  • Publication number: 20240142684
    Abstract: An electronic device such as a wristwatch may be provided with conductive structures. The conductive structures may include a sensor electrode for an electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor. A coating may be disposed on the sensor electrode to reflect particular wavelengths of visible light so that the sensor electrode exhibits a desired color. The coating may include adhesion and transition layers on the sensor electrode, an opaque coloring layer on the adhesion and transition layers, and a thin-film interference filter on the opaque coloring layer. The thin-film interference filter may have an uppermost diamond-like carbon (DLC) layer. The DLC layer may contribute to the color response of the coating while concurrently minimizing noise in ECG waveforms gathered by the ECG sensor using the sensor electrode.

  • Patent number: 10257204
    Abstract: The present application provides an information processing method and an electronic apparatus that can automatically adjust the electronic apparatus to an information inaccessible state, thus the information security is enhanced. The method includes the steps of when a current state of the electronic apparatus is an information accessible state, obtaining an information of at least one parameter for determining whether it is necessary to adjust the current state from the information accessible state to an information inaccessible state or not; determining whether the at least one parameter meets a first preset condition or not to obtain a first determination result; when the first determination result is YES, adjusting the current state of the electronic apparatus to the information inaccessible state.
