Abstract
Provided are a method of controlling a wearable device and a wearable device. The method of controlling the wearable device includes: determining whether a sensor provided in the wearable device is in an activated state; controlling an adherency controller for adjusting adherency between the sensor and a body of a user wearing the wearable device based on whether the sensor is in the activated state; and detecting a biosignal via the sensor.
Claims7
A method of controlling a wearable device, the method comprising:
- storing, in a memory of the wearable device, information regarding a first state and a second state of an adherency controller included in the wearable device, wherein the first state is a state in which a sensor provided in the wearable device does not detect a biosignal from a body of a user wearing the wearable device and the second state is a state in which the sensor detects the biosignal from the body of the user;
- determining, by a controller of the wearable device, whether the sensor detects the biosignal;
- and
- controlling, by the controller, the adherency controller to be in the first state or the second state based on whether the sensor detects the biosignal,
- wherein the adherency controller comprises a band wearable on the body of the user, and
- wherein the controlling comprises:
- controlling to lengthen the band in response to determining that the sensor does not detect the biosignal;
- and
- shortening the band in response to determining that the sensor detects the biosignal.
6 more elements
A wearable device comprising:
- a sensor configured to detect a biosignal from a body of a user wearing the wearable device;
- an adherency controller configured to adjust adherency between the wearable device and the body of the user;
- a memory storing information regarding a first state and a second state of the adherency controller, wherein the first state is a state in which the sensor does not detect the biosignal and the second state is a state in which the sensor detects the biosignal;
- and
- a controller configured to store, in the memory, the information regarding the first state and the second state, determine whether the sensor detects the biosignal, and control the adherency controller to be in the first state or the second state based on whether the sensor detects the biosignal,
- wherein the adherency controller further comprises a band wearable on the body of the user, and
- wherein the controller is configured to control the adherency controller to lengthen the band in response to the sensor not detecting the biosignal and shorten the band in response to determining the sensor detecting the biosignal.
