This application is a U.S. National Stage application under 35 U.S.C. § 371 of an International application number PCT/KR2019/000917, filed on Jan. 22, 2019, which is based on and claimed priority of a Korean patent application number 10-2018-0013639, filed on Feb. 2, 2018, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
Various embodiments of the disclosure relate to an electronic device for generating health information on the basis of a plurality of bio-signals, and an operation method therefor.
Various electronic devices that can be worn on the body of a user have been developed. Wearable electronic devices may include various sensors. For example, an electronic device may include various sensors such as an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, a temperature-humidity sensor, a proximity sensor, and an optical sensor. A user can measure information related to the body of the user through various sensors while wearing the electronic device, and identify his/her body.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an electronic device in a network environment according to an embodiment of the disclosure;
FIG. 2A illustrates structures of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the disclosure;
FIG. 2B illustrates structures of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the disclosure;
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an electronic device 101 in a network environment 100 according to various embodiments. Referring to FIG. 1, the electronic device 101 in the network environment 100 may communicate with an electronic device 102 via a first network 198 (e.g., a short-range wireless communication network), or an electronic device 104 or a server 108 via a second network 199 (e.g., a long-range wireless communication network). According to an embodiment, the electronic device 101 may communicate with the electronic device 104 via the server 108. According to an embodiment, the electronic device 101 may include a processor 120, memory 130, an input device 150, a sound output device 155, a display device 160, an audio module 170, a sensor module 176, an interface 177, a haptic module 179, a camera module 180, a power management module 188, a battery 189, a communication module 190, a subscriber identification module (SIM) 196, or an antenna module 197. In some embodiments, at least one (e.g., the display device 160 or the camera module 180) of the components may be omitted from the electronic device 101, or one or more other components may be added in the electronic device 101. In some embodiments, some of the components may be implemented integrated and implemented as in, for example, the sensor module 176 (e.g., a fingerprint sensor, an iris sensor, or an illuminance sensor) embedded in the display device 160 (e.g., a display).
The processor 120 may execute, for example, software (e.g., a program 140) to control at least one other component (e.g., a hardware or software component) of the electronic device 101 coupled with the processor 120, and may perform various data processing and computation. The processor 120 may load and process a command or data received from another component (e.g., the sensor module 176 or the communication module 190) in volatile memory 132, and store resulting data in non-volatile memory 134. According to an embodiment, the processor 120 may include a main processor 121 (e.g., a central processing unit (CPU) or an application processor (AP)), and an auxiliary processor 123 (e.g., a graphics processing unit (GPU), an image signal processor (ISP), a sensor hub processor, or a communication processor (CP)) that is operable independently from the main processor 121. Additionally or alternatively, the auxiliary processor 123 may be adapted to consume less power than the main processor 121, or to be specific to a specified function. Here, the auxiliary processor 123 may be operated separately from or embedded in the main processor 121.
In such a case, the auxiliary processor 123 may control, for example, at least some of functions or states related to at least one component (e.g., the display device 160, the sensor module 176, or the communication module 190) among the components of the electronic device 101, instead of the main processor 121 while the main processor 121 is in an inactive (e.g., sleep) state, or together with the main processor 121 while the main processor 121 is in an active (e.g., executing an application) state. According to an embodiment, the auxiliary processor 123 (e.g., an image signal processor or a communication processor) may be implemented as part of another component (e.g., the camera module 180 or the communication module 190) functionally related to the auxiliary processor 123. The memory 130 may store various data used by at least one component (e.g., the processor 120 or the sensor module 176) of the electronic device 101, for example, software (e.g., the program 140) and input data or output data for a command related thereto. The memory 130 may include the volatile memory 132 or the non-volatile memory 134.
