The objects, technical solution and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following further detailed description of embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
The wireless communication unit 102 includes the wireless antenna 1021, all or part of the metal housing 101 is used as an antenna area for setting the wireless antenna 1021, and a common conductor 105 is provided for the antenna area; in the embodiment, as shown in
In order to reduce the volume occupied by the wireless antenna in the smart terminal, and make the outline and shape of the smart terminal more compact, all of the metal housing 101 may be used as the wireless antenna 1021; as shown in
In the specific implementation way, the entire metal housing 101 may be provided as the wireless antenna 1021 or a portion of the metal housing 101 may be provided as the wireless antenna 1021 by selecting the structure of the smart terminal and the specifications of the desired antenna. Repeatability will not be carried out here.
As shown in
In the above-described embodiments of the present invention, the signal selection unit 104 screens out a signal from the wireless antenna 1021 out of signals transmitted on the common conductor 105, sends the signal to the wireless communication unit, screens out a signal from the detection contact point 1031 out of the signals transmitted on the common conductor 105 and sends the signal to the human body information detection unit 103. That is, the signal selection unit 104 is capable of receiving the signals transmitted from the common conductor 105, and screening out the wireless signals from the wireless antenna 1021 and the signals of the human body information from the detection contact point 1031 of the human body information detection unit 103, respectively.
In one embodiment of the present invention, human body information data detected by the detection contact point 1031 include one or more of heart rate data, blood pressure data, pulse data and body temperature data; the human body information detection unit 103 calculates the human body state detection result based on the human body information data detected by the detection contact point 1031.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the body information detection unit 103 may be a heart rate detection module, and the heart rate detection module is provided with two detection contact points. One detection contact point is provided on the back of the smart terminal and in contact with the human skin; and the other detection contact point is provided in the antenna area. The heart rate data of the human body is detected by detecting the contact point, and the detected heart rate data are sent to the heart rate detection module, and the heart rate detection module calculates the psychological result of the human body based on the detected heart rate data.
The high frequency switch 204 screens out a signal having a frequency higher than a first preset value from the signal transmitted on the common conductor 205, to use the signal as the signal from the wireless antenna 2021, and the high frequency switch gets through a branch connected with the wireless communication unit 202, and shuts down a branch connected with the human body information detection unit 203, to send the signal which is screened out to the wireless communication unit 202;
the high frequency switch screens out a signal having a frequency higher than a second preset value from the signal transmitted on the common conductor, to use the signal as the signal from the wireless antenna 2031, and the high frequency switch shuts down a branch connected with the wireless communication unit 202, and gets through the branch connected with the human body information detection unit 203, to send the signal which is screened out to the human body information detection unit 203.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the frequency of the wireless signal received by the wireless antenna 2021 belongs to a high frequency signal, which is basically more than 2.4 GHz, the frequency of the signal received by the detection contact point 2031 belongs to a low frequency signal, which is substantially within 200 Hz, and therefore, by setting the high frequency switch 204, only the branch connected with the wireless communication unit 202 is connected when the high frequency signal is received; and only the branch connected with the human body information detection unit 203 is connected when the low frequency signal is received, thus achieving the screening out of the signals collected respectively.
As shown in
The high-pass filter 3041 screens out the signal from the wireless antenna 3021 out of the signal transmitted on the common conductor 305 and sends the signal to the wireless communication unit 302, and the low-pass filter 3042 screens out the signal from the detection contact point out of the signal transmitted on the common conductor 305 and sends the signal to the human body information detection unit 303.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the frequency of the wireless signal received by the wireless antenna 3021 belongs to the high frequency signal, which is basically more than 2.4 GHz, the frequency of the signal received by the detection contact point 3031 belongs to the low frequency signal, which is substantially within 200 Hz, furthermore, a low-frequency cutoff frequency of the high-pass filter 3041 may be 2.35 GHz, and therefore, it is possible to efficiently isolate the low-frequency signal from the wireless communication unit 302 by setting the high-frequency filter 3041, that is, only the signal from the wireless antenna 3021 is screened out. A high frequency cutoff frequency of the low pass filter 3042 may be selected to be 300 Hz, so that the wireless signal may be effectively isolated by setting the low pass filter 3042, that is, only the signal from the detection contact 3031 is screened out from the signal transmitted on the common conductor 305, thus achieving the screening out of the signals collected respectively.
It can be seen that in the smart terminal in the prior art, a separate conductor 4051 for the additional human body information detection unit 403 is needed to be provided. As the smart terminal such as the wrist watch has the defect of a small volume, not only the metal housing additionally provided at the smart terminal in the prior art and the separate conductor compress the overall internal space of the wrist watch, but also the small volume of the metal housing causes the contact area between the human body information detection unit and the human body to be small, and causes the distance between the two detection contact points of the human body information detection unit to be too short, resulting in a problem that the detection result is not accurate enough.
In combination with
In one embodiment of the present invention, the wireless communication unit 302 may be one or more of the followings:
