Walking analysis apparatus and method

A walking analysis apparatus comprising a processor and a memory storing at least one instruction executable by the processor, wherein when executed by the processor, the at least one instruction is configured to:

• measure impacts due to floor landing occurring during walking;
• identify an impact section before floor landing, a free fall section, and an impact peak section by floor landing in an impact graph over time;
• analyze at least one impact-related parameter for each of the impact section before floor landing, the free fall section, and the impact peak section by floor landing;
• and
• determine whether a walking-related accident type is a ground-level fall, falling from a high place, or a collision according to the analysis of the at least one impact-related parameter.

A walking-related accident response service method comprising:

• identifying an impact section before floor landing, a free fall section, and an impact peak section by floor landing in a graph of impacts due to floor landing occurring during walking,
• determining whether a walking-related accident type is a ground-level fall, falling from a high place, or a collision by analyzing at least one impact-related parameter for each of the identified sections;
• calculating an accident risk level based on at least one of the determined walking-related accident type, a biometric factor, a location factor within a dangerous area, and a user risk group factor;
• and
• performing an accident response service according to the calculated accident risk level.
