DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] Implementations of the present disclosure are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the drawings. The same or similar elements are denoted by the same or similar reference numerals in different drawings, unless indicated otherwise. The implementations described herein with reference to drawings are examples, and used to generally understand the present disclosure. The implementations shall not be construed to limit the present disclosure.

[0027] A heart rate tracking method for a wearable device, a heart rate tracking apparatus for a wearable device, a wearable device, an electronic device and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium in some implementations of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to drawings.

[0028] FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a heart rate tracking method for a wearable device in some implementations of the present disclosure.

[0029] In some implementations of the present disclosure, the wearable device may be, for example, a smart watch or a smart bracelet.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 1, the heart rate tracking method for the wearable device in some implementations of the present disclosure includes steps S101 to S104.

[0031] In step S101, a photo pethysmo graphic (PPG) signal of the wearable device is obtained within a preset time.

[0032] The preset time may be set according to actual needs, such as, for example, eight seconds (“8s”). The photo pethysmo graphic is a method where light is irradiated into a skin and light scattering caused by blood flow is measured. Specifically, green light emitted by a light emitting diode (LED) in an optical sensor passes through tissues, arteries and veins in the skin, and is absorbed or reflected back to the optical sensor. The green light reflected back to the optical sensor has a certain attenuation. Unlike blood, the absorption of the green light by muscles, bones, veins and other connecting tissues is basically unchanged (provided that there is no significant movement of measured sites). The blood flows in the arteries, such that the absorption of the green light by the arteries changes. The green light is then transformed into an electronic signal, and the electronic signal may be divided into a direct current (DC) signal and an alternating current (AC) signal due to the changeable absorption of the green light by the arteries and the basically unchangeable absorption of the green light by other tissues. Finally, characteristics of blood flow may be reflected by extracting the AC signal.

[0033] In some implementations, before obtaining the PPG signal of the wearable device, the method further includes collecting an optical signal through an optical sensor, in which the optical signal includes the PPG signal and an acceleration signal; and filtering out the acceleration signal from the optical signal by a filtering algorithm to obtain the PPG signal.

[0034] In this step, the PPG signal and the acceleration signal may be collected by the optical sensor, such as a PPG optical module. A motion signal, such as the acceleration signal may be filtered out from the PPG signal by the relevant filtering algorithm, such as recursive least squares (PLS), and then the filtered PPG signal is stored for a certain time, such as, for example, the preset time of 8s.

[0035] In step S102, a frequency spectrum corresponding to the PPG signal is obtained by a short-time Fourier transform of the PPG signal.

[0036] In this step, the short-time Fourier transform is performed on a certain amount of the PPG signal to obtain an amplitude value in a certain frequency spectrum interval at a moment of, for example, 8s.

[0037] In step S103, a curve cluster is generated according to the frequency spectrum.

[0038] In some implementations, generating the curve cluster according to the frequency spectrum includes performing amplitude normalization on the frequency spectrum, obtaining a point pair of frequency and amplitude by searching for a local peak for the normalized frequency spectrum, in response to determining a current moment greater than zero, pairing a point pair at the current moment with a point pair at a previous moment, and generating the curve cluster according to the two paired point pairs (i.e., the point pair at the current moment and the point pair at a previous moment paired to it) after pairing is successful.

[0039] In some implementations, generating the curve cluster according to the two paired point pairs includes in response to determining the point pair at the previous moment existing in a first curve, adding the point pair at the current moment to the first curve; or in response to determining that the point pair at the previous moment is not in the first curve, generating a second curve according to the point pair at the previous moment and the point pair at the current moment; and generating the curve cluster by acquiring the first curve and the second curve within the preset time.

[0040] In this step, normalization is performed on a maximum value and a minimum value of an amplitude of the frequency spectrum to obtain the normalized amplitude between 0 and 1. For example, normalization may be performed by dividing the amplitude by a maximum amplitude. Then, the point pair of frequency and amplitude may be obtained by searching for the local peak for the normalized frequency spectrum, such that many point pairs may be obtained.

[0041] If the current moment is zero moment, no processing is performed. If the current moment is a moment greater than zero moment, a point pair at the current moment and a point pair at a previous moment are paired according to a pairing condition. In an implementation, the pairing condition is that the difference between a frequency of the point pair at the current moment and a frequency of the point pair at the previous moment is within, for example, 6 BPM. If the point pair at the current moment and the point pair at the previous moment meet the pairing condition, it is determined whether the point pair at the previous moment exists in a first curve. In response to determining the point pair at the previous moment existing in the first curve, the point pair at the current moment is added to the first curve. That is to say, a length of the first curve is increased. In response to determining that the point pair at the previous moment does not exist in the first curve, a new curve is generated as a second curve according to the point pair at the previous moment and the point pair at the current moment. All the generated curves including the first curve and the second curve within the preset time form the curve cluster.

[0042] With the increase of time, steps S101 to S103 are performed cyclically to obtain continuously growing curve clusters, as shown in FIG. 2. It should be noted that only some of the curves are marked in the curve cluster in FIG. 2, and the curves with the same thickness are also curves in the curve cluster.

[0043] In order to further improve the accuracy of heart rate prediction, after obtaining the point pair of frequency and amplitude by searching for the local peak for the normalized frequency spectrum, the method further includes in response to determining an amplitude of the point pair smaller than a preset amplitude, deleting the point pair whose amplitude is smaller than the preset amplitude. The preset amplitude may be set according to actual needs, such as, for example, 0.6.

[0044] That is to say, in order to further improve the accuracy of heart rate prediction, after obtaining the point pair of frequency and amplitude by searching for the local peak for the frequency spectrum, for the normalized amplitude, it can be determined whether an amplitude of the point pair is smaller than a preset amplitude, and to delete the point pair whose amplitude is smaller than the preset amplitude, such as, for example, 0.6.

[0045] In step S104, in response to determining a curve that meets a preset condition in the curve cluster, a jumped heart rate is acquired according to the curve that meets the preset condition to track the heart rate.

[0046] In some implementations, determining the curve that meets the preset condition in the curve cluster includes selecting from all curves of the curve cluster a curve where a point pair at a last moment is consistent with the point pair at the current moment to generate a curve set; and in response to determining the curve set being not empty, selecting a curve that meets the preset condition from the curve set. The preset condition is that at least one curve in the curve set has a length larger than a preset length, and no other curves exist in a preset frequency range of the at least one curve within a preset period before the current moment. The preset length, the preset frequency range and the preset moment may be set according to actual needs. For example, the preset length may be 5, the preset frequency range may be in a range of 0 to 0.5 Hz, and the preset period may be a period of 5 moments before the current moment.

[0047] In some implementations, in response to determining the curve that meets the preset condition in the curve cluster, acquiring the jumped heart rate according to the curve that meets the preset condition to track the heart rate, includes selecting from the curves that meet the preset condition a curve with a largest length, and determining a frequency at a last moment of the curve with the largest length as the jumped heart rate to track the heart rate.

[0048] A heart rate tracking algorithm is generally performed by the steps as follows.

[0049] A heart rate at a previous moment is first obtained to search for a new heart rate at a current moment before or after, for example, 6 BPM of the heart rate at the previous moment. When the heart rate signal is weak, a heart rate tracking error will be amplified, and when the heart rate signal is strong, the algorithm cannot track the heart rate correctly, for example, as shown in FIG. 3.

[0050] For this, the present disclosure provides an improved algorithm as follows.

[0051] After obtaining a curve cluster, a curve where a point pair at a last moment is consistent with the point pair at the current moment is selected from all curves of the curve cluster to generate a curve set. Then, it is determined whether the curve set is empty. In response to determining the curve set being not empty, there is a curve L with a length larger than, for example, 5, and with no other curves existing in, for example, a 0.5 Hz range of the curve L within a period of, for example, 5 moments before the current moment. When there are more than one curve L, a curve with a largest length is selected, and a frequency at a last moment of the curve with the largest length is determined as the current heart rate to be jumped to so as to track the heart rate, as shown in FIG. 4.

[0052] In this way, the method provides a mechanism of heart rate jump, which may track a correct heart rate in time, thereby largely improving an accuracy of heart rate prediction.

[0053] In order to further illustrate steps S101 to S103, FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing a generating process of a curve cluster in a heart rate tracking method for a wearable device in some implementations of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, the generating process of the curve cluster in the heart rate tracking method for the wearable device includes steps of S501 to S507.

[0054] In step S501, a filtered PPG signal is obtained at T moment.

[0055] In step S502, a frequency spectrum corresponding to the PPG signal is obtained by a short-time Fourier transform.

[0056] In step S503, amplitude normalization is performed on the frequency spectrum. For example, normalization may be performed by dividing an amplitude by a maximum amplitude to obtain the normalized amplitude between 0 and 1.

[0057] In step S504, a local peak with an amplitude larger than a preset amplitude is obtained. The preset amplitude may be, in a non-limiting example, 0.6.

[0058] In step S505, a local peak at T moment is compared with a local peak at T−1 moment, and connected to the local peak at T−1 moment when a pairing condition is met. In an implementation, for example, the pairing condition is that the difference between a frequency of the point pair at the current moment and a frequency of the point pair at the previous moment is within, for example, 6 BPM.

[0059] In step S506, a peak curve for the frequency spectrum before T moment is obtained.

[0060] In step S507, a filtered PPG signal at T+1 moment is processed continually.

[0061] After obtaining the curve cluster by steps S501 to S507, a curve where a point pair at a last moment is consistent with the point pair at the current moment is selected from all curves of the curve cluster to generate a curve set. Then, it is determined whether the curve set is empty. In an example, in response to determining the curve set being not empty, there is a curve L with a length larger than 5, and with no other curves existing in a 0.5 Hz range of the curve L within a period of 5 moments before the current moment. When there is more than one curve L, a curve with a largest length is selected, and a frequency at a last moment of the curve with the largest length is determined as the current heart rate to be jumped to so as to track the heart rate, as shown in FIG. 4.

[0062] According to the heart rate tracking method for the wearable device in some implementations of the present disclosure, the PPG signal of the wearable device is obtained within the preset time, and the frequency spectrum corresponding to the PPG signal is obtained by the short-time Fourier transform of the PPG signal. Then, the curve cluster is generated according to the frequency spectrum, and the curve that meets a preset condition in the curve cluster is determined. When the curve that meets the preset condition exists, the jumped heart rate is acquired according to the curve that meets the preset condition to track the heart rate. In this way, the method provides a mechanism of heart rate jump, which may track a correct heart rate in time, thereby largely improving an accuracy of heart rate prediction.

[0088] The electronic device provided in some implementations of the present disclosure may be configured to perform the above-mentioned heart rate tracking method for the wearable device based on a mechanism of heart rate jump, which may track a correct heart rate in time, thereby largely improving an accuracy of heart rate prediction.

[0089] According to the above-mentioned implementations, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium is provided, having stored therein instructions that, when executed by a processor of an electronic device, causes the electronic device to perform the above-mentioned heart rate tracking method for the wearable device.

[0090] The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium provided in some implementations of the present disclosure may be configured to perform the above-mentioned heart rate tracking method for the wearable device based on a mechanism of heart rate jump, which may track a correct heart rate in time, thereby largely improving an accuracy of heart rate prediction.

[0091] According to the above-mentioned implementations, a computer program product is provided, which, when executed by a processor of an electronic device, causes the electronic device to perform the above-mentioned heart rate tracking method for the wearable device.

[0092] The computer program product provided in some implementations of the present disclosure may be configured to perform the above-mentioned heart rate tracking method for the wearable device by a mechanism of heart rate jump, which may track a correct heart rate in time, thereby largely improving an accuracy of heart rate prediction.

[0093] In the specification, it is to be understood that terms such as “central”, “longitudinal”, “lateral”, “length”, “width”, “thickness”, “upper”, “lower”, “front”, “rear”, “left”, “right”, “vertical”, “horizontal”, “top”, “bottom”, “inner”, “outer”, “clockwise”, “counterclockwise”, “axial”, “radial” and “circumferential” should be construed to refer to the orientation or positional relationship as shown in the drawings. These relative terms are for convenience of description and do not require that the present disclosure be constructed or operated in a particular orientation, which shall not be construed to limit the present disclosure.

[0094] In addition, terms such as “first” and “second” are used herein for purposes of description and are not intended to indicate or imply relative importance or significance or to imply the number of indicated technical features. Thus, the feature defined with “first” or “second” may comprise one or more of this feature. In the description of the present disclosure, “a plurality of” means two or more, unless specified otherwise.

[0095] In the present disclosure, unless specified or limited otherwise, the terms “mounted,” “connected,” “coupled,” “fixed” and the like are used broadly, and may be, for example, fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; may also be mechanical or electrical connections; may also be direct connections or indirect connections via intervening structures; may also be inner communications or interactions of two elements, which can be understood by those skilled in the art according to specific situations.

[0096] In the specification of the present disclosure, unless specified or limited otherwise, a structure in which a first feature is “on” or “below” a second feature may include an implementation in which the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, and may also include an implementation in which the first feature and the second feature are not in direct contact with each other, but are contacted via an additional feature formed therebetween. Furthermore, a first feature “on,” “above,” or “on top of” a second feature may include an implementation in which the first feature is right or obliquely “on,” “above,” or “on top of” the second feature, or just means that the first feature is at a height higher than that of the second feature; while a first feature “below,” “under,” or “on bottom of” a second feature may include an implementation in which the first feature is right or obliquely “below,” “under,” or “on bottom of” the second feature, or just means that the first feature is at a height lower than that of the second feature.

[0097] Reference throughout this specification to “an implementation,” “some implementations,” “an example,” “a specific example,” or “some examples,” means that a particular feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with the implementation or example is included in at least one implementation or example of the present disclosure. Thus, the appearances of the phrases such as “in some implementations,” “in one implementation”, “in an implementation”, “in another example,” “in an example,” “in a specific example,” or “in some examples,” in various places throughout this specification are not necessarily referring to the same implementation or example of the present disclosure. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more implementations or examples. In addition, the features described in some implementations or examples may be combined or connected with the features of other implementations or examples by those skilled in the art without contradicting with each other.

[0098] Although explanatory implementations have been shown and described, it would be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the above implementations cannot be construed to limit the present disclosure, and changes, alternatives, and modifications can be made in the implementations without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.
