Abstract
Provided are a wearable device capable of having a sensor for detecting a biological signal attached thereto or detached therefrom, and a method of controlling the wearable device. The wearable device includes: a strap part configured to be worn on a body part of a user; a first interface configured to accommodate a detachable sensor and receive a biological signal from the detachable sensor in response to the detachable sensor being connected to the wearable device through the first interface; and a main body configured to process the biological signal.
Claims20
A wearable device comprising:
- a strap part configured to be worn on a body part of a user;
- a first interface disposed at a predetermined position of the strap part and configured to accommodate a detachable sensor and receive a biological signal from the detachable sensor in response to the detachable sensor being connected to the wearable device through the first interface;
- and
- a main body configured to process the biological signal.
A wearable device comprising:
- an interface configured to receive, from a detachable sensor that is attached to the wearable device, information about a method of detecting a biological signal detected by the attached sensor;
- and
- a controller configured to recognize a type of the attached detachable sensor based on the information about the method of detecting the biological signal, and generate biological information corresponding to the type of the recognized sensor, based on the biological signal.
A method of a wearable device comprising:
- receiving information about a method of detecting a biological signal from a detachable sensor that is attached to the wearable device;
- recognizing a type of the attached detachable sensor, based on the information about the method of detecting the biological signal;
- receiving the biological signal from the attached detachable sensor in response to the biological signal being detected by the attached detachable sensor;
- and
- generating, based on the biological signal, biological information that corresponds to the type of the recognized detachable sensor.
