Abstract
In the non-invasive measuring system, a wireless communication device or other sensing device, gathers Doppler information from signals transmitted by the wireless communication or sensing device and reflected off of a target subject. The gathered information is transferred, preferably, over the existing communication network infra-structure to a presentation device. By placing a body sensor on the target subject, the return of the signal reflected from the subject is enhanced and/or additional information is modulated onto the return signal.
Claims22
A non-invasive measurement apparatus, comprising:
- a device having circuitry for receiving a wireless signal and for receiving a modified version of the wireless signal, wherein the wireless signal and the modified version of the wireless signal are used to produce data associated with at least one prescribed characteristic of a subject.
A non-invasive measurement apparatus, comprising:
- circuitry for receiving a wireless signal and for receiving a modified version of the wireless signal, wherein the wireless signal and the modified version of the wireless signal are used to produce an output signal associated with at least one prescribed characteristic of a subject;
- and
- an interface element connected to the circuitry for at least facilitating connectivity of the circuitry and communication of the output signal to an external device.
A non-invasive measuring apparatus, comprising:
- a transmission device for at least transmitting radio signals;
- and
- a circuit arrangement connected to the transmission device, the circuit arrangement being adapted to receive reflected and non-reflected radio signals transmitted by the transmission device and to generate therefrom a low frequency signal incorporating non-invasive measurement data.
A method for non-invasive measuring, comprising:
- receiving a wireless signal and a modified version of the wireless signal;
- and
- producing data associated with at least one prescribed physical characteristic of a subject using the wireless signal and the modified version of the wireless signal.
A non-invasive measuring arrangement, comprising:
- means for transmitting radio signals;
- and
- means connected to the transmission device being adapted to receive reflected and non-reflected radio signals transmitted by the means for transmitting radio signals, the means connected to the transmission device further adapted to generate a low frequency signal incorporating non-invasive measurement data.
