BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a method, an apparatus, and a non-transitory computer readable recording medium for measuring a photoelectrically-pulsating pulse wave signal,

The present invention relates to a method, apparatus and non-transitory computer readable recording medium for measuring a photoelectrically-pulsating pulse signal.

Recently, the rapid development of science and technology has improved the quality of life of the whole human being, and many changes have occurred in the medical environment. In the past, medical images such as X-ray, CT, and fMRI were taken in the hospital, and it was possible to read the images only after several hours or several days.

However, after 10 years of medical imaging, a Picture Archive Communication System (PACS) has been introduced, which allows images to be transmitted to a monitor screen of a radiologist and then read out immediately. In addition, many ubiquitous healthcare-related medical devices that can confirm their blood sugar and blood pressure at any time without going to a hospital are widely used, and blood glucose patients or hypertensive patients use them in their own homes or offices. In particular, in the case of hypertension, which is the main cause of the invention of various diseases and the prevalence is increasing, a system for continuously measuring blood pressure and informing it in real time is needed, and various types of studies related thereto have been tried.

On the other hand, biometric information such as electrocardiogram, heart rate, body temperature information, oxygen saturation in blood, electromyogram, sweat gland activity, foot volume, respiratory rate, etc., as well as blood pressure, are obtained from two or more contact points (not necessarily physically attached) It is required to provide a technique capable of appropriately processing and measuring a living body signal obtained from various points of the human body in order to obtain the living body information.

In particular, PhotoPlethysmoGraphy (PPG) signals are used to measure various biological information related to cardiac function, including oxygen saturation (SpO ₂ ) in the blood. According to the conventional optoelectronic pulse wave signal measuring technique, there is a technical restriction that a shielding structure is indispensably required in order to prevent an error caused by an external light source.

Hereinafter, the case of calculating the oxygen saturation in the blood using the optoelectronic pulse wave signal will be described in more detail as an example.

BACKGROUND ART [0002] A conventional technique for measuring oxygen saturation (SpO ₂ ) in blood using a photoelectric pulse wave signal is a technique for detecting visible light (for example, red light, green light, etc.) and infrared light reflected from a human body, A technique of calculating the oxygen saturation based on the optoelectronic pulse wave signal according to each of visible light and infrared light has been introduced. In this conventional technique, the light absorption rate by oxygen hemoglobin (HbO ₂ ) And that it appears higher in the infrared light than in the infrared light.

In order to accurately measure the optoelectronic pulse wave signal (and furthermore, the degree of oxygen saturation), the brightness (i.e., illuminance) of the light sensed by the light receiving unit 110 needs to be kept constant. In order to achieve the above- A shielding structure is used to shield the light-irradiated and sensed portions from external light sources. As a result, according to the related art, there is a spatial restriction to include all the components such as the light emitting portion for emitting light and the light receiving portion for sensing light in the shielding structure, and the size of the measuring device becomes excessively large due to the shielding structure Problems also arise.

Thus, the present inventors propose a technique that can accurately measure the photoelectric pulse wave signal (and furthermore, oxygen saturation) in an environment in which the brightness of ambient light is not constant due to an external light source.

Alternatively, when the second illuminance measured by the second illuminance sensor section 232 is higher than the predetermined reference illuminance, the second illuminance section 212 may be provided so that the second illuminance may match the predetermined reference illuminance. It is possible to reduce the brightness of light in the second wavelength range to be irradiated. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the function of adjusting the brightness of the light of the first wavelength range or the light of the second wavelength range may be performed by the controller 270.

For example, when the first illuminance measured by the first illuminance sensor unit 231 is 2000 lux and the predetermined reference illuminance is 1000 lux, the light of the first wavelength range detected by the first light receiving unit 221 The intensity of the first photoelectric pulse wave signal can be scaled by a factor of 1/2.
