Abstract
An wearable device and a system for controlling the same are provided. The wearable device is connected to a user biometric state measurement device to capture an image of a certain place or situation, and the system remotely controls the wearable device and the user biometric state measurement device in real time.
Claims19
A wearable device generating a user surroundings image signal in a wireless communications system, the wearable device comprising:
- a frame unit worn on a body of a user;
- an image pick-up unit capturing a user surroundings image;
- a battery unit supplying power to the wearable device;
- a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) communications module embedded in the wearable device, and directly connected to at least one external device to transmit and receive a communications signal;
- a voice signal input/output unit receiving a voice signal, to be transmitted to the at least one external device, from the user, or outputting a voice signal, received from the at least one external device, to the user;
- and
- a control unit controlling the image pick-up unit such that the image pick-up unit captures the user surroundings image in response to a first command received from a biometric state measurement device, the control unit controlling generating of a user surroundings image signal including the captured user surroundings image and transmitting of the generated user surroundings image signal to the at least one external device through the LTE communications module,
- wherein, when a value, represented by user biometric signal information measured by the biometric state measurement device, differs from a predetermined reference value by an amount equal to the predetermined value or more, the first command is transmitted from the biometric state measurement device.

A device for measuring a user biometric signal in a wireless communications system, the device comprising:
- a frame unit worn on the body of a user;
- a biometric signal measurement unit sensing a user biometric signal;
- an LTE communications module embedded in the device, and directly connected to at least one external device to transmit and receive a communications signal;
- and
- a control unit determining a user biometric state by determining whether a value, represented by the sensed user biometric signal, differs from a predetermined reference value by an amount equal to the predetermined value or more,
- wherein, when a biometric state result is determined as the value, represented by the sensed user biometric signal, differing from the predetermined reference value by an amount equal to the predetermined value or more, the control unit controls generating an alarm signal including the sensed user biometric signal and transmitting the generated alarm signal to a remote monitoring server through the LTE communications module, and the control unit transmits the generated alarm signal to an image signal generation device, wherein the alarm signal, transmitted to the image signal generation device, further includes image capturing instruction information for instructing the image signal generation device to capture a user surroundings image.

A system for remotely monitoring a physical condition using a wireless communications network, the system comprising:
- an image signal generation device;
- a biometric signal measurement device;
- and
- a remote monitoring server,
- wherein, when as a sensing result of a user biometric signal, a biometric state result is determined as a value, represented by the sensed user biometric signal, differing from a predetermined reference value by an amount equal to the predetermined value or more, the biometric signal measurement device generates an alarm signal including the sensed user biometric signal and transmits the generated alarm signal to the remote monitoring server and the image signal generation device through an LTE communications module included in the biometric signal measurement device,
- wherein the alarm signal, transmitted to the image signal generation device, further includes image capturing instruction information for instructing the image signal generation device to capture a user surroundings image, and
- wherein the remote monitoring server is directly connected to the LTE communications module included in the biometric signal measurement device to receive the alarm signal including the user biometric signal, is directly connected to an LTE communications module included in the image signal generation device to receive an image signal including an image captured by the image signal generation device, and performs at least one of outputting the received captured image through a display unit or storing the received captured image in a memory.
