Description

Electronic device and method for generating heart rate-related data using the same

[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an electronic device and a method for generating data related to heart rate using the same.

[0002] With recent technological advancements, electronic devices are gradually evolving beyond their standard rectangular form into increasingly diverse shapes. For example, electronic devices are gradually evolving into wearable electronic devices that can be worn on parts of the body (e.g., hands, wrists, fingers, head, neck, ears) to enhance portability and user accessibility. Wearable electronic devices may include electronic devices that can be worn on parts of the body. Wearable electronic devices may include a watch-shaped device worn on the user's wrist and can provide diverse user experiences and beneficial functions.

[0003] The above information may be provided as background art to aid in understanding the present disclosure. No claim or determination is made as to whether any of the above-described matters constitute prior art related to the present disclosure.

[0004] An electronic device includes a wearable electronic device that is at least partially attached to a user's body, and the wearable electronic device may include a watch worn on the wrist. The wearable electronic device may include a biometric sensor for obtaining biometric information (e.g., heart rate information) of the user, which may be arranged in a form that at least partially contacts a part of the user's body. The wearable electronic device may obtain biometric information of the user using the biometric sensor, and may measure the user's heart rate based on the obtained biometric information. According to one embodiment, the electronic device may perform a heart rate measurement function to measure the user's heart rate, and may provide the user with information related to the measured heart rate.

[0005] In one embodiment, accurately measuring a user's heart rate, either periodically or irregularly, can be crucial for managing the user's health. In particular, accurate measurement and recording of heart rate is essential for detecting or predicting arrhythmia, a heart rate-related condition. For example, arrhythmia can occur when the heart's regular contraction and dilation are disrupted. Arrhythmia can include abnormally fast, slow, or irregular heartbeats. For example, when arrhythmia occurs, the user may experience palpitations, dizziness, or increased fatigue.

[0006] According to one embodiment, the electronic device measures a user's heart rate using a heart rate measurement sensor, and the electronic device can check the measured heart rate information and / or electrocardiogram-related symptom information (e.g., arrhythmia-related symptom information) generated based on the heart rate information, and accurately transmit the checked electrocardiogram-related symptom information to a doctor.

[0007] The technical tasks to be achieved in this document are not limited to the technical tasks mentioned above, and other technical tasks not mentioned will be clearly understood by those with ordinary skill in the technical field to which this document pertains from the description below.

[0008] According to one embodiment, an electronic device may include a heart rate measurement sensor, a processor, and a memory storing instructions. When the instructions are executed by the processor, the electronic device may be configured to obtain heart rate information using the heart rate measurement sensor, check electrocardiogram-related symptom information corresponding to the obtained heart rate information and / or the heart rate information, and generate first data (e.g., a file related to an electrocardiogram, a first electrocardiogram file) based on the heart rate information and / or the electrocardiogram-related symptom information.

[0009] According to one embodiment, a method for generating electrocardiogram-related data may include an operation of obtaining heart rate information using a heart rate measurement sensor, an operation of checking electrocardiogram-related symptom information corresponding to the obtained heart rate information and / or the heart rate information, and an operation of generating first data based on the heart rate information and / or the electrocardiogram-related symptom information.

[0010] According to one embodiment, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium (or a computer program product) storing one or more programs for executing a method for generating electrocardiogram-related data may be described. According to one embodiment, the one or more programs may include instructions that, when executed by a processor of an electronic device, perform an operation of obtaining heart rate information using a heart rate measurement sensor, an operation of checking electrocardiogram-related symptom information corresponding to the obtained heart rate information and / or the heart rate information, and an operation of generating first data based on the heart rate information and / or the electrocardiogram-related symptom information.

[0011] According to one embodiment, an electronic device may use a heart rate measurement sensor to perform a heart rate measurement function, and may identify electrocardiogram-related symptoms (e.g., arrhythmia symptoms) based on measured heart rate information. The electronic device may generate electrocardiogram-related data to be provided to a doctor (e.g., a medical professional) based on the identified electrocardiogram-related symptoms. For example, the electronic device may periodically or aperiodically measure a user's heart rate, and when measuring the heart rate, may acquire an external audio signal through an audio recording function, and may determine whether an electrocardiogram-related symptom occurs based on the measured heart rate and / or the acquired audio signal. When performing the heart rate measurement function, the electronic device may generate data related to an electrocardiogram in which an electrocardiogram-related symptom appears.

[0012] According to one embodiment, an electronic device can detect abnormal electrocardiogram-related symptoms and generate electrocardiogram-related data based on the detected electrocardiogram-related symptoms. The electrocardiogram-related data can be implemented in various file formats. For example, a user can detect abnormal electrocardiogram-related symptoms and generate electrocardiogram-related data based on the detected electrocardiogram-related symptoms. The user can then share the generated electrocardiogram-related data with a doctor during subsequent treatment, thereby enabling more convenient management of electrocardiogram-related symptoms. This can enhance user convenience through heart rate measurement and management.

[0060] FIG. 3A is a diagram illustrating an embodiment in which data related to heart rate is generated based on heart rate information measured by a first electronic device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, and the data related to heart rate is shared with a second electronic device.

[0061] The first electronic device (301) of FIG. 3A (e.g., a wearable electronic device, a watch) may be at least partially similar to the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1 and / or FIG. 2, or may further include other embodiments of the electronic device (101). The second electronic device (302) of FIG. 3A (e.g., a smartphone, a portable terminal) may be at least partially similar to the electronic devices (102, 104) of FIG. 1, or may further include other embodiments of the electronic devices (102, 104). The operation illustrated in FIG. 3A may be performed in at least one of the first electronic device (301) and / or the second electronic device (302). According to one embodiment, some of the operations illustrated in FIG. 3A (e.g., an operation of measuring heart rate information) may be performed in the first electronic device (301), and other some of the operations illustrated in FIG. 3A (e.g., an operation of generating heart rate-related data based on measured heart rate information) may be performed in the second electronic device (302). According to one embodiment, the operations illustrated in FIG. 3A may be performed independently in each of the first electronic device (301) and the second electronic device (302).

[0062] Referring to FIG. 3A, the first electronic device (301) may include a wearable electronic device (e.g., a wearable watch, a smart ring) that can be worn on a user's body (e.g., a wrist, a finger), and may measure and obtain user's biometric information (e.g., heart rate information, the user's heart rate) using a built-in heart rate measurement sensor (e.g., the heart rate measurement sensor (320) of FIG. 3B). The first electronic device (301) is not limited to the wearable watch illustrated in FIGS. 2A and 2B. The first electronic device (301) may include electronic devices of various form factors that can be worn on a part of the user's body, such as a smart ring, and obtain user's biometric information from the part of the body. The first electronic device (301) may generate data related to the user's heart rate (e.g., a file in a form that can be shared with an external electronic device) based on the user's biometric information (e.g., heart rate information). For example, data related to heart rate can be implemented in various file formats. The first electronic device (301) can be operatively connected to a second electronic device (302) (e.g., a mobile terminal device) through a communication circuit (e.g., a communication module (190) of FIG. 1), and can provide biometric information measured by the first electronic device (301) (e.g., a user's heart rate information, a heart rate-related file in which heart rate information is confirmed) to the second electronic device (302). The second electronic device (302) can display a user interface (303) related to an electrocardiogram based on the biometric information (e.g., heart rate information, information related to heart rate) provided from the first electronic device (301).

[0063] According to one embodiment, the first electronic device (301) may include a wearable watch that can be worn on a part of the user's body (e.g., a wrist), and may include a heart rate measurement sensor (e.g., a sensor module (211) of FIG. 2B, a heart rate measurement sensor (320) of FIG. 3B) for measuring the user's heart rate through the skin in physical contact. For example, the heart rate measurement sensor (320) may be disposed in the first electronic device (301) in a form that is at least partially exposed to the external environment. For example, the heart rate measurement sensor (320) may include an ECG (Electrocardiogram) sensor for detecting an electrical signal according to a heartbeat, and / or a PPG (Photoplethysmography) sensor for measuring blood flow using light. In response to the execution of the heart rate measurement function, the first electronic device (301) may at least partially activate the heart rate measurement sensor (320) and measure the user's heart rate using the activated heart rate measurement sensor (320). According to one embodiment, the first electronic device (301) may perform the heart rate measurement function periodically or non-periodically, and may measure the user's heart rate according to the execution of the heart rate measurement function. The first electronic device (301) may perform the heart rate measurement function and obtain heart rate information corresponding to the measured heart rate. According to one embodiment, the first electronic device (301) may generate data related to the heart rate based on the obtained heart rate information, and may share the data related to the heart rate with another electronic device. For example, the data related to the heart rate may be implemented in various file formats.

[0064] According to one embodiment, the first electronic device (301) can be operatively connected to a second electronic device (302) (e.g., a mobile terminal device) via a communication circuit (e.g., the communication circuit (390) of FIG. 3B) and can share data related to the generated heart rate with the second electronic device (302). According to one embodiment, a user of the first electronic device (301) can share data related to the heart rate (e.g., a heart rate file) generated based on the user's heart rate information with others (e.g., a doctor, another electronic device), and the data related to the heart rate (e.g., the heart rate file) can be utilized as the user's medical treatment information. For example, when the shared data related to the heart rate is executed in the second electronic device (302), the second electronic device (302) can display a user interface (303) corresponding to the data related to the heart rate.

[0065] According to one embodiment, when executing a heart rate measurement function, the first electronic device (301) may at least partially activate a microphone (e.g., a microphone (350) of FIG. 3B) and execute an audio recording function by the microphone. For example, the first electronic device (301) may acquire an external audio signal using the microphone, and may determine electrocardiogram symptom information (e.g., information related to an electrocardiogram symptom) based on the acquired audio signal. The audio signal may include a voice signal (e.g., natural language) by the user and / or a non-voice signal (e.g., voice tremor, groaning, breathing sound, change in tone, sound related to a fall). The first electronic device (301) may determine, based on the acquired audio signal, whether a symptom related to an electrocardiogram (e.g., symptom information related to an arrhythmia) has occurred. For example, the first electronic device (301) can convert an acquired audio signal (e.g., a voice signal) into text, and if a word related to an arrhythmia symptom is included in the converted text, the first electronic device (301) can determine that the user has experienced a symptom related to an arrhythmia. As another example, the first electronic device (301) can analyze an acquired audio signal (e.g., a non-voice signal), and based on the analyzed audio signal, determine whether a preset phenomenon (e.g., a voice tremor occurs, a groan occurs, a breathing difficulty occurs, and / or an abnormal change in tone occurs) has occurred.

[0066] According to one embodiment, the first electronic device (301) (e.g., a wearable electronic device) may automatically execute an audio recording function via a microphone (350) when performing a heart rate measurement function. The first electronic device (301) may determine whether a symptom related to an arrhythmia has occurred in the user based on heart rate information measured using a heart rate measurement sensor (e.g., the heart rate measurement sensor (320) of FIG. 3B) and / or audio information acquired by the audio recording function. When the occurrence of a symptom related to an arrhythmia is confirmed, the first electronic device (301) may generate data related to a heart rate based on the arrhythmia symptom (e.g., a heart rate file, an electrocardiogram file), and share the generated data related to a heart rate with a second electronic device (302) (e.g., a portable terminal device).

[0067] According to one embodiment, the first electronic device (301) can detect symptom information related to arrhythmia that occurs periodically or aperiodically, and generate data related to heart rate (e.g., an electrocardiogram file) based on the symptom information related to the arrhythmia. For example, in a hospital treatment situation, a user of the first electronic device (301) can transmit the generated electrocardiogram file to a doctor and hear an explanation of the symptom information related to the arrhythmia from the doctor. According to one embodiment, the user can conveniently generate data related to heart rate (e.g., an electrocardiogram file) that includes symptom information related to arrhythmia, and conveniently manage his or her health.

For example, the processor (120) may analyze an audio signal (e.g., natural language) based on the user's voice-related information (311) and convert the audio signal into text. According to one embodiment, even in a situation where the user arbitrarily utters sentences and / or words, the processor (120) may convert the spoken audio signal into text based on the user's voice-related information (311). The heart rate information (312) may include information related to the user's heart rate (e.g., beats per minute, average heart rate, heart rate in a specific situation). The heart rate information (312) may include various information related to the user's heart rate. For example, the processor (120) can predict and infer the current state of the user based on the heart rate information (312), and determine whether the user has a symptom related to arrhythmia. The symptom information (313) may include at least one symptom information related to arrhythmia. For example, the symptom related to arrhythmia may include at least one symptom among the symptoms of a measured heart rate exceeding a set heart rate, a symptom of an irregular heartbeat, a symptom of an irregular heartbeat interval, and / or a symptom of a suspected arrhythmia-related disease. The symptoms related to arrhythmia may be stored as text in the form of a list.

For example, the ECG sensor (321) may detect an electrical signal according to a heartbeat when at least partially in contact with the skin. The electronic device (301) may use the ECG sensor (321) to implement a graph related to the user's heartbeat (e.g., a graph representing electrical activity of the heart). According to one embodiment, the processor (120) may detect an electrical signal according to a heartbeat based on the ECG sensor (321) included in the heart rate measurement sensor (320), and may measure the heartbeat based on the detected electrical signal. For another example, the PPG sensor (322) can emit light toward the skin and obtain reflected light in a situation where the emitted light is reflected by the skin. The PPG sensor (322) can measure blood flow (e.g., change in blood flow) based on the acquired reflected light, and can measure heart rate based on the measured blood flow. According to one embodiment, the processor (120) can measure the user's heart rate using at least one sensor among the ECG sensor (321) and / or the PPG sensor (322) included in the heart rate measurement sensor (320).

[0076] According to one embodiment, the processor (120) may display a user interface (UI) (e.g., an execution screen) for a program (e.g., a health management application) related to heart rate measurement via the display (360). For example, the user interface (UI) may be implemented based on the size and / or shape of the display (360) of the electronic device (301) (e.g., a wearable electronic device in the form of a watch) and may include information related to the user's heart rate.

[0077] According to one embodiment, the communication circuit (390) may be a component that operatively connects the electronic device (301) with another electronic device (e.g., the second electronic device (302) of FIG. 3A).

[0093] In the following examples, the operations may be performed sequentially, but are not necessarily sequential. For example, the order of the operations may be changed, and at least two operations may be performed in parallel.

[0094] According to one embodiment, operations 401 to 407 and operations 501 to 509 may be understood to be performed by a processor (e.g., processor (120) of FIGS. 1 and 3B) of an electronic device (e.g., electronic device (101) of FIG. 1, electronic device (301) of FIG. 3B). The electronic device (301) of FIGS. 4 and 5 may be at least partially similar to the electronic device (301) of FIG. 3B, or may further include other embodiments of the electronic device (301).

[0095] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (301) may include a wearable electronic device that can be mounted on a part of the user's body (e.g., a wrist). For example, the electronic device (301) may include a wearable watch worn on the user's wrist. When worn, the electronic device (301) may maintain at least partial contact with the user's skin. The electronic device (301) may measure the heart rate of the user wearing the electronic device (301) based on a sensing area that physically contacts the skin. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (301) may measure the user's heart rate periodically or aperiodically according to a set time interval. For example, the electronic device (301) may execute a heart rate measurement function in response to a heart rate measurement command signal from the user. For example, the electronic device (301) may repeatedly execute the heart rate measurement function based on set time information (e.g., time interval information).

[0096] Referring to FIG. 4, in operation 401, the processor (120) of the electronic device (301) may execute a heart rate measurement function. For example, the processor (120) may execute the heart rate measurement function in response to a user input while a program related to heart rate measurement (e.g., a health management application) is running. The processor (120) may recognize a user input to a user interface (e.g., an execution screen) for a program related to heart rate measurement is displayed through a display (e.g., the display (360) of FIG. 3B), and execute the heart rate measurement function according to the user input.

[0097] In operation 403, the processor (120) may obtain heart rate information using a heart rate measurement sensor (e.g., the heart rate measurement sensor (320) of FIG. 3B). For example, the heart rate measurement sensor (320) may be positioned in a form that at least partially contacts the user's skin when the electronic device (301) is worn, or may be positioned adjacent to the skin. The heart rate measurement sensor (320) may be positioned adjacent to a portion of the skin (e.g., a sensing area).

[0098] In operation 405, the processor (120) can check symptom information related to the electrocardiogram (e.g., symptom information related to arrhythmia) based on the acquired heart rate information. For example, the processor (120) can determine whether the user's heartbeat is measured abnormally based on the checked heart rate information. The processor (120) can detect a situation in which the heartbeat becomes abnormally fast, slow, or irregular, and in the case of the detected situation, the heartbeat may be abnormal. The processor (120) can check symptom information related to arrhythmia based on heart rate-related information (312) and / or symptom information (313) stored in a memory (e.g., memory (130) of FIGS. 1 and 3B).

[0099] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (301) can detect or predict arrhythmia, a heart rate-related disease, based on heart rate information. For example, if arrhythmia occurs, the heartbeat may be abnormally fast, slow, or irregular, and the user may experience palpitations, dizziness, or increased fatigue.

[0100] In operation 407, the processor (120) may generate first data based on heart rate information and / or symptom information related to electrocardiogram (e.g., symptom information related to arrhythmia). For example, the processor (120) may generate first data (e.g., information related to the user's heart rate, a file in a form shareable with other electronic devices, a first electrocardiogram file) based on the user's heart rate information measured using the heart rate measurement sensor (320) and / or symptom information (313) stored in the memory (130). When the first data is executed, the processor (120) may display a user interface (UI) including the heart rate information and / or the symptom information related to the arrhythmia through the display (360).

[0101] In one embodiment, the electronic device (301) may generate first data including user's heart rate-related information (e.g., heart rate) in response to the execution of the heart rate measurement function. In one embodiment, the electronic device (301) may share the first data with another electronic device.

[0102] Referring to FIG. 5, in operation 501, the processor (120) of the electronic device (301) may execute an audio recording function based on a microphone (e.g., the microphone (350) of FIG. 3B). For example, in a situation where a heart rate measurement function is executed, the processor (120) may at least partially activate the microphone (350) and acquire an external audio signal using the microphone (350).

[0103] In operation 503, the processor (120) may obtain heart rate information using the heart rate measurement sensor (320). Operation 503 may operate in the same manner as operation 403. For example, the processor (120) may detect a heartbeat corresponding to a sensing area (e.g., a portion of the skin positioned adjacent to the heart rate measurement sensor (320)) using the heart rate measurement sensor (320), and obtain heart rate information according to the heartbeat.

[0104] In operation 505, the processor (120) may acquire an audio signal based on an audio recording function. For example, the acquired audio signal may include a voice signal (e.g., speech information, natural language information) and / or a non-voice signal (e.g., moaning sound, voice trembling information) by the user.

[0105] In operation 507, the processor (120) may check heart rate information, audio information (e.g., text information) generated based on an audio signal, and symptom information related to an electrocardiogram (e.g., symptom information related to an arrhythmia) based on the heart rate information and / or the audio information. For example, the heart rate information may include the current heart rate measured using a heart rate measurement sensor (320). If the audio signal is a voice signal, the audio information may include sentences and / or words recorded by converting the voice signal into text. If the audio signal is a non-voice signal, the audio information may include preset sentences and / or words corresponding to the non-voice signal. For example, if the audio signal includes information about a trembling voice, the audio information may include sentence information such as “tachycardia or palpitations” and / or “irregular heartbeat.” The symptom information related to an electrocardiogram may include at least one symptom list information corresponding to an arrhythmia symptom (e.g., symptom information (313) of FIG. 3B).

[0106] In operation 509, the processor (120) may generate second data (e.g., information related to the user's heart rate, a file in a form that can be shared with other electronic devices, a second electrocardiogram file) based on heart rate information, audio information, and / or symptom information related to the electrocardiogram. When the second data is executed, the processor (120) may display a user interface (UI) including the heart rate information and / or symptom information related to the electrocardiogram through the display (360).

[0107] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (301) may generate second data including user's heart rate related information (e.g., heart rate) and / or audio information (e.g., text information) in response to executing the heart rate measurement function. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (301) may share the second data with another electronic device. For example, when executing the second data on another electronic device, the other electronic device may display a user interface implemented based on at least one of the heart rate information, the audio information, and / or the symptom information related to the electrocardiogram included in the second data.

[0108] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (301) can repeatedly execute a heart rate measurement function according to a set cycle (e.g., about 10 minutes). For example, the processor (120) of the electronic device (301) can execute an audio recording function through the microphone (350) while performing the heart rate measurement function about every 10 minutes. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (301) can obtain about 6 pieces of heart rate information and about 6 audio signals based on about 1 hour. The electronic device (301) can check a situation in which the heart rate information and / or audio signals change based on the set cycle, and can generate data (e.g., an electrocardiogram file) including a plurality of pieces of heart rate information and / or a plurality of audio signals.

[0109] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (301) may execute a heart rate measurement function according to a set cycle (e.g., about 10 minutes) to check heart rate information and electrocardiogram-related symptom information corresponding to the heart rate information. If the identified electrocardiogram-related symptom information is included in the electrocardiogram symptom list (e.g., if an abnormal symptom related to the electrocardiogram is detected), the electronic device (301) may automatically generate and display a notification message for executing an audio recording function. The electronic device (301) may execute the audio recording function in response to a user input for the displayed notification message, and may acquire a user's voice signal (e.g., an audio signal) by the audio recording function. The electronic device (101) may generate data (e.g., an electrocardiogram file) including heart rate information and an audio signal based on the electrocardiogram-related symptom information generated based on the acquired voice signal. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (301) can periodically check heart rate information using a heart rate measurement function, and if the heart rate information corresponds to a list of electrocardiogram symptoms corresponding to an abnormal symptom, the electronic device (301) can output a notification message for executing an audio recording function. In response to a situation in which the heart rate information corresponds to an abnormal symptom, the electronic device (301) can automatically provide a user with a notification message for the audio recording function.

[0110] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (301) may execute an audio recording function based on a user input when acquiring heart rate information. For example, if the user feels discomfort related to the heart rate, the user may perform heart rate measurement based on the audio recording function. The electronic device (301) may execute the audio recording function in response to a user input that generates an execution command for the audio recording function, and may acquire a user's voice signal (e.g., an audio signal) through the audio recording function. The electronic device (101) may generate data (e.g., an electrocardiogram file) including heart rate information and an audio signal based on electrocardiogram-related symptom information generated based on the acquired voice signal.

[0111] In one embodiment, the electronic device (301) can share an electrocardiogram file with another external electronic device. For example, the electronic device (301) can generate data (e.g., an electrocardiogram file) containing heart rate-related information corresponding to a user patient, and, during a consultation with a doctor, can share the data (e.g., an electrocardiogram file) with another electronic device used by the doctor.

[0112] FIG. 6 is an exemplary diagram illustrating operations at each step in the process of generating an electrocardiogram file according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0113] The electronic device (301) of FIG. 6 (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1 and / or FIG. 2A, the electronic device (301) of FIG. 3B) may be at least partially similar to the first electronic device (301) of FIG. 3A, or may further include other embodiments of the first electronic device. The second electronic device (302) of FIG. 6 (e.g., a smartphone, a portable terminal) may be at least partially similar to the electronic devices (102, 104) of FIG. 1 (e.g., the second electronic device (302) of FIG. 3A), or may further include other embodiments of the electronic devices (102, 104). The operation illustrated in FIG. 6 may be performed in at least one of the first electronic device (301) and / or the second electronic device (302). According to one embodiment, some of the operations illustrated in FIG. 6 (e.g., an operation of measuring heart rate information) may be performed in the first electronic device (301), and other some of the operations illustrated in FIG. 6 (e.g., an operation of generating heart rate-related data based on measured heart rate information) may be performed in the second electronic device (302). According to one embodiment, the operations illustrated in FIG. 6 may be performed independently or separately in each of the first electronic device (301) and the second electronic device (302).

[0114] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (e.g., the first electronic device (301) of FIG. 3A, the electronic device (301) of FIG. 3B) may include a wearable electronic device that can be mounted on a part of the user's body (e.g., the wrist). For example, the electronic device (301) may include a wearable watch that is worn on the user's wrist. When worn, the electronic device (301) may maintain at least partial contact with the user's skin. The electronic device (301) may measure the heart rate of the user wearing the electronic device (301) based on a sensing area that is in physical contact with the skin. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (301) is not limited to a wearable watch. The electronic device (301) may include electronic devices of various form factors that can be mounted on a part of the user's body, such as a smart ring, and that can obtain biometric information of the user from the part of the body. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (301) can measure the user's heart rate periodically or aperiodically according to a set time interval. For example, the electronic device (301) can execute a heart rate measurement function in response to a heart rate measurement command signal from the user. For example, the electronic device (301) can repeatedly execute the heart rate measurement function based on set time information (e.g., time interval information).

[0115] Referring to FIG. 6, the first screen (601) may include a user interface displayed through a display of the electronic device (301) (e.g., display (360) of FIG. 3B). For example, the processor of the electronic device (301) (e.g., processor (120) of FIG. 3B) may display a user interface for heart rate measurement in response to execution of a program related to heart rate measurement (e.g., a health management application).

[0116] The second screen (602) may include a changed user interface in a situation where a heart rate measurement function is executed in the electronic device (301). When the heart rate measurement function is executed, the processor (120) may measure the user's heart rate using a heart rate measurement sensor (e.g., the heart rate measurement sensor (320) of FIG. 3B) and may display a user interface indicating that the heart rate is being measured. According to one embodiment, in response to the execution of the heart rate measurement function, the electronic device (301) may activate a microphone (e.g., the microphone (350) of FIG. 3B) and may acquire a surrounding audio signal (e.g., the user's voice signal) using the activated microphone. The processor (120) may generate audio information (e.g., data in the form of text) based on the acquired audio signal. For example, the audio signal may include natural language spoken by the user, and the audio information may include information converted from the audio signal into text.

[0117] In operation 603, the processor (120) may determine whether the generated audio information includes a word that matches a symptom related to an electrocardiogram (e.g., symptom information related to an arrhythmia). For example, if the audio information is “the heartbeat is irregular,” the words “heart, heartbeat, irregular” may be included in the symptoms related to an arrhythmia. According to one embodiment, if the audio information includes a word corresponding to the symptom related to the arrhythmia, the processor (120) may select a symptom corresponding to the word from a symptom list on the fourth screen (604). The processor (120) may select at least one symptom that includes a word corresponding to the audio information from a symptom list including a plurality of symptoms.

[0118] If the audio information in step 603 does not include a word corresponding to the symptom related to the arrhythmia, the processor (120) may provide the user with a query sentence related to the arrhythmia on the third screen (611). For example, the processor (120) may output the query sentence related to the arrhythmia using a speaker. If the user selects an answer to the query sentence, the processor (120) may select at least one symptom corresponding to the selected answer.

[0119] The fourth screen (604) may include a user interface in which a first symptom (621) (e.g., “Rapid heartbeat or palpitations”, tachycardia and / or palpitations), a second symptom (622) (e.g., “Skipped heartbeat”, irregular heartbeat), and / or a third symptom (e.g., “Fatigue”, tiredness) is selected from a symptom list including a plurality of symptom information in the electronic device (301). The fourth screen (604) may display some of the plurality of symptom lists by a drag input (e.g., scroll input). The processor (120) may control some of the symptoms from the plurality of symptom lists to be displayed through the display (360).

[0120] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (301) may generate an electrocardiogram file based on heart rate information measured on the second screen (602), audio information generated based on an audio signal acquired on the second screen (602), and / or symptom information selected on the fourth screen (604). The electronic device (301) may share the electrocardiogram file with another electronic device (605) connected to the communication (e.g., the second electronic device (302) of FIG. 3A).

[0121] According to one embodiment, when executing an electrocardiogram file, the processor (120) may display a user interface (605) including a heart rate graph (631) corresponding to heart rate information, audio information (632) in which an audio signal is converted into text, and / or symptom information (633) selected based on the audio information (632).

[0122] FIG. 7 is an exemplary diagram illustrating an operation of outputting a set question in relation to an electrocardiogram symptom according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0123] The electronic device (301) of FIG. 7 (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1, the electronic device (301) of FIG. 3b) may be at least partially similar to the first electronic device (301) of FIG. 3a, or may further include other embodiments of the first electronic device.

[0124] In one embodiment, the electronic device (301) may include a wearable electronic device that can be attached to a part of the user's body (e.g., a wrist). For example, the electronic device (301) may include a wearable watch that is worn on the user's wrist.

[0125] Referring to FIG. 7, a symptom list (710) including a plurality of symptom information (711, 721, 731, 741, 751) is illustrated. The electronic device (301) may execute an audio recording function to generate audio information based on an acquired audio signal, and may determine whether words and / or sentences included in the generated audio information are at least partially included in the symptom information (711, 721, 731, 741, 751). If words and / or sentences included in the audio information are not included in the symptom information (711, 721, 731, 741, 751), the electronic device (301) may generate a query sentence corresponding to each symptom information.

[0126] For example, the electronic device (301) may be configured with a first query sentence (712) (e.g., “My heart is beating fast or pounding.”) for selecting a first symptom (711) (e.g., “Rapid heartbeat or palpitations”), and may output the first query sentence (712) using a speaker and display the first query sentence (712) through a display (360). The electronic device (301) may obtain an answer (e.g., an audio signal) to the first query sentence (712) using a microphone (350), or may obtain an answer by a user’s touch input. If the processor (120) determines that the symptom felt by the user is the first symptom (711) based on the answer to the first query sentence (712), the processor (120) may select the first symptom (711).

[0127] For example, the electronic device (301) may be configured with a second query sentence (722) (e.g., “My heart is beating irregularly, skipping the beat.”) for selecting a second symptom (721) (e.g., “Skipped heartbeat”), and may output the second query sentence (722) using a speaker.

[0128] For example, the electronic device (301) may be configured with a third query sentence (732) (e.g., “I feel tired and lethargic.”) for selecting a third symptom (731) (e.g., “Fatigue”), and may output the third query sentence (732) using a speaker.

[0129] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (301) may provide a user with a query sentence corresponding to each symptom information based on a symptom list containing multiple symptom information related to an electrocardiogram (ECG), and select symptom information related to arrhythmia based on the user's response to the query sentence. For example, the electronic device (301) may determine whether the user's symptoms are related to arrhythmia.

[0130] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (301) may generate an electrocardiogram file representing symptom information related to arrhythmia based on a plurality of user responses corresponding to a plurality of query sentences. The electronic device (301) may share the electrocardiogram file with other electronic devices.

[0131] FIG. 8 is an exemplary diagram illustrating an operation of acquiring a user's audio signal in response to a question related to an electrocardiogram symptom according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, and recording the electrocardiogram symptom based on the acquired user's audio signal.

[0132] The electronic device (301) of FIG. 8 (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1 and / or FIG. 2A, the electronic device (301) of FIG. 3B) may be at least partially similar to the first electronic device (301) of FIG. 3A, or may further include other embodiments of the first electronic device. The second electronic device (302) of FIG. 8 (e.g., a smartphone, a portable terminal) may be at least partially similar to the electronic devices (102, 104) of FIG. 1 (e.g., the second electronic device (302) of FIG. 3A), or may further include other embodiments of the electronic devices (102, 104). The operation illustrated in FIG. 8 may be performed in at least one of the first electronic device (301) and / or the second electronic device (302). According to one embodiment, some of the operations illustrated in FIG. 8 (e.g., an operation of measuring heart rate information) may be performed in the first electronic device (301), and other some of the operations illustrated in FIG. 8 (e.g., an operation of generating heart rate-related data based on measured heart rate information) may be performed in the second electronic device (302). According to one embodiment, the operations illustrated in FIG. 8 may be performed independently or separately in each of the first electronic device (301) and the second electronic device (302).

[0133] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (e.g., the first electronic device (301) of FIG. 3A, the electronic device (301) of FIG. 3B) may include a wearable electronic device that can be mounted on a part of the user's body (e.g., a wrist). For example, the electronic device (301) may include a wearable watch that is worn on the user's wrist. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (301) may measure the user's heart rate periodically or aperiodically according to a set time interval. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (301) is not limited to a wearable watch. The electronic device (301) may include electronic devices of various form factors that can be mounted on a part of the user's body, such as a smart ring, and that can obtain the user's biometric information from the part of the body.

[0134] Referring to FIG. 8, the first screen (801) may include a user interface displayed through a display of the electronic device (301) (e.g., the display (360) of FIG. 3B). For example, the processor of the electronic device (301) (e.g., the processor (120) of FIG. 3B) may display a user interface for heart rate measurement in response to the execution of a program related to heart rate measurement (e.g., a health management application).

[0135] The second screen (802) may include a changed user interface in a situation where a heart rate measurement function is executed in the electronic device (301). The processor (120) may measure the user's heart rate using a heart rate measurement sensor (e.g., the heart rate measurement sensor (320) of FIG. 3B) and may display a user interface indicating that the heart rate is being measured. According to one embodiment, in response to the execution of the heart rate measurement function, the electronic device (301) may activate a microphone (e.g., the microphone (350) of FIG. 3B) and may acquire an audio signal from the surroundings using the activated microphone. For example, the audio signal may include non-voice signals by the user (e.g., voice trembling information, groans, breathing sounds, changes in tone, and sounds related to a fall).

[0136] The electronic device (301) can recognize a non-voice signal from a user and confirm at least one symptom information set in response to the non-voice signal. For example, the symptom information can be included in a symptom list including a plurality of symptoms related to arrhythmia. For example, if “voice trembling information” is confirmed based on the non-voice signal, the processor (120) can confirm that the user is in a state of tachycardia (e.g., a relatively fast heart rate) and / or an irregular heartbeat. In the case of a state of tachycardia and / or an irregular heartbeat, the processor (120) can select at least one symptom (e.g., the first symptom (711) of FIG. 7) from among the plurality of symptoms. For example, based on a non-voice signal, if “panting or wheezing” is identified, the processor (120) can identify that the user has tachycardia (e.g., a relatively fast heart rate) and / or has difficulty breathing. In the case of tachycardia and / or difficulty breathing, the processor (120) can select the fourth symptom (741) of FIG. 7 from among a plurality of symptoms. For example, based on a non-voice signal, if “groaning” is identified, the processor (120) can identify that the user has chest pain or feels a sense of pressure. In the case of chest pain and / or a sense of pressure, the processor (120) can select the fifth symptom (751) of FIG. 7 from among a plurality of symptoms.

[0137] According to one embodiment, the processor (120) can identify symptom information (821) (e.g., arrhythmia-related symptom information) corresponding to a non-voice signal acquired through a microphone (350) from a symptom list including a plurality of symptoms related to arrhythmia, and can select the identified symptom information (821).

[0138] The third screen (803) may include a user interface in which symptom information (821) related to arrhythmia is selected from the electronic device (301) and displayed through the display (360). According to one embodiment, the electronic device (301) may generate data related to an electrocardiogram (e.g., an electrocardiogram file) based on the user's heart rate information measured using the heart rate measurement sensor (320) included in the third screen (803) and / or the symptom information (821) related to arrhythmia. The electronic device (301) may share the data related to the electrocardiogram with other electronic devices connected to the electronic device.

[0139] According to one embodiment, when executing data related to an electrocardiogram, the processor (120) may display a user interface (811) including a heart rate graph corresponding to heart rate information and symptom information (822) related to arrhythmia selected based on an audio signal (e.g., a non-voice signal).

[0140] FIG. 9 is an exemplary diagram illustrating an operation of checking a set phone number based on a user's audio signal and requesting a call to the set phone number according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0141] The electronic device (301) of FIG. 9 (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1, the electronic device (301) of FIG. 3b) may be at least partially similar to the first electronic device (301) of FIG. 3a, or may further include other embodiments of the first electronic device.

[0142] In one embodiment, the electronic device (301) may include a wearable electronic device that can be attached to a part of the user's body (e.g., a wrist). For example, the electronic device (301) may include a wearable watch that is worn on the user's wrist.

[0143] Referring to FIG. 9, in operation 901, a processor of an electronic device (301) (e.g., processor (120) of FIG. 3B) may identify audio information based on an audio signal. For example, in response to execution of a heart rate measurement function, the electronic device (301) may activate a microphone (e.g., microphone (350) of FIG. 3B) and acquire a surrounding audio signal (e.g., a user's voice signal) using the activated microphone. The processor (120) may identify audio information (e.g., data in the form of text) based on the acquired audio signal.

[0144] In operation 902, the processor (120) may determine whether the audio information identified above includes words related to an “emergency call request” (e.g., SOS call, call 911, help, emergency, emergency call). For example, the words related to an “emergency call request” may be preset and stored in a memory (e.g., memory (130) of FIG. 3B). The processor (120) may determine whether words and / or sentences in text form included in the audio information at least partially match words related to an “emergency call request.”

[0145] When an “emergency call request” is confirmed in operation 902, the processor (120) may display a first screen (911) (e.g., a notification screen before connecting an emergency call) via a display (e.g., a display (360) of FIG. 3B ). For example, the first screen (911) may display count information (913) and / or an icon for determining an emergency call. In the first screen (911), the count information (913) is set to “10 (seconds),” but is not limited thereto. The processor (120) may connect an emergency call when the count information (913) drops from “10 (seconds)” to “0 (seconds).” The processor (120) may connect an emergency call when a user input for a call icon occurs before the count information (913) drops to “0 (seconds).” When an emergency call is connected, the processor (120) can display a second screen (912) through the display (360).

[0146] If the “emergency call request” is not confirmed in operation 902, the processor (120) may display a third screen (921) (e.g., a notification screen before sending an emergency message) via a display (e.g., the display (360) of FIG. 3B ). For example, the third screen (921) may display count information and / or an icon for sending an emergency message. The count information in the third screen (921) is set to “10 (seconds),” but is not limited thereto. The processor (120) may send an emergency message when the count information drops from “10 (seconds)” to “0 (seconds).” The processor (120) may send an emergency message if a user input for the message sending icon occurs before the count information drops to “0 (seconds).” When sending an emergency message, the processor (120) may display a fourth screen (922) via the display (360).

[0147] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (301) may determine whether a symptom related to arrhythmia has occurred based on the verified audio information. In particular, the processor (120) may classify at least one symptom among the symptoms related to arrhythmia as a serious symptom (e.g., “shortness of breath”, “chest pain or pressure”, “fainting”). According to one embodiment, if the occurrence of a serious symptom is confirmed based on the verified audio information, the processor (120) may perform an “emergency call”. The processor (120) may check a phone number (e.g., 112, 119) related to the “emergency call” and attempt to connect a call to the verified phone number. According to one embodiment, when an “emergency call request” is made, the electronic device (301) may attempt to connect a call to a specific phone number set by the user (e.g., a guardian’s phone number), rather than the phone number related to the “emergency call”, or may send an emergency message.

[0148] A method for generating electrocardiogram-related data according to one embodiment may include an operation of obtaining heart rate information using a heart rate measurement sensor (320), an operation of checking the obtained heart rate information and electrocardiogram-related symptom information corresponding to the heart rate information, and an operation of generating first data based on the heart rate information and the electrocardiogram-related symptom information.

[0149] A method according to one embodiment may further include an operation of executing an audio recording function based on a microphone (350), an operation of acquiring an external audio signal based on the executed audio recording function, an operation of checking the heart rate information measured using the heart rate measurement sensor (320), audio information generated based on the audio signal, and the electrocardiogram-related symptom information generated based on the heart rate information and the audio information, and an operation of generating second data based on the heart rate information, audio information generated based on the audio signal, and the electrocardiogram-related symptom information.

[0150] A method according to one embodiment may further include an operation of determining whether the audio information is at least partially included in an electrocardiogram symptom list, an operation of generating the second data based on the symptom information included in the electrocardiogram symptom list when the acquired audio signal is at least partially included in the electrocardiogram symptom list, and an operation of generating third data based on the heart rate information and the audio information when the acquired audio signal is not at least partially included in the electrocardiogram symptom list.

[0151] According to one embodiment, the method may further include, in response to obtaining the heart rate information, an operation of displaying an electrocardiogram symptom list through a display (360), an operation of confirming the electrocardiogram-related symptom information corresponding to a user input for the electrocardiogram symptom list, an operation of generating first data based on heart rate information measured using the heart rate measurement sensor (320) and the electrocardiogram-related symptom information, and an operation of displaying a user interface implemented based on the generated first data through the display (360).

[0152] In one embodiment, the method may further include, in response to obtaining the heart rate information, an operation of outputting, through a speaker, at least one query sentence related to an electrocardiogram-related symptom, an operation of obtaining an audio signal corresponding to the at least one query sentence using a microphone (350), an operation of generating at least one answer information according to the at least one query sentence based on the obtained audio signal, and an operation of generating third data based on heart rate information measured using the heart rate measurement sensor (320), the at least one query sentence, and the at least one answer information.

[0153] The method according to one embodiment may further include an operation of connecting a call to a set telephone number through a communication circuit (390) when symptom information related to the electrocardiogram is included in a preset list of important symptoms.

[0154] According to one embodiment, the method may further include, before the call connection, an operation of displaying a notification message for the call connection through the display (360), and an operation of connecting a call to the set phone number in response to a user input for the displayed notification message.

[0155] According to one embodiment, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium (or computer program product) storing one or more programs for executing a method for generating an electrocardiogram-related file may be described.
