A SYSTEM FOR COMPUTING EXPOSURE TO SOLAR RADIATION OF AN INDIVIDUAL
System for calculating the exposure to sun radiation received on the different parts of the body by a person, comprising a wearable device (1) that communicates with a telecommunication mobile device (2) and a remote computing unit (3) operatively connected to satellites (4) to receive georeferenced data related to solar irradiation over time and set to associate the solar irradiance data to the geographical position, the posture and the orientation of the person (P) or of parts of the person's body.
System and method for controlling temperature of user
Disclosed herein are a system and method for controlling the temperature of a user. The wearable device may include a first temperature measurement unit configured to measure a temperature of a user and a control unit configured to calculate a temperature difference by comparing the temperature measured by the first temperature measurement unit with a previously stored temperature of the user at normal times, provide temperature measurement information to an external device if the calculated temperature difference is more than a reference temperature difference for a predetermined time, and receive service information for controlling the temperature of the user based on the temperature measurement information from the external device.
METHODS FOR GUIDING PERSONAL LIMIT SELECTION IN UV DOSIMETRY
A computer executable method that can be stored in a memory, the method including: visually presenting on a display of a user device a history of UV dose that was calculated based on information sensed by a UV sensor in a wearable UV sensing device; visually presenting a percentile indicator on the display, the percentile indicator being indicative of a calculated percentile of the history of UV dose; and visually presenting on the display a user-adjustable UV dose threshold interface that is adapted to allow the user to interact with the user-adjustable UV dose interface and choose a user-chosen UV dose threshold quantity.
EYEWEAR WITH RADIATION DETECTION SYSTEM
Eyewear having radiation monitoring capability is disclosed. Radiation, such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation, infrared (IR) radiation or light, can be measured by a detector. The measured radiation can then be used in providing radiation-related information to a user of the eyewear. Advantageously, the user of the eyewear is able to easily monitor their exposure to radiation.
Systems and Methods for Monitoring Physiological Parameters
Described herein are systems and methods for mounting optical sensors in physiological monitoring devices worn by a user to sense, measure, and/or display physiological information. Optical sensors may be mounted in the rear face of the device, emit light proximate a targeted area of a user's body, and detect light reflected from the targeted area. The optical sensor may be mounted in a housing or caseback such that at least a portion of the optical sensor protrudes a distance from at least a portion of the housing. The protrusion distance may be adjustable such that a user may achieve a customized fit of the wearable device. Adjustment of the protrusion distance may also result in a customized level of contact and/or pressure between the optical sensor and the targeted area which may, in turn, result in more reliable and accurate sensing of physiological information.
Systems and methods for measuring ultraviolet exposure
This disclosure relates to measuring ultraviolet (UV) exposure. One example system includes an electronic sensor chip that includes a UV sensor that measures a UV intensity reading, an inertial measurement unit that acquires movement data of the UV sensor, and at least one processor. The system further includes a light pipe that guides light towards the UV sensor and a diffuser that has an angle-dependent transmission function and covers an end of the light pipe. Example operations can be performed by the processor include determining a solar incidence angle between a direction of the sun and a normal direction of the UV sensor, computing an estimation of a maximum UV intensity at normal incidence based on the UV intensity reading, the solar incidence angle, and the angle-dependent transmission function of the diffuser, and outputting a UV index based on the estimation of the maximum UV intensity at normal incidence.
RECEIVED-LIGHT AMOUNT MEASUREMENT SYSTEM
A received-light amount measurement system is provided. The received-light amount measurement system includes: a first device that is wearable and obtains a first amount of received light; and a controller that, obtains first information on the first amount of received light from the first device. When the first amount of received light is less than or equal to a first specified value, the controller calculates interpolation information for interpolating the first amount of received light during a time period in which the first amount of received light is less than or equal to the first specified value, and determines the interpolation information as an interpolated amount of received light obtained by the first device.

AMBIENT LIGHT SENSOR WITH PHOTODIODE LEAKAGE CURRENT COMPENSATION
Differing from conventional ambient light sensors at least having drawbacks of huge circuit area and high manufacturing cost, the present invention discloses an ambient light sensor showing advantages of small circuit area and low manufacturing cost. This ambient light sensor has functionality of photodiode leakage current compensation, and comprises: a temperature sensing unit, a microprocessor unit, a conversion unit, and a lookup table unit. The microprocessor unit is configured to find out a reference parameter for a first dark current from the lookup table unit according to a measured data of ambient temperature. Subsequently, the conversion unit is controlled to apply a current amplifying process to a second dark current. Therefore, after subtracting an output current of the first photodiode from the second dark current been treated with the current amplifying process, the output current been treated with a leakage current compensating process is produced and outputted.
