Abstract

The disclosed embodiments relate to the measurement of heart rate in the presence of motion and noise. Spectral peaks in the measurements made by the optical sensor are compared to spectral peaks obtained from motion sensor signal measurements to obtain a fundamental frequency in the optical sensor signal, wherein the fundamental frequency is associated with the user's heart rate. A first heart rate can be estimated based on the fundamental frequency. Various quality measures of the first heart rate estimate may be determined. A second estimated heart rate may be determined by processing the frequency domain representation of the optical sensor signal based on the frequency domain representation of the motion sensor signal. One or more of the previously determined quality metrics may be dynamically adjusted based on a comparison of the first and second estimated heart rates.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. Nonprovisional Application No. 14 / 741,425, filed June 16, 2015, entitled ROBUST HEART RATEESTIMATION, which is assigned to the present recipient is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention generally relates to devices, systems and methods for biometric measurements, including cardiovascular measurements such as heart rate. Background technique [0004] Modern mobile devices may include sensors, such as optical sensors, to measure biometric information. For example, photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors obtain volumetric measurements of blood vessels near the skin surface. When the heart pumps blood, the resulting pressure pulse causes changes in the blood vessels. Pressure pulses dilate arteries and arterioles in skin tissue. Optical sensors such as PPG sensors can be used to detect changes in blood ves...
