It should be understood that terms used in such a way are interchangeable in proper circumstances, so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in an order other than the order illustrated or described herein.

With reference to the accompanying drawings, the blood pressure detection method provided in the embodiments of this application is described in detail by using specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof.
The blood pressure detection method provided in the embodiments of this application is applied to an electronic device, where the electronic device is a rollable-display electronic device including a housing assembly, a rollable-display, and a PPG sensor, the PPG sensor is arranged on a frame of the housing assembly distributed along an unfolding direction of the rollable-display.
Optionally, the housing assembly includes a first housing and a second housing, the first housing and the second housing are connected in a sliding way, one end of the rollable-display is connected to the first housing, and the other end of the rollable-display is connected to the second housing. Driven by a reel motor, the rollable-display is retractable and can be switched between an unfolded state and a folded state.
In the unfolding process of the rollable-display, the first housing and/or the second housing can be driven by the reel motor to move, and then the rollable-display is driven to unfold. It is also possible to drive the rollable-display to unfold through the reel motor, and then drive the first housing and the second housing to move in opposite directions, so as to realize the unfolding process of the rollable-display.
The PPG sensor is used for the pulse wave signal in the arterial capillary of the user, and the detected pulse wave signal can be calculated to obtain corresponding systolic and diastolic blood pressure results based on a corresponding algorithm, that is, corresponding blood pressure detection results can be calculated.
In this application, in the process of blood pressure detection, the user can hold a position where the PPG sensor is arranged in the housing assembly. Moreover, in order to facilitate the user to quickly locate the PPG sensor on the housing assembly, a reminder sign, such as “PPG”, can also be displayed at the position where the PPG sensor is arranged on the housing assembly to remind the user.
Referring to
Step 101. In a case that a target user holds an area in which the PPG sensor is located, output a target torsion force through a reel motor of the electronic device, where the target torsion force is used to drive the rollable-display to unfold.
In this step, the target torsion force can be understood as a driving force that can drive the rollable-display to unfold, that is, the target torsion force is greater than a static friction force of the rollable-display and can drive the rollable-display to enter the unfolded state.
Step 102. In a case that an unfolding length of the rollable-display is maintained in a target length range, obtain a pulse wave signal detected by the PPG sensor.
In this step, in a case that the unfolding length of the rollable-display is maintained in the target length range, it can be understood that the target torsion force output by the reel motor is balanced with the holding force of the target user, so that the unfolding length of the rollable-display is maintained in a length range. That is, the relationship between the target torsion force and the holding force of the target user can be determined by detecting whether the unfolding length of the rollable-display is maintained in the target length range, and then the holding force of the user can be determined.
Because in the process of blood pressure detection, the target user needs to maintain the pressing force within the pressure range required for blood pressure detection, to improve the accuracy of blood pressure detection, the pressing force of the target user can be adjusted by controlling the target torsion force, so that the target user can maintain the pressing force within the pressure range required for blood pressure detection, and then the purpose of improving the accuracy of blood pressure detection can be achieved.
It can be understood that the target torsion force in this application is used to maintain the pressing force of the target user within the pressure range required for blood pressure detection.
Specifically, it can be determined whether the target torsion force output by the reel motor is in balance with the holding force of the target user (that is, the pressing force of the target user on the PPG sensor) by determining whether the unfolding length of the rollable-display is maintained in the target length range. When it is determined that the unfolding length of the rollable-display is maintained in the target length range, it is determined that the target torsion force output by the reel motor is in balance with the holding force of the target user, that is, the pressing force of the target user on the PPG sensor is within the pressure range required for blood pressure detection, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the accuracy of blood pressure detection.
Step 103. Generate a blood pressure detection result of the target user based on the pulse wave signal.
In this step, the blood pressure detection result includes a systolic blood pressure result and a diastolic blood pressure result, and the systolic blood pressure result and the diastolic blood pressure result can be calculated by fitting a virtual envelope curve based on the pulse wave signal.
In this way, by using the characteristics of the rollable-display electronic device, the holding power of the user can be maintained, based on the unfolding tension of the rollable-display of the rollable-display electronic device, within the pressure range required for blood pressure detection, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the accuracy of blood pressure detection.
Moreover, compared with the electronic device in the related art, a pressure detection sensor is added to detect the pressing force of the user, and a component layout of the electronic device can be simplified.
Because the pressure required for blood pressure detection is a range, the target torsion force of different ranges can be set, and detection results corresponding to different ranges can be obtained. Then the virtual envelope curve is fitted based on the detection results of different ranges, and the systolic blood pressure result and the diastolic blood pressure result are finally obtained through the envelope curve, so as to improve the accuracy of blood pressure detection.
In the process of blood pressure detection, the PPG sensor can collect pulse wave signals in the whole process, but in the process of generating detection results, only pulse wave signals that meet the condition are extracted to achieve the purpose of improving the accuracy of blood pressure detection.
As shown in
The control module 21 is separately electrically connected to the rollable-display 22, the motor driving module 23, and the reel ranging sensor 26. The motor driving module 23 is electrically connected to the reel motor 24.
The reel motor 24 is drivingly connected to the reel 25, and the reel ranging sensor 26 is arranged on the reel 25.
The reel ranging sensor 26 is used to detect the unfolding length of the rollable-display 22. Specifically, the unfolding length of the rollable-display 22 can be calculated by detecting a distance between the PPG sensor and the reel 25.
The reel motor 24 is used to drive the reel 25 to be unfolded or folded, so that the rollable-display can be switched between the unfolded state and the folded state.
In some implementations, the reel ranging sensor 26 can form a closed-loop control with the rollable-display 22 through the control module 21, so as to display the detection result of the reel ranging sensor 26 in real time through the rollable-display 22.
Optionally, in a case that an unfolding length of the rollable-display is maintained in a target length range, the obtaining a pulse wave signal detected by the PPG sensor includes:
in a case that the unfolding length of the rollable-display is maintained in the target length range, and the unfolding length of the rollable-display is maintained in the target length range for duration exceeding a first preset time, obtaining a pulse wave signal detected by the PPG sensor in a time period corresponding to the first preset time.
In this implementation, it is determined whether the target torsion force output by the reel motor is in balance with the holding force of the target user by determining the duration that the unfolding length of the rollable-display is maintained in the target length range, and it is determined that the target torsion force output by the reel motor is in balance with the holding force of the target user when the unfolding length of the rollable-display is maintained in the target length range for duration exceeding a first preset time (for example, 10 seconds), so as to improve the accuracy of the pulse wave signal detected by the PPG sensor and further achieve the purpose of improving the accuracy of blood pressure detection.
Optionally, after the outputting a target torsion force through a reel motor of the electronic device, in a case that an unfolding length of the rollable-display is maintained in a target length range, before the obtaining a pulse wave signal detected by the PPG sensor, the method further includes:
In this implementation, it can be determined whether the unfolding length of the rollable-display is maintained in the target length range by detecting the change of the unfolding length of the rollable-display, and then whether the target torsion force output by the reel motor is in balance with the holding force of the target user is determined.
In some implementations, the change of the unfolding length of the rollable-display can be detected by using the reel ranging sensor shown in
When the change of the unfolding length of the rollable-display meets the preset condition, it can be understood that the unfolding length of the rollable-display is not maintained within the target length range, that is, the holding force of the target user is too large or too small relative to the target torsion force.
Specifically, when the change of the unfolding length of the rollable-display indicates that the unfolding length of the rollable-display is greater than a maximum length of the target length range, prompt information is used to instruct the target user to increase the holding power and maintain the unfolding length of the rollable-display in the target length range, that is, maintain the rollable-display from unfolding and folding. Accordingly, when the change of the unfolding length of the rollable-display indicates that the unfolding length of the rollable-display is less than a minimum length of the target length range, the prompt information is used to instruct the target user to reduce the holding power and maintain the unfolding length of the rollable-display in the target length range, that is, maintain the rollable-display from unfolding and folding.
In addition, when the change of the unfolding length of the rollable-display indicates that the unfolding length of the rollable-display is maintained within the target length range, the prompt information is used to instruct the target user to maintain the holding power and maintain the rollable-display from unfolding and folding.
The prompt information can be output by voice playing to instruct the user to perform corresponding operations.
Optionally, the method further includes:
In this implementation, by displaying the blood pressure detection information in real time, especially the information such as the curve diagram of the target torsion force and the holding force of the target user, the countdown diagram of maintaining the holding force by the target user, the holding operation diagram, and the prompt information, it is convenient for the target user to adjust the blood pressure detection operation in time and improve the blood pressure detection experience of the user.
In some embodiments, the detection duration can be set to 10 seconds, that is, the duration for the user to maintain the holding power can be set to 10 seconds, and the countdown diagram of maintaining the holding force by the target user can be displayed on the rollable-display, so that the user can maintain the holding power, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the accuracy of the detection result.

In this way, by using the characteristics of the rollable-display electronic device, the holding power of the user can be maintained, based on the unfolding tension of the rollable-display of the rollable-display electronic device, within the pressure range required for blood pressure detection, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the accuracy of blood pressure detection.
