Abstract
The invention proposes a method of detecting respiratory information of a user. The method comprises a step of instructing the user to perform on a device a movement reflecting his respiratory action; a step of generating by said device, a signal reflecting said movement; and a step of deriving the user's respiratory information from said signal. By using this method, the respiratory information is easily detected without attaching any sensor on the user's chest.
