Abstract
A wearable walking assist and/or exercise device may detect a start of exercise of the user, select LED lamps to be blinked from the plurality of LED lamps included in the lighting module based on an exercise intensity of the wearable device, determine a blinking period of the selected LED lamps based on a walking speed of the user, and blink the selected LED lamps for the determined blinking period.
Claims20
A wearable device to be worn on a body of a user, the wearable device comprising:
- a driving module, comprising a motor and/or circuitry, configured to generate torque to be applied to the body of the user;
- a leg driving frame configured to transmit the generated torque to a leg of the user;
- a thigh fastening portion, comprising a strap and/or a support, connected to the leg driving frame and configured to be connected to the leg of the user;
- a sensor module, comprising a sensor, configured to obtain and/or provide sensor data comprising motion information of the leg driving frame;
- a control module, comprising processing circuitry, configured to control the wearable device based on the sensor data;
- and
- a lighting module configured to emit light to the outside using a plurality of light-emitting diode (LED) lamps of the lighting module which are under a control of the control module,
- wherein the control module is further configured to detect a start of exercise of the user, select LED lamps to be blinked from the plurality of LED lamps included in the lighting module based on an exercise intensity of the wearable device.
An electronic device comprising:
- a display;
- and
- a processor, comprising processing circuitry, configured to:
- identify one or more wearable devices paired with the electronic device, control to transmit an investigation signal to the identified one or more wearable devices and receive wearing information of the one or more wearable devices comprising battery information, usage information, and size information from the one or more wearable devices, and determine one of the one or more wearable devices to be connected with the electronic device through wireless communication among the identified one or more wearable devices based on the received wearing information.
An operating method of a wearable device, the operating method comprising:
- detecting, by the wearable device, a start of exercise of a user of the wearable device;
- and
- selecting light-emitting diode (LED) lamps to be blinked from a plurality of LED lamps included in a lighting module based on an exercise intensity of the wearable device.
An operating method of an electronic device, the operating method comprising:
- identifying at least one wearable device paired with the electronic device;
- transmitting an investigation signal to the identified at least one wearable device and receiving wearing information of the at least one wearable device comprising battery information, usage information, and size information from the at least one wearable device;
- and
- determining one wearable device to be connected with the electronic device via wireless communication among the identified at least one wearable device based on the received wearing information.
