Claims32
A vital-sign detection system comprising:
- a vital-sign detection device enabled to detect a vital-sign of an object;
- and
- a controller determining whether a first predetermined event occurs during a period when the vital-sign detection device is in a first enabled mode and controlling the vital-sign detection device to switch to a disabled mode from the first enabled mode in response to the first predetermined event occurring;
- wherein during a period when the vital-sign detection device is in the disabled mode, the controller determines whether a second predetermined event occurs,
- wherein in response to the second determined event occurring, the controller controls the vital-sign detection device to switch to a second enabled mode from the disabled mode, and
- wherein the second predetermined event indicates that the object falls asleep.
A control method for a vital-sign detection device which is enabled to detect a vital-sign of an object, the control method comprising:
- determining whether a first predetermined event occurs when the vital-sign detection device is in a first enabled mode;
- controlling the vital-sign detection device to switch to a disabled mode from the first enabled mode in response to the first predetermined event occurring;
- during a period when the vital-sign detection device is in the disabled mode, determining whether a second predetermined event occurs;
- and
- controlling the vital-sign detection device to switch to a second enabled mode from the disabled mode in response to the second determined event occurring,
