1. A combination table and cup with bio-signal acquisition and feedback capabilities, comprising:
a cup including a first electrode, a second electrode, a human-body temperature sensor module, a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor module, a bio-signal acquisition module, a near field communication (NFC) transmitter and a wireless charging receiver; wherein the first electrode, the second electrode, the human-body temperature sensor module and the PPG sensor module are exposed on a surface of the cup, and the bio-signal acquisition module, the NFC transmitter and the wireless charging receiver are concealed within an internal waterproof space of the cup; wherein the bio-signal acquisition module is electrically connected to the first electrode, the second electrode, the human-body temperature sensor module, the PPG sensor module, the NFC transmitter and the wireless charging receiver; wherein the bio-signal acquisition module is configured to detect a user's cardiac signal with a built-in electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) acquisition module; wherein the bio-signal acquisition module detects and obtains an ECG signal when the user touches the first electrode and the second electrode with both hands, wherein the bio-signal acquisition module obtains a PPG signal through the PPG sensor module when the user touches the PPG sensor module, and wherein the bio-signal acquisition module obtains a human-body temperature signal through the human-body temperature sensor module when the user touches the human-body temperature sensor module; and
a table including a table top having a transparent cover plate, one or more transceiver modules each having an NFC receiver and a wireless charging transmitter, a visual display device and a computing device; wherein the table top has an upper portion, a lower portion, and an accommodation space formed between the upper portion and the lower portion; wherein the transparent cover plate is embedded in the upper portion and made of a transparent material; wherein one or more contact areas are formed on a top surface of the upper portion and surround the transparent cover plate; wherein the one or more transceiver modules are arranged in the accommodation space, located at a bottom surface of the upper portion, and corresponding to the one or more contact areas in position; wherein the visual display device is arranged in the accommodation space, located on a top surface of the lower portion and underneath the transparent cover plate; wherein the computing device is arranged in the accommodation space and located on the top surface of the lower portion; wherein the computing device is electrically connected to the one or more transceiver modules and the visual display device; wherein the wireless charging transmitter is configured to transmit electrical power through an inductive coupling to the wireless charging receiver when the cup is placed on the corresponding contact area; wherein the NFC receiver is configured to receive the ECG signal, the PPG signal and the human-body temperature signal transferred from the NFC transmitter through a near field communication protocol when the cup is placed on the corresponding contact area; wherein the computing device is configured to provide a physiological index and an extended cardiac index of the user according to the ECG signal, the PPG signal and the human-body temperature signal, and control the visual display device to display a first visual information corresponding to the physiological index and the extended cardiac index, and then determine whether to control the visual display device to display a different second visual information after comparing a value of the physiological index or the extended cardiac index with a threshold value.
