Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
One innovative aspect is directed to heartrate data collection. In some implementations, a circuit includes a light detector for generating a detected signal based on received light. The circuit includes a switching circuit configured to receive a first signal based on the detected signal and to switch among a first and a second configuration. In some implementations, the circuit includes a first and a second sampling circuit for sampling a value of the first signal when the switching circuit is in the first configuration and second configurations, respectively. In some implementations, the circuit includes an ambient light cancellation circuit for countering a first component of the first signal while the first switching circuit is in the first configuration. In some implementations, the circuit includes an adjustable gain circuit for adjusting a gain of the first signal while the first switching circuit is in the first configuration.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A circuit comprising: a light detector for receiving light and for generating a first electrical signal based on the received light; a controller for generating one or more first control signals and one or more second control signals; a first switching circuit having at least a first configuration and a second configuration, the first switching circuit for: receiving a second electrical signal based on the first electrical signal, receiving the one or…
