Abstract

A portable bio information measuring device is provided. The portable bio information measuring device includes a circuit board placed in the portable bio information measuring device, a housing accommodating the circuit board, an electrode to measure bio information, and a connecting member electrically connecting the circuit board with the electrode. The electrode is configured as at least one of a transparent electrode, a conductive decoration, and a conductive printed electrode.

Claims (40)

1. A portable bio information measuring device, comprising:

a circuit board positioned in the portable bio information measuring device;

a housing accommodating the circuit board and including a front surface and a rear surface, at least one of the front surface or the rear surface comprising a plurality of electrodes and a connecting member disposed continuously therethrough between the plurality of electrodes and wherein the plurality of electrodes and the connecting member form the at least one of the front surface or the rear surface of the housing;

the plurality of electrodes configured to form a first portion of the rear surface of the housing,

wherein the plurality of electrodes comprise at least one of a transparent electrode, a conductive decoration, or a conductive printed electrode, and

wherein the plurality of electrodes are configured to measure bio information;

the connecting member configured to:

form a second portion of the rear surface of the housing between the plurality of electrodes, and

electrically and directly connect the circuit board with the plurality of electrodes inside the housing; and

a display device, disposed at the front surface of the housing, comprising a display unit and a touch panel,

wherein the plurality of electrodes are disposed in different positions with respect to the display device so that interference with the display device is prevented, and

wherein the connecting member comprises a via hole passing between the plurality of electrodes and the circuit board in the portable bio information measuring device.

2. The portable bio information measuring device of claim 1 ,

wherein a portion of the conductive decoration is formed as the connecting member connected with the circuit board, and

wherein the plurality of electrodes are provided to be connected with the circuit board through the conductive decoration.

3. The portable bio information measuring device of claim 2 , wherein the conductive decoration is configured to be electrically connected with the circuit board directly or using at least one of a wire, a via hole, or an electrical connecting part.

4. The portable bio information measuring device of claim 1 , wherein the conductive decoration comprises at least one of a conductive printed layer, a frame disposed around a module exposed to an outer surface of the housing, or a side frame provided in an edge of the housing.

5. The portable bio information measuring device of claim 1 , wherein the connecting member comprises at least one of a conductive ink, a flexible printed circuit board, or a conductive mesh.

6. The portable bio information measuring device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a base substrate comprising glass or a synthetic resin provided on at least one surface of the housing; and

a wiring layer positioned over a side surface of an outer circumference of the base substrate,

wherein the plurality of electrodes are formed on the wiring layer over the outer circumference of the base substrate.

7. The portable bio information measuring device of claim 6 ,

wherein the wiring layer comprises a conductive mesh or silver nano material, and

wherein the plurality of electrodes comprise at least one of indium tin oxide (ITO), conductive mesh, silver nano, or graphene material.

8. The portable bio information measuring device of claim 6 ,

wherein a portion of the wiring layer is formed of the connecting member connected with the circuit board.

9. A portable bio information measuring device, comprising:

a circuit board;

the plurality of electrodes configured to form a first portion of the rear surface of the housing;

a base substrate positioned on at least one of the rear surface of the housing or the front surface of the housing;

the connecting member configured to:

form a second portion of the rear surface of the housing between the plurality of electrodes, and

electrically and directly connect the circuit board with the plurality of electrodes inside the housing; and

a display device, disposed at the front surface of the housing, comprising a display unit and a touch panel,

wherein the plurality of electrodes are disposed in different positions with the display device so that interference with the display device is prevented,

wherein the base substrate is configured to partially or fully house the plurality of electrodes,

wherein the plurality of electrodes are configured to measure bio information when a user contacts the base substrate, and

wherein the connecting member comprises a via hole passing between the plurality of electrodes and the circuit board in the portable bio information measuring device.
