PURPOSE: A structure of an earring type PPG(photoplethysmography) device with a solar cell, and a measuring method thereof are provided to have a wearable biosignal measurement device that has an earring shape which is attachable to an ear that minimizes feeling of tightness, and to use a solar cell for power supply, thereby measuring a users physical condition in real time at anytime and anywhere due to the minimized size of the device.CONSTITUTION: A structure of an earring type PPG device with a solar cell includes a body housing(100) which has an earring shape which is attachable to an ear lobe an MICOM(micro computer processor, 110) which is placed in the body housing, and composed of a control unit, a determination unit, and a storage a communication unit(120) which sends and receives signals through a wireless communication mode a power supply unit(130) which is composed of at least one between a solar cell or a rechargeable battery a PPG sensor which is a light source and a photo-detector and an earring pin(300) that attaches the body housing to an ear lobe to be fixed. An earring, which is embedded with the PPG sensor and a solar cell, makes the photo-detector to receive the light which is projected from the light source, calculates PPG from the light, and transmits the calculated data wirelessly.COPYRIGHT KIPO 2013본 발명은 태양광 전지를 구비한 귀걸이형 광용적맥파 측정 기기의 구조 및 측정방법에 관한 것으로, 인체 구조 중 귀(耳)부분에 착용하는 귀걸이의 형태로 귓불에 착용이 가능한 귀걸이의 형태를 가진 본체 하우징(100)과, 본체 하우징 내부에 구성되는 MICOM(110)과, 무선통신방식으로 신호를 송수신하는 통신부(120)와, 태양광전지(solar pannel)나 충전배터리 중 적어도 하나로 구성되는 전력공급부(130)와, 광원(光源)및 광검출부(photo-detector)로 구성된 광용적맥파센서(200)와, 상기 본체 하우징(100)을 귓불에 착용하여 고정하기 위한 귀걸이핀(300)을 포함하여 구성됨으로써, 태양광판넬을 외부에 구비한 센서 내장 귀걸이의 광원으로부터 투사된 광(光)이 귓볼을 투과하면 광검출부로 수신하여 광용적맥파(PPG photoplethysmography)를 산출하여 측정된 데이터를 무선통신하는 것을 특징으로 한다.
