Abstract
According to certain embodiments, an electronic device comprises: a sensor module; a processor operatively connected to the sensor module; and a memory operatively connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to perform a plurality of operations comprising: acquiring sensor information through the sensor module, determining sleep information of a user, based on the sensor information, and determining a biorhythm of the user, based on the sleep information.
Claims16
An electronic device comprising:
- a circular housing:
- a sensor module comprising a biometric sensor, a motion sensor and an environmental sensor;
- a circular display corresponding to the circular housing;
- at least one processor;
- and
- memory stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to perform a plurality of operations comprising:
- acquiring first sleep information related to an amount of a user's sleep through the sensor module,
- acquiring second sleep information related to a quality of the user's sleep through the sensor module,
- wherein the second sleep information comprises:
- information, acquired through the biometric sensor, indicating a sleep disorder,
- environmental information, acquired through the environmental sensor, affecting the sleep, and
- information, acquired through the biometric sensor or the motion sensor, on the user's activity before the sleep,
- determining a biorhythm of the user, based on the first sleep information related to the amount of the sleep,
- determining whether a temporary sleep disorder occurs based on the environmental information affecting the sleep, and the information on the user's activity before the sleep,
- in case that the temporary sleep disorder occurs, maintain the biorhythm of the user, and
- in case that a non-temporary sleep disorder occurs, adjust the biorhythm of the user based on the information indicating the sleep disorder,
- display, via the circular display, a user interface for the biorhythm or the adjusted biorhythm, wherein the user interface comprises a circular dial with segments associated with dates, and the segments associated with dates are colored according to their respective phases of the biorhythm or adjusted biorhythm, and wherein the circular dial of the user interface corresponds to the circular display and circular housing.
