は、脈拍数計測の開始要求があるか否かを判定する(ステップS201)。例えば、脈拍数計測アプリ上で、脈拍数の計測を開始させるためのユーザの入力操作が受け付けられた場合に、脈拍数計測の開始要求があると判定される。脈拍数計測の開始要求がないと判定された場合には(ステップS201で“NO”)、CPU10は、再度ステップS201の処理を実行する。
ステップS206が終了すると、CPU10は、脈拍数計測開始処理を終了させて、処理を図5の脈拍数計測処理に戻す。
肌判定処理が開始されると、CPU10は、受光部17による受光量が第1の基準値V1以下であるか否かを判定する(ステップS301)。ここでは、脈拍の検出のために取得している受光部17の受光量のうちいずれか一つのデータを用いて判定すればよい。
ステップS303又はS304が終了すると、CPU10は、肌判定処理を終了させて、処理を図5の脈拍数計測処理に戻す。
装着判定処理が開始されると、CPU10は、非装着検出回数を表す変数Nに「0」を代入する(ステップS401)。
ステップS407又はステップS408が終了すると、CPU10は、装着判定処理を終了させて、処理を図5の脈拍数計測処理に戻す。
脈拍数計測再開処理が開始されると、CPU10は、加速度センサ18による加速度の検出結果を取得する(ステップS501)。CPU10は、取得した加速度の検出結果において、加速度の変化が上述の判定基準以上であるか否かを判定し(ステップS502)、加速度の変化が判定基準未満であると判定された場合には(ステップS502で“NO”)、処理をステップS501に戻す。
ステップS511が終了すると、CPU10は、脈拍数計測再開処理を終了させて、処理を図5の脈拍数計測処理に戻す。
以上のように、本実施形態に係る、ユーザに装着される電子機器としての電子時計1は、ユーザの肌に光を射出する発光部15と、自機器がユーザに装着されているとき、且つ発光部15が光を照射しているときに当該ユーザの肌により反射した光を受光可能な位置に設けられた受光部17と、制御部として機能するCPU10と、を備える。制御部としてのCPU10は、受光部17による受光量に基づいて、ユーザの肌が所定の暗さ条件を満たしているか否かを判定する肌判定を行う。また、制御部としてのCPU10は、少なくとも受光部17による受光量に基づいて、自機器がユーザに装着されているか否かを判定する装着判定を行い、肌判定において暗さ条件を満たしていると判定した場合には、装着判定を行わない。これにより、装着状態に係る判定を好適に行うことができる。例えば、電子時計1がユーザに装着されているときに非装着であるとの誤判定がなされる不具合を生じにくくすることができる。
なお、上記実施形態における記述は、本発明に係る電子機器、電子機器の制御方法及びプログラムの一例であり、これに限定されるものではない。
例えば、電子機器として電子時計1を例示したが、これに限られない。例えば、電子機器は、活動量計などの各種のウェアラブルデバイスであってもよい。また、電子機器は、肌判定及び装着判定に用いる発光部及び受光部を有するものであればよく、脈拍検出が可能なものに限られない。脈拍検出を行わない電子機器では、例えば加速度の変化が上記の判定条件以上である場合に、ユーザに装着されているとみなして肌判定を行えばよい。また、電子機器の装着位置は、手首に限られない。
