Abstract

Provided are a measurement apparatus, a measurement method, and an electronic device provided with a measurement apparatus that can improve the measurement accuracy of biological information. A measurement apparatus includes a measurement unit that measures biological information and a controller that performs control to suspend measurement by the measurement unit when starting predetermined processing during measurement by the measurement unit.

Claims (18)

1. A measurement apparatus comprising:

a measurement unit configured to measure biological information;

a communication interface; and

a controller configured to

start a measurement of the biological information,

start a predetermined processing related to control of the communication interface, the predetermined processing interrupting the measurement,

determine whether to output, as a result to a user, a partial result that is an output of the measurement from the start of the measurement up until the start of the predetermined processing, based on the partial result, and

perform control to output the result when the partial result satisfies a first condition that is related to a completion rate of a measurement made by the measurement unit.

2. The measurement apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the controller performs control to output the result when the partial result satisfies a second condition, and

the second condition is related to a completion rate of a measurement made by the measurement unit and is different from the first condition.

3. The measurement apparatus of claim 2 , wherein

the controller performs control to use the result of the measurement in a next measurement by the measurement unit when the measurement made by the measurement unit up until the predetermined processing starts does not satisfy a second condition.

4. The measurement apparatus of claim 3 , wherein

when the measurement made by the measurement unit up until the predetermined processing starts does not satisfy a second condition, the controller performs control to use the result of the measurement in the next measurement by the measurement unit upon the next measurement by the measurement unit being made within a predetermined time.

5. The measurement apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the predetermined processing is processing related to control when the communication interface executes incoming communication processing.

6. An electronic device comprising the measurement apparatus of claim 1 .
