Abstract

Techniques for providing a personal biosensor accessory attachment are disclosed. In some embodiments, a personal biosensor accessory attachment system is disclosed. In some embodiments, a personal biosensor accessory attachment system includes a biosensor for detecting a bio-signal; and a personal biosensor device that is adapted to securely hold the biosensor, in which the personal biosensor device can be adapted to be mechanically secured to a plurality of computing devices.

Claims (24)

1. A system for a personal biosensor accessory attachment system, comprising:

a first biosensor for detecting a first bio-signal, wherein the first biosensor includes an electroencephalography (EEG) sensor, an electrocardiography (ECG) sensor, an electrooculography (EOG) sensor, an electromyography (EMG) sensor, or a galvanic skin response (GSR) sensor;

a personal biosensor device that is adapted to securely hold the first biosensor; and

a fastening device that can be adapted for securely connecting the personal biosensor device to a plurality of computing devices, wherein the fastening device includes a second biosensor for detecting a second bio-signal, the first bio-signal being different from the second bio-signal, wherein the second biosensor includes an electroencephalography (EEG) sensor, an electrocardiography (ECG) sensor, an electrooculography (EOG) sensor, an electromyography (EMG) sensor, or a galvanic skin response (GSR) sensor;

wherein the fastening device includes a cast silicon or rubber part;

wherein the second biosensor corresponds to the same kind of biosensor as the first biosensor to increase the quality of the first bio-signal detected; and

wherein the personal biosensor device is adapted to be mechanically secured to the plurality of computing devices.

2. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the personal biosensor device further comprises:

a display output for providing an output feedback for bio-signal related information measured using the first biosensor.

3. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the personal biosensor device further comprises:

an audio output for providing an output feedback for bio-signal related information measured using the first biosensor.

4. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the personal biosensor device further comprises:

a communication mechanism for providing wired or wireless communication based on bio-signal related information measured using the first biosensor to the plurality of computing devices.

5. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the personal biosensor device further comprises:

a communication mechanism for providing wired or wireless communication based on bio-signal related information measured using the first biosensor to a cloud-based bio-signal monitoring service.

6. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the EEG sensor includes a stainless steel passive, dry biosensor.

7. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the first biosensor measures an EEG signal, and wherein the EEG signal is processed to determine a user's mental state.

8. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of computing devices includes a mobile computing device.

9. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of computing devices includes a mobile phone or a tablet computer.

10. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of computing devices includes a watch.

11. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the first biosensor is attached, via the fastening device, to an article of clothing.

12. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the first biosensor is attached, via the fastening device, to a piece of jewelry.

13. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the second biosensor is made of a different material than the material of the first biosensor to enhance the quality of the first bio-signal detected.

14. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the fastening device interacts directly with the plurality of computing devices as a source of power, the source of power including an extra battery, wireless magnetic induction charging, solar charging, or kinetic charging.
