图2示出了一种智能手表的示意图。
如图2所示,在该智能手表20中,其侧面设置有第一按键201和第二按键202。其中,第一按键201中可设置有第一生物特征信息的检测装置,该第一生物特征信息的检测装置可用于检测用户的血压、心率、血氧等生物特征信息。作为示例,该第一生物特征信息的检测装置201中可包括:光源和光检测器,光源向按压于第一按键201的用户手指发射光信号,该光信号经过用户手指内的血管反射或散射后,可被光检测器接收。其中,经过用户手指内的血管反射或散射后的光信号可携带有用户的血压、心率、血氧等信息,其被光检测器接收后,经过光电转换以及相关信号处理,可形成光电容积脉搏波描记(Photo Plethysmography,PPG)信号,该PPG信号经过进一步的算法处理后,可得到用户的血压、心率、血氧等生物特征信息。

在该实施方式中,第一按键201和第二按键202分别位于智能手表20的两侧,当用户进行生物特征信息检测时,需分别用两个手指按压在第一按键201和第二按键202上。一方面,这种方式对于用户来说操作复杂度较高,不仅需要两个手指进行按压,而且两个手指的按压操作需要保持较高的同步性,否则不利于提高生物特征信息检测结果的准确度;另一方面,这种方式需要占用较大的空间,且外观美观度不高。
鉴于此,本申请提出一种生物特征信息的检测装置,可将上述第一生物特征信息的检测装置和第二生物特征信息的检测装置集成设置,用户通过单个手指的按压,即可实现心电图、血压等多种生物特征信息的同步检测。
图3示出了本申请实施例提供的一种生物特征信息的检测装置300的示意性结构图。可选地,在一些实施方式中,该生物特征信息的检测装置300可为上文图1所示实施例中的生物特征信息的检测装置170,其可用于设置于上文图1所示的电子设备10或图2所示的智能手表20中。

通过本申请实施例的技术方案,生物特征信息的检测装置300同时包括ECG电极320和PPG检测模块330,其中,ECG电极320设置于透光盖板 310朝向用户手指的第一表面311,而PPG检测模块330设置于透光盖板310背离用户手指的一侧,在用户手指按压于透光盖板310时,ECG电极320和PPG检测模块可同步工作,并分别检测得到用户手指的ECG信号和PPG信号,该ECG信号和PPG信号用于共同处理得到用户的生物特征信息,例如心电和血压信息,由于心电和血压方面的疾患都是人体心血管系统内病变的外在表现,在本质上是相关的,因而同步记录心电和血压的动态信息并客观地利用二者之间的内在关联,可以提高检测的准确度。在此基础上,一方面,用户仅通过单个手指的单次按压即可实现生物特征信息的检测,可以便于用户操作且提升用户的使用体验,另一方面,ECG电极320和PPG检测模块330也不需要分别设置在电子设备的不同位置,从而可以节约生物特征信息的检测装置300在电子设备中占用的空间,在提升电子设备美观度的同时,还有利于电子设备轻薄化和小型化的发展。
具体地,在本申请实施例中,PPG检测模块330中的光源331包括但不限于是点状光源,例如,发光二极管(Light-Emitting Diode,LED),激光二极管(Laser Diode,LD)或者红外发射二极管,其还可以为线状光源或者面状光源。另外,光源331的数量可以为一个或多个,该一个或多个光源331可用于发射一个或者多个目标波段的光信号,该目标波段的光信号可用于穿过用户手指,并携带有用户手指中血管、血液等相关的生物特征信号。可选地,该目标波段的光信号包括但不限于是可见光信号和/或红外光信号。作为示例,目标波段可以是红光波段或者是绿光波段。本申请实施例对光源331的类型、数量以及发射光波长均不做具体限定。

为了使得PPG检测模块330中的光源331发射的光信号能够到达用户手指,且经过用户手指后的光信号能够到达PPG检测模块330中的光检测器332,用于承受用户手指的界面需为透光界面,即本申请实施例中的透光 盖板310。具体地,该透光盖板310透过的光信号波长可根据PPG检测模块330中的光源331发射的光信号的波长确定。作为一种示例,PPG检测模块330中光源331用于发射可见光,对应的,透光盖板310可用于通过可见光。
可选地,在一些实施方式中,透光盖板310可为透明材料,例如玻璃或者树脂等透光率高的材料,可减少光信号经过盖板时的衰减,提高PPG检测模块330接收的光信号强度。

通过该实施方式,采用该真空镀膜工艺,可以在真空环境下,在透光盖板310的第一表面311沉积制备一层厚度较薄的金属层以形成ECG电极320,在实现导电功能的同时,不仅占用空间较小,还可以使得检测装置300在朝向用户的表面具有较高的美观度,从而进一步提升了用户对于检测装置300的使用体验,且进一步降低了检测装置300在电子设备中所需占用的空间。
作为示例而非限定,该ECG电极320的厚度可小于或等于5μm。
可选地,在一些实施方式中,该ECG电极320可为非透明的金属电极,例如,该ECG电极320的材料包括但不限于是金属铬(Cr)材料。在该情况下,为了实现PPG检测模块330的检测功能,该ECG电极320中需设置有开孔,且该开孔对应于光源331和光检测器332设置。
作为一种示例,光源331和光检测器332可与ECG电极320中的同一开孔对应,该开孔可完全覆盖于光源331和光检测器332。或者,作为另一种示例,光源331和光检测器332可分别与ECG电极320中的两个开孔对应,该两个开孔分别覆盖于光源331和光检测器332。
通过本申请实施例的技术方案,在非透明的ECG电极320中设置开孔,使得该ECG电极320的设置不会对PPG检测模块330的检测功能造成影响,同步实现ECG检测功能和PPG检测功能。与此同时,ECG电极320为非透明的金属电极,可以使得检测装置300内部的大部分结构对用户不可见,从而优化检测装置300的外观,进一步提升用户的使用体验。
在另一些实施方式中,ECG电极320也可为透明电极,该透明电极基本 不会影响光信号的通过,因此基本不会影响PPG检测模块330的检测功能。在保证PPG检测模块330的检测功能的基础上,该透明的ECG电极320可完全覆盖透光盖板310的第一表面311,而不需要在该透明的ECG电极320上再进行开孔等额外处理,可以提高ECG电极320的加工效率,降低ECG电极320的制造成本。
作为示例而非限定,该透明的ECG电极的材料包括但不限于是:氧化铟锡(Indium tin oxide,ITO)。

另外,为了实现检测装置300中多个模块之间的相互配合安装,如图7所示,PPG检测模块330还可包括:第一支架336,用于固定安装上述电路板333。可选地,该第一支架336的外形形状可适配于电路板333,以对该电路板333起到充分的支撑,保证位于该电路板333上光源331、光检测器332等部件的稳定性。
可选地,为了实现电路板333与外部电学部件的电连接,PPG检测模块330还可包括:柔性电路板335,其一端连接至电路板333,另一端可通过连 接器等结构连接至检测装置300所在电子设备的主板或者其它电学部件。该柔性电路板335具有较高的柔韧性以及较薄的厚度,能够弯折从而可方便地实现其在电子设备中的安装。
进一步的,参见图7,压力检测模块370还可包括:第二支架373和保护盖板374,其中,第二支架373用于安装上述悬臂梁371,保护盖板374扣合于第二支架372,并用于保护悬臂梁371以及位于该悬臂梁371上的应变式压力传感器372。
可选地,如图7所示,第二支架373可为框型结构,悬臂梁371可安装于该框型支架中。另外,上述PPG检测模块330的第一支架336的外形尺寸可适配于第二支架373,且该第一支架336可接触于第二支架373中安装的悬臂梁371。当用户手指按压于透光盖板310时,按压压力可通过PPG检测模块330中的第一支架336传递至压力检测模块370中的悬臂梁371,从而实现悬臂梁371上应变式压力传感器372进行压力信号的检测。
另外,第二支架373的材料包括但不限于是金属材料。该金属材料的第二支架373不仅可以提升检测装置300整体外观的美观度,还可以用于作为静电释放的部件,对压力检测模块370中的压力传感器等部件起到保护作用,提升检测装置300的使用可靠性。
上文图7所示实施例示出了检测装置300的一种爆炸示意图,该检测装置300中的各部件相互配合安装后,图8示出了该检测装置300的一种立体结构示意图。
如图8所示,上述第二支架373、保护盖板373可作为检测装置300的基础外壳,其中不仅可容纳压力传感器等部件,还可容纳至少部分的PPG检测模块330,例如,可容纳至少部分的第一支架336。
可选地,如图7和图8所示,PPG检测模块330可包括:限位凸缘3341,当用户手指按压于透光盖板310时,该PPG检测模块330接触于悬臂梁371,且能够通过该限位凸缘3341抵接于第二支架373,以限制用户手指通过透光盖板310和PPG检测模块330施加于悬臂梁371上的压力。通过该实施方式的技术方案,可以避免该较大的压力作用于压力检测模块370中的悬臂梁371,从而避免该较大的压力造成悬臂梁371的损坏,保证检测装置300的使用可靠性。
作为示例,在图7和图8所示实施例中,限位凸缘3341可形成于PPG 检测模块330中的支撑件334。具体地,限位凸缘3341可形成于支撑件334的外围。当用户手指按压于透光盖板310时,PPG检测模块330与透光盖板310的整体朝向第二支架373中的悬臂梁371移动,并向悬臂梁371施加压力。当限位凸缘3341随PPG检测模块330运动,并抵接至第二支架373时,该第二支架373限制了用户手指的进一步按压,且能够承受用户手指一部分的按压压力。因此,通过限位凸缘3341和第二支架373之间的相互配合设计,可限制用户手指对悬臂梁371造成过大的压力,影响压力检测的正常进行。
本申请还提供一种电子设备,该电子设备可以包括上述任一申请实施例中的生物特征信息的检测装置300。
可选地,该电子设备可以为智能手表或者手机。该检测装置300可设置于电子设备的任意表面,以便于用户手指对该检测装置300进行按压。作为示例,检测装置300可设置于电子设备的侧面。
图9示出了本申请实施例提供的电子设备30的一种示意性结构图。
如图9所示,电子设备30可为智能手表,上述检测装置300可设置于该智能手表的侧面。结合图8和图9可以看出,检测装置300的整体外形可为较为规则的形态,可较为方便的在智能手表等电子设备中安装,且具有较高的美观度。当该检测装置300设置于智能手表的侧面时,其可看成是位于智能手表侧面的一个按键,方便用户手指进行按压。
可选地,该检测装置300除了可实现生物特征信息的检测以外,还可集成电子设备30的其它功能。例如,当该检测装置300作为按键时,其还可以实现电子设备的开关功能,即将检测装置300的按键同时作为电子设备30的电源键。通过该实施方式的技术方案,可以进一步降低电子设备30的制造成本,有利于电子设备30的轻薄化和小型化的发展。
