Abstract

A wearable device includes a testing portion, the testing portion includes receiving space, a bottom surface defining an opening, an opposite top surface, and a first side surface defining a slot. A white light source is received in the receiving space. A wearable portion of the device is secured to the testing portion and the wearable portion can be placed around a terminal device comprising a camera. The opening faces the camera when the wearable portion is around the terminal device, allowing the camera to capture a standard image of the white light, and capture a wet image of a test paper imbued with user bio-matter when the test paper is inserted into the slot. A biological information of the user, as an indicator of health, is calculated according to a color comparison between the wet image and the standard image.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A testing system for testing a biological information of a user comprising:
a terminal device comprising a camera;
a testing portion comprising:
a receiving space;
a bottom surface defining an opening communicating with the receiving space;
a top surface opposite to the bottom surface;
a first side surface positioned between and connecting the bottom surface and the top surface, and defining a slot communicating with the receiving space, the slot configured to receive a test paper which is wetted with a biologic fluid sample; and
a light source received in the receiving space and configured to emit white light; and

a wearable portion secured to the testing portion and configured to be placed around the terminal device;
wherein the opening faces the camera when the wearable portion is placed around the terminal device, thereby allowing the camera to capture a standard image based on the white light emitted by the light source, and to capture a wet image of the test paper when the test paper is inserted into the slot, the biological information of the user is calculated according to a color comparison between the wet image and the standard image.

2. The testing system of claim 1 , wherein the terminal device is configured to send the standard image and the wet image to the cloud server which compares the wet image with the standard image.

3. The testing system of claim 1 , wherein the light source is secured to the top surface, aligned with the opening, and configured to emit white light towards the camera when the wearable portion is placed around the terminal device; the standard image is an image of the white light.

4. The testing system of claim 1 , wherein the testing portion further comprises a calibration layer covering the top surface; a color of the calibration layer is the same of a color of the test paper before being wetted with the biologic fluid sample; the light source is connected to the bottom surface, and is configured to emit white light towards the calibration layer when the wearable portion is placed around the terminal device; the standard image is an image of the calibration layer under a radiation from the white light.

5. The testing system of claim 1 , wherein an axis of the slot is substantially perpendicular to an axis of the opening.

6. The testing system of claim 1 , wherein the testing portion further comprises two second side surfaces positioned between and connects the bottom surface and the top surface; the first side surface is positioned between and connects the two second side surfaces; the wearable portion comprises two opposite ends secured to the two second side surfaces, thereby allowing the wearable portion to be annular and placed around the terminal device.

7. The testing system of claim 6 , wherein the testing portion is part of a wristband.

8. The testing system of claim 6 , wherein the testing portion is part of an ankle band.

9. The testing system of claim 6 , wherein the wearable portion is made of flexible material.
