Abstract
Various embodiments provide a mobile communication device to sense and collect a user's diagnostic information. A deployable platform mounted on the mobile communication device, receives touch input from a user's finger. At least one sensor mounted on the deployable platform is used to sense one or more properties associated with the touch input. Diagnostic information associated with the one or more touch input properties is collected and a notification describing the diagnostic information is provided using the mobile communication device.
Claims20
A method for sensing and collecting diagnostic information of a user of a mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving a touch input on one or more sensors of a deployable sensor platform integrated with the mobile device, the deployable sensor platform being configurable to move from a recessed position in which the one or more sensors are stowed preventing contact with the one or more sensors to an exposed position in which the user can place the deployable sensor platform between two fingers enabling the touch input on the one or more sensors;
- sensing one or more vital signs of the user from sensor data obtained by the one or more sensors of the deployable sensor platform responsive to the touch input;
- analyzing the sensor data as diagnostic information to determine one or more fitness properties of the user;
- and
- providing a notification to report the diagnostic information as the one or more fitness properties of the user.
A mobile device comprising:
- a deployable sensor platform integrated with the mobile device, the deployable sensor platform configurable to move from a recessed position in which one or more sensors are stowed preventing contact with the one or more sensors to an exposed position in which a user can place the deployable sensor platform between two fingers enabling a touch input on the one or more sensors;
- a controller implemented at least partially in computer hardware to:
- receive sensor data associated with one or more vital signs of the user from the one or more sensors on the deployable sensor platform configured in the exposed position;
- analyze the sensor data to determine one or more fitness properties of the user;
- and
- initiate a notification to report the one or more fitness properties.
A mobile device comprising:
- a modular attachment configured to attach to the mobile device, the modular attachment including a deployable sensor platform configurable to move from a recessed position within the modular attachment in which one or more sensors are stowed preventing contact with the one or more sensors to an exposed position in which the user can place the deployable sensor platform between two fingers enabling a touch input on the one or more sensors;
- a controller implemented at least partially in computer hardware to:
- receive sensor data associated with one or more vital signs of the user from the one or more sensors on the deployable sensor platform configured in the exposed position in which the one or more sensors are exposed enabling the touch input;
- analyze the sensor data to determine one or more fitness properties of the user;
- and
- initiate a notification to report the one or more fitness properties.
