Abstract
Techniques are generally described for touch-sensitive devices with biometric information determination capabilities. The touch-sensitive device may include one or more of a transmitter, a receiver, and a processor. The transmitter may be configured to emit light towards a surface of the touch-sensitive device and the receiver may be configured to receive reflected light from a touch to the touch-sensitive device. The processor may be arranged to receive signals from the receiver and determines biometric information, and in some examples location of touch, based on the signals.
Claims23
A non-transitory computer accessible medium that includes computer executable instructions stored thereon, which in response to execution by a computer, cause the computer to perform or control performance of a procedure to determine a concentration of an analyte in blood, the procedure comprising:
- quantifying optical energy at a first wavelength, wherein the optical energy is detected at a sensor included in a touch panel of a display, wherein the touch panel is configured to receive an indication of a touch event;
- and
- determining, based at least in part on the quantified optical energy, the concentration of the analyte in the blood.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium that includes computer executable instructions stored thereon, which in response to execution by a computer, cause the computer to perform or control performance of a procedure to determine a concentration of an analyte in blood with a touch panel of a display, the procedure comprising:
- detecting a touch event on the touch panel,
- quantifying optical energy in response to the detected touch event;
- and
- determining, based at least in part on the quantified optical energy the concentration of the analyte in the blood.
A non-transitory computer readable-medium including instructions stored thereon that are executable by a processor, the instructions comprising instructions to:
- transmit with a transmitter, optical energy to a touch-sensitive device;
- detect the optical energy with a detector at a position indicative of a location of a touch event on the touch-sensitive device;
- and
- determine, with the processor, a concentration of an analyte in blood based, at least in part, on the detected optical energy.
