Method for measuring biological signal and wearable electronic device for the same

A method for measuring biological information using a wearable electronic device, the method comprising:

• sensing a movement of the electronic device;
• computing a movement value of the electronic device using the sensed movement and detecting a resting state when the movement value is within a predetermined first threshold range during a first time period;
• and
• configuring biological information of a user wearing the electronic device based on a biological signal for the user measured after detection of the resting state.

A wearable electronic device to be worn on a wrist of a user, comprising:

• a first sensor configured to sense a movement of the electronic device;
• a second sensor configured to sense a biological signal of the user wearing the electronic device;
• and
• a processor configured to receive, via the first sensor, information relating to the movement of the electronic device, and to determine a pulse rate of the user based on the biological signal if a movement of the electronic device is less than a predetermined first threshold range during a first time period based on the information received from the first sensor.

A method for measuring biological information using a wearable electronic device to be worn on a wrist of a user, the method comprising:

• receiving information relating to a movement of the electronic device;
• determining whether a movement of the electronic device is less than a predetermined first threshold range during a first time period based on the information relating to a movement of the electronic device;
• receiving a biological signal of the user;
• and
• determining a pulse rate of the user based on the biological signal if a movement of the electronic device is less than a predetermined first threshold range during a first time period based on the information relating to a movement of the electronic device.
