Abstract
There is provided a portable device (100) for monitoring a subject and detecting a source of interference for the portable device (100). The portable device (100) comprises a detector (102) configured to detect the presence of interference in an environment of the portable device (100). The portable device (100) also comprises a processor (104) configured to determine a strength of the interference in the environment of the portable device (100) and to control a user interface (106) to provide an output at a frequency that depends on the determined interference strength.
Claims15
A portable device for monitoring a subject and detecting a source of interference for the portable device, the portable device comprising:
- a detector configured to detect the presence of interference in an environment of the portable device;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- determine a strength of the interference in the environment of the portable device;
- and
- control a user interface to provide an output at a frequency that depends on the determined interference strength.
A portable device for monitoring a subject and detecting a source of interference for the portable device, the portable device comprising:
- a detector configured to detect the presence of interference in an environment of the portable device;
- wherein the portable device is operable to receive a user input to switch the portable device to an interference detection mode to trigger the detector to begin detecting the presence of interference in the environment of the portable device and
- a processor configured to:
- determine a strength of the interference in the environment of the portable device;
- and control a user interface to provide an output at a frequency that depends on the determined interference strength, wherein the processor is configured to prevent the portable device from monitoring the subject when the portable device is in the interference detection mode.
A method of operating a portable device for monitoring a subject to detect a source of interference for the portable device, the method comprising:
- detecting the presence of interference in an environment of the portable device;
- determining a strength of the interference in the environment of the portable device;
- and
- controlling a user interface to provide an output at a frequency that depends on the determined interference strength.
