Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A touch-sensitive display apparatus includes a multi-touch screen, a processor, and a network unit. The processor controls the apparatus to enter a pulse rate measuring mode, records the number of the touched touch points in each scanning period, and determines a curve according to all the recorded numbers within a preset period, the number of wave crests of the curve, and pulse rates per minute according to the number of the wave crests. A related method is also provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A touch-sensitive display apparatus comprising: a multi-touch screen configured to detect physical contact therewith; and a processor configured to: control the touch-sensitive display apparatus to enter a pulse rate measuring mode; for a plurality of scanning periods, detect a quantity of touch points on the multi-touch screen during sustained continuous contact by a user in each scanning period when in the pulse rate measuring mode; receive the quan…
