Abstract
A wearable electronic device for detecting diver respiration comprises a transducer element and a processing element. The transducer element is configured to receive sonar waves and communicate a corresponding receiver electronic signal. The processing element is configured or programmed to receive the receiver electronic signal, identify that a breath of the diver has occurred from the receive electronic signal, determine a respiration rate of the diver based on a plurality of breaths, and present an indication of the respiration rate to the diver.
Claims17
A wearable electronic device for detecting diver respiration, the wearable electronic device comprising:
- a transducer element configured to receive sonar waves and communicate a corresponding receiver electronic signal, wherein the transducer element has a roughly planar disc shape with a central opening and diametrically opposing flat edges;
- and
- a processing element in electronic communication with a memory element, the processing element configured or programmed to:
- receive the receiver electronic signal,
- identify that a breath of the diver has occurred from the receive electronic signal,
- determine a respiration rate of the diver based on a plurality of breaths, and
- present an indication of the respiration rate to the diver.
A wearable electronic device for detecting diver respiration, the wearable electronic device comprising:
- a display configured to display dive information;
- a transducer element configured to receive sonar waves and communicate a corresponding receiver electronic signal, wherein the transducer element has a roughly planar disc shape with a central opening and diametrically opposing flat edges;
- and
- a processing element in electronic communication with a memory element, the processing element configured or programmed to:
- receive the receiver electronic signal,
- identify that a breath of the diver has occurred from the receive electronic signal,
