  • Publication number: 20240138721
    Abstract: An apparatus for estimating a concentration of a component includes a sensor including a plurality of light sources having different central wavelengths and at least one detector configured to detect light, and a processor configured to determine a first reflectance of skin using a first light source of the plurality of light sources, set an operating condition of the sensor based on the determined first reflectance, drive the plurality of light sources according to the operating condition, and estimate a concentration of an analyte component based on a plurality of light quantities detected from skin by the at least one detector.

  • Patent number: 11971348
    Abstract: An electronic device may include an optical sensor configured to emit a reference light to a reference object and detect the reference light reflected from the reference object during calibration, and emit a measurement light to a target object and detect the measurement light reflected from the target object during a measurement; and a processor configured to perform the calibration of the optical sensor while the electronic device is disposed to oppose or in contact with the reference object by controlling the optical sensor to emit and detect the reference light, and estimate bio-information based on a light quantity of the measurement light that is reflected from the target object by the optical sensor, and a light quantity of the reference light reflected from the reference object.

  • Publication number: 20240090771
    Abstract: An apparatus for estimating bio-information includes: a sensor including one or more light sources configured to emit light to an object and a plurality of detectors configured to detect light reflected from the object; and a processor configured to transform a plurality of light quantities obtained from respective detectors of the plurality of detectors to a distance domain, to combine the plurality of transformed light quantities in the distance domain, to correct the combined light quantity based on a reference light quantity for correcting a deviation of a distance between the one or more light sources and the plurality of detectors, and to estimate bio-information based on a light quantity resulting from the correction.

  • Publication number: 20160192774
    Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a tablet computing device includes an arm having first and second ends; a support base detachably fastened to the second end of the arm by an attachment member wherein the support base includes a recess formed on the bottom surface of the support base and a through hole formed on the recess; and a receiving plate, mounted on the first end of the arm to receive the tablet computing device. The receiving plate includes a receiving portion having an annular mounting portion with an inner rim and outer rim which are concentric such that the tablet computing device can mount on the annular mounting portion facing downward for allowing the user to see the screen of the tablet computing device from below the receiving portion.
