Intellectual Property India Publishes Patent Application for Method For Measuring Blood Pressure And Electronic Device Supporting Same

MUMBAI, India, Sept. 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202647108341 A) filed by Samsung Electronics Co. , Ltd. on September 09, 2026, for Method For Measuring Blood Pressure And Electronic Device Supporting Same.

Inventors include Han, Jonghee; Jang, Hyunwoo; and Chung, Gihsung.

The application for the patent was published on September 18, 2026, under issue no. 38/2026.

Abstract: An electronic device according to one embodiment may comprise a communication module and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to receive a first PPG signal obtained by a first wearable device from the first wearable device and receive a second PPG signal from a second wearable device through a communication circuit. The first wearable device may be worn at a first location on a user and the second wearable device may be worn at a second location on the user. The at least one processor may be configured to obtain a pulse transit time (PTT) for which pulse waves are transmitted from the first location to the second location, on the basis of the first PPG signal and the second PPG signal. . The at least one processor may be configured to obtain the distance between the first wearable device and the second wearable device. The at least one processor may be configured to obtain a pulse wave velocity (PWV) at which pulse waves are transmitted, on the basis of the distance and the PTT. The at least one processor may be configured to obtain a first blood pressure by using a pulse wave analysis (PWA) method on the basis of the first PPG signal and/or the second PPG signal. The at least one processor may be configured to obtain a blood vessel characteristic value related to the characteristics of blood vessels, on the basis of the PWV and the first blood pressure. The at least one processor may be configured to obtain a blood pressure correction value for correction of a second blood pressure that is to be obtained, on the basis of the blood vessel characteristic value.
