`

`PROTECTING YOUR INVENTION OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES
`
`Since the rights granted by a U.S. patent extend only throughout the territory of the United States and have no
`effect in a foreign country, an inventor who wishes patent protection in another country must apply for a patent
`in a specific country or in regional patent offices. Applicants may wish to consider the filing of an international
`application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). An international (PCT) application generally has the same
`effect as a regular national patent application in each PCT-member country. The PCT process simplifies the filing
`of patent applications on the same invention in member countries, but does not result in a grant of "an international
`patent" and does not eliminate the need of applicants to file additional documents and fees in countries where patent
`protection is desired.
`
`Almost every country has its own patent law, and a person desiring a patent in a particular country must make an
`application for patent in that country in accordance with its particular laws. Since the laws of many countries differ
`in various respects from the patent law of the United States, applicants are advised to seek guidance from specific
`foreign countries to ensure that patent rights are not lost prematurely.
`
`Applicants also are advised that in the case of inventions made in the United States, the Director of the US PTO must
`issue a license before applicants can apply for a patent in a foreign country. The filing of a U.S. patent application
`serves as a request for a foreign filing license. The application's filing receipt contains further information and
`guidance as to the status of applicant's license for foreign filing.
`
`Applicants may wish to consult the USPTO booklet, "General Information Concerning Patents" (specifically, the
`section entitled "Treaties and Foreign Patents") for more information on timeframes and deadlines for filing foreign
`patent applications. The guide is available either by contacting the USPTO Contact Center at 800-786-9199, or it
`can be viewed on the USPTO website at http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/doc/general/index.html.
`
`For information on preventing theft of your intellectual property (patents, trademarks and copyrights), you may wish
`to consult the U.S. Government website, http://www.stopfakes.gov. Part of a Department of Commerce initiative,
`this website includes self-help "toolkits" giving innovators guidance on how to protect intellectual property in specific
`countries such as China, Korea and Mexico. For questions regarding patent enforcement issues, applicants may
`call the U.S. Government hotline at 1-866-999-HAL T (1-866-999-4258).
`
`LICENSE FOR FOREIGN FILING UNDER
`
`Title 35, United States Code, Section 184
`
`Title 37, Code of Federal Regulations, 5.11 & 5.15
`
`GRANTED
`
`The applicant has been granted a license under 35 U.S.C. 184, if the phrase "IF REQUIRED, FOREIGN FILING
`LICENSE GRANTED" followed by a date appears on this form. Such licenses are issued in all applications where
`the conditions for issuance of a license have been met, regardless of whether or not a license may be required as
`set forth in 37 CFR 5.15. The scope and limitations of this license are set forth in 37 CFR 5.15(a) unless an earlier
`license has been issued under 37 CFR 5.15(b). The license is subject to revocation upon written notification. The
`date indicated is the effective date of the license, unless an earlier license of similar scope has been granted under
`37 CFR 5.13 or 5.14.
`
`page 2 of 3
`
`2
`
`

`

`This license is to be retained by the licensee and may be used at any time on or after the effective date thereof unless
`it is revoked. This license is automatically transferred to any related applications(s) filed under 37 CFR 1.53(d). This
`license is not retroactive.
`
`The grant of a license does not in any way lessen the responsibility of a licensee for the security of the subject matter
`as imposed by any Government contract or the provisions of existing laws relating to espionage and the national
`security or the export of technical data. Licensees should apprise themselves of current regulations especially with
`respect to certain countries, of other agencies, particularly the Office of Defense Trade Controls, Department of
`State (with respect to Arms, Munitions and Implements of War (22 CFR 121-128)); the Bureau of Industry and
`Security, Department of Commerce (15 CFR parts 730-774); the Office of Foreign AssetsControl, Department of
`Treasury (31 CFR Parts 500+) and the Department of Energy.
`
`NOT GRANTED
`
`No license under 35 U.S.C. 184 has been granted at this time, if the phrase "IF REQUIRED, FOREIGN FILING
`LICENSE GRANTED" DOES NOT appear on this form. Applicant may still petition for a license under 37 CFR 5.12,
`if a license is desired before the expiration of 6 months from the filing date of the application. If 6 months has lapsed
`from the filing date of this application and the licensee has not received any indication of a secrecy order under 35
`U.S.C. 181, the licensee may foreign file the application pursuant to 37 CFR 5.15(b).

`
`ABSTRACT
`
`Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for
`
`obtaining at
`
`least one bodily function measurement are presented.
`
`In some
`
`embodiments, a mobile device includes a processor and a plurality of sensors for
`
`obtaining data accessible by the processor. The sensors are configured to obtain a first
`
`measurement indicative of blood volume and a second measurement indicative of heart
`
`electrical activity. The processor is configured to facilitate generation of a blood
`
`pressure measurement based on the first measurement and the second measurement. In
`
`other embodiments, the sensors include electrodes where a portion of a user's body
`
`positioned between the electrodes completes a circuit and a measurement to provide at
`
`least one measure of impedance associated with the user's body. The processor is
`
`configured to facilitate generation of a hydration level measurement based on the
`
`measure of impedance.

`
`SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OBTAINING BODILY FUNCTION
`MEASUREMENTS USING A MOBILE DEVICE
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`[0001]
`
`Aspects of the disclosure relate to mobile devices, and more particularly, a
`
`system and method for obtaining at least one bodily function measurement of a user
`
`operating a mobile device.
`
`[0002]
`
`It is often desirable for a user to be aware his/her bodily function
`
`measurements, which may provide physiological measures of stress, measures of
`
`hydration, and other measures of general health. Physiological measures of stress may
`
`be used to communicate to a user instructions to alter his/her behavior, e.g., taking a
`
`break, taking deep breaths, etc. Measures of hydration may be used by athletes or
`
`generally active individuals to ensure that they stay hydrated to maintain physical
`
`performance. Additionally, this information may be useful for individuals who work in
`
`hot or dry environments and must maintain proper hydration. Further, this information
`
`may be useful for elderly individuals whose sense of hydration is decreased and are
`
`more prone to becoming dehydrated. Thus, important bodily function measurements
`
`may include measurements of a user's blood pressure and/or hydration state.
`
`[0003]
`
`A user's blood pressure may be measured using a pulse measuring device.
`
`Typical pulse measuring devices use either photoplethysmography (PPG) or
`
`electrocardiography (ECG) to measure a user's pulse. A user's systolic blood pressure
`
`may be determined using a combination of the PPG and ECG using a technique known
`
`as pulse transit time (PTT). The systolic blood pressure, along with other inputs such as
`
`pulse rate variability (PRV) and galvanic skin response (GSR) may be useful in
`
`determining the user's physiological measures of stress. However, existing mobile
`
`device solutions for obtaining PPG measurements and ECG measurements can only
`
`obtain measurements for one or the other. That is, existing mobile device solutions can
`
`only obtain a PPG measurement or an ECG measurement, but not both.
`
`[0004]
`
`A user's hydration state may be determined by measuring a total body water
`
`amount using a bio-electric impedance analysis (BIA). BIA measurements are typically
`
`accurate and may fall within 200ml of the actual value when performed properly.
`
`Typically, existing solutions to measure BIA require professional equipment in a
`

`
`clinical setting. Additionally, the few devices that exist to measure BIA outside of a
`
`clinical setting are not very mobile, e.g, they may not fit within a user's pocket or be
`
`integrated into another device that the user typically always has with them.
`
`[0005]
`
`Accordingly, a need exists for a mobile solution to obtain both PPG and
`
`ECG measurements used for determining a user's blood pressure and to obtain a body
`
`water content measurement used for determining a user's hydration state.
