Abstract
An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device comprises: a biological signal input unit for receiving the input of a biological signal detected through an electrode; and a processor which determines, based on a usage context of the electronic device, a biological signal to be inputted, sets up, according to the determined biological signal, the state of a channel corresponding to the electrode, and determines a biological change by using the biological signal inputted according to the set channel state.
Claims15
An electronic device comprising:
- a biological signal inputter comprising a plurality of electrodes;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- determine a first biological signal among a plurality of biological signals based on a context of the electronic device,
- based on the first biological signal being determined, identify a channel corresponding to a first electrode as a channel to receive the first biological signal, and activate the channel corresponding to the first electrode for receiving the first biological signal from among the plurality of electrodes,
- based on the first biological signal being determined, deactivate a channel corresponding to a second electrode for receiving a second biological signal of a type different than the first biological signal from among the plurality of electrodes, and
- determine a biological change using the biological signal received through the activated channel,
- wherein the first electrode is used to sense an electrooculogram (EOG) signal, and the second electrode is used to sense an electromyogram (EMG) signal.
A control method of an electronic device, the control method comprising:
- determining a first biological signal among a plurality of biological signals to be input based on a context of the electronic device;
- based on the first biological signal being determined, identifying a channel corresponding to a first electrode as a channel to receive the first biological signal, ad activating the channel corresponding to the first electrode for receiving the first biological signal from among the plurality of electrodes;
- based on the first biological signal being determined, deactivating a channel corresponding to second electrode for receiving a second biological signal of a type different than the first biological signal from among the plurality of electrodes;
- and
- determining a biological change using the biological signal received through the activated channel,
- wherein the first electrode is used to sense an electrooculogram (EOG) signal, and the second electrode is used to sense an electromyogram (EMG) signal.
