Please refer to the detailed descriptions and figures of the present disclosure mentioned below for further understanding the technology, method and effect of the present disclosure achieving the predetermined purposes. It believes that the purposes, characteristic and features of the present disclosure can be understood deeply and specifically. However, the figures are only for references and descriptions, but the present disclosure is not limited by the figures.
In the present disclosure, numerous specific details are provided, to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the disclosure. Persons of ordinary skill in the art will recognize, however, that the present disclosure can be practiced without one or more of the specific details. In other instances, well-known details are not shown or described to avoid obscuring aspects of the present disclosure. Now please refer to the figures for the explanation of the technical content and the detailed description of the present disclosure:
It should be noted that the present disclosure only needs the microprocessor 102, the millimeter wave radar 104 and the electrocardiogram machine 106 to achieve the effect and the purpose of the present disclosure. Except the millimeter wave radar 104 and the electrocardiogram machine 106, the other components of the millimeter wave radar apparatus 10 of the present disclosure mentioned above can be integrated into a computer 134. The millimeter wave radar apparatus 10 of the present disclosure is applied to a human body 20.
The millimeter wave radar 104 is configured to determine/detect the human body 20 to obtain a plurality of wireless vital-sign signals 108. After the millimeter wave radar 104 obtains the wireless vital-sign signals 108, the microprocessor 102 is configured to receive the wireless vital-sign signals 108. The electrocardiogram machine 106 is configured to determine/detect the human body 20 to obtain a plurality of wired vital-sign signals 110. After the electrocardiogram machine 106 obtains the wired vital-sign signals 110, the microprocessor 102 is configured to receive the wired vital-sign signals 110. After the microprocessor 102 receives the wireless vital-sign signals 108 and the wired vital-sign signals 110, the microprocessor 102 is configured to synchronously output an n-th of the wireless vital-sign signals 108 and the n-th of the wired vital-sign signals 110, wherein the n is an integer greater than zero, namely, 1, 2, 3 and so on.
This is because the vital-sign signals determined/detected and generated by different apparatuses may not be synchronized (or may be synchronized). For example, due to the difference in signal processing time, the vital-sign signals determined/detected and generated by a certain apparatus within a fixed time is less than the vital-sign signals determined/detected and generated by another apparatus, which is called out of synchronization. For example, a certain apparatus determines/detects and generates 10 vital-sign signals within the fixed time, but another apparatus determines/detects and generates 20 vital-sign signals within the fixed time. If all the vital-sign signals are outputted in the fixed time, a certain apparatus will only output and display 10 vital-sign signals, but another apparatus will output and display 20 vital-sign signals; this will cause out-of-sync chaos.
For the present disclosure, the wireless vital-sign signals 108 determined/detected by the millimeter wave radar 104 and the wired vital-sign signals 110 determined/detected by the electrocardiogram machine 106 may not be synchronized (or may be synchronized). If the wireless vital-sign signals 108 determined/detected by the millimeter wave radar 104 and the wired vital-sign signals 110 determined/detected by the electrocardiogram machine 106 are not synchronized, the microprocessor 102 provided by the present disclosure is configured to be able to wait and synchronously (simultaneously) output the first of the wireless vital-sign signals 108 and the first of the wired vital-sign signals 110, and then wait and synchronously (simultaneously) output the second of the wireless vital-sign signals 108 and the second of the wired vital-sign signals 110, and then wait and synchronously (simultaneously) output the third of the wireless vital-sign signals 108 and the third of the wired vital-sign signals 110, and so on. Therefore, the present disclosure will not cause out-of-sync chaos.

The advantage of the present disclosure is to utilize the millimeter wave radar to verify whether the heartbeats of the human body determined/detected by the electrocardiogram machine are accurate. Moreover, a number of the heartbeats of a person in one minute is a fixed fact, so different apparatuses determining/detecting it shall obtain the similar data, but because the signal processing time of each apparatus is different, some data is generated fast but some data is generated slow.
