Abstract
An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a communication circuit, a memory storing identifiers for one or more external electronic devices defined as a group, and a processor. The processor implements the method, including receiving biometric information detected by an external biometric detection device via transmission from at least one external electronic device of the group, selecting from within the group a particular external electronic device based on the received biometric information and the information related to the particular external electronic device, and transmitting the received biometric information to the selected particular external electronic device.
Claims6
An electronic device, comprising:
- a communication circuit;
- a memory storing identifiers for a plurality of external electronic devices included in a first group, including biometric information for a plurality of users associated respectively with the plurality of external electronic devices;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive biometric information detected by an external biometric detection device wherein the received biometric information does not include identification of a user to whom the received biometric information belongs,
- select a particular external electronic device from among the plurality of external electronic devices associated respectively with the plurality of users, based on the received biometric information and stored biometric information associated with the plurality of external electronic devices, wherein the particular external device belongs to a particular user, and
- transmit the received biometric information to the selected particular external electronic device belonging to the particular user,
- wherein the processor is configured to select the particular external electronic device by calculating a plurality of similarity scores respectively for the plurality of external electronic devices based on comparing the received biometric information to the stored biometric information, the plurality of similarity scores representing respective deviations of the stored biometric information with the received biometric information, and
- selecting the particular external electronic device having a similarity score indicating a lowest deviation with the received biometric information from among the plurality of external electronic devices,
- wherein the similarity score comprises a distance-based similarity score, and
- the particular external electronic device is selected as previously stored biometric information stored in the particular external electronic device has a lowest similarity score with the received biometric information from among the group,
- wherein the distance-based similarity score comprises an Euclidean distance-based similarity score.

A non-transitory storage medium storing commands executable by a processor of an electronic device to cause the processor to:
- store in a memory identifiers for a plurality of external electronic devices included in a first group, including biometric information for a plurality of users associated respectively with the plurality of external electronic devices;
- receive biometric information detected by an external biometric detection device wherein the received biometric information does not include identification of a user to whom the received biometric information belongs;
- select a particular external electronic device from among the plurality of external electronic devices associated respectively with the plurality of users, based on the received biometric information and stored biometric information associated with the plurality of external electronic devices, wherein the particular external device belongs to a particular user;
- and
- transmit the received biometric information to the selected particular external electronic device belonging to the particular user,
- wherein the particular external electronic device is selected by:
- calculating a plurality of similarity scores respectively for the plurality external electronic devices based on comparing the received biometric information to the stored biometric information, the plurality of similarity scores representing respective deviations of the stored biometric information with the received biometric information, and
- selecting the particular external electronic device having a similarity score indicating a lowest deviation with the received biometric information from among the plurality of external electronic devices,
- wherein the similarity score comprises a distance-based similarity score, and
- the particular external electronic device is selected as previously stored biometric information stored in the particular external electronic device has a lowest similarity score with the received biometric information from among the group,
- wherein the distance-based similarity score comprises an Euclidean distance-based similarity score.
