Patent ID: 7060963

Claim:
An organism information measuring device comprising: a main body having a lower face that is disposable in contact with an organism surface of an organism during use of the device; a first light irradiating part disposed in the lower face of the main body for irradiating light toward the organism, the light having a relatively short wavelength for primarily detecting noise; a second light irradiating part disposed in the lower face of the main body for irradiating light toward the organism, the light having a relatively long wavelength for primarily detecting organism information; a first light receiving part disposed in the lower face of the main body for receiving light including backward scattered light originating from the first and second light irradiating parts and producing organism information signals according to the quantity of received light; a second light receiving part disposed in the lower face of the main body for receiving light including backward scattered light originating from the first and second light irradiating parts and producing organism information signals according to the quantity of received light, the second light receiving part being located farther from the first and second light irradiating parts than the first light receiving part; and a data processing part disposed in the main body for determining organism information indicative of an organism condition on the basis of the organism information signals produced by the first and second light receiving parts.
