Description

Electronic device and method for compensating its travel distance

[0001] Various embodiments disclosed in this document relate to an electronic device and a method for compensating a movement distance thereof.

[0002] Electronic devices can run various types of applications, and among them, applications that provide location-based services (LBS) such as maps, navigation, social network services (SNS), health, and exercise can obtain location information of electronic devices and provide various services to users based on this.

[0003] The method by which an electronic device obtains location information may, for example, use a method of determining a location based on signals received from GNSS satellites using a GNSS (global navigation satellite system) sensor.

[0004] If the position of the electronic device changes as the user of the electronic device moves, for example, the distance the electronic device has moved can be calculated using inertial sensors, and the user's stride can also be determined (or estimated).

[0005] Electronic devices may exhibit errors in distance measurement depending on the user's wearing position or placement. For example, if the user rotates clockwise around a track, the measured distance may differ when the electronic device (e.g., a watch) is worn on the right wrist versus the left wrist. While the electronic device is described herein as being worn on the wrist in the form of a watch, the form of the electronic device is not limited to this.

[0006] For example, an electronic device may be held in the user's hand and moved in the form of a smartphone, or may be worn on the user's finger and moved in the form of a smart ring.

[0007] As the distance of the curve moving in this rotating object increases, the distance error due to the grip position of the electronic device can become larger.

[0008] An electronic device may include a memory storing instructions and at least one processor. The instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, may control the electronic device to obtain first information related to whether the electronic device is worn on the left or right side of the user's body, obtain second information related to the user's physical condition, determine a first moving distance and a turning direction for moving around the track based on GPS coordinate information when the user wearing the electronic device moves around a track, determine a correction distance based on the first information, the second information, and the turning direction, and determine a second moving distance based on the first moving distance and the correction distance.

[0009] An electronic device including a wearable device, comprising a memory storing instructions, and at least one processor, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to detect an activity of a user moving along at least one curved section, identify whether a position of the electronic device is relatively to the left or right with respect to a center of the user's body during at least a part of the activity, perform a correction related to the at least one curved section for the activity based on the identified position, and provide information on a movement distance related to the activity through a user interface according to the correction.

[0010] In a non-transitory storage medium storing instructions, the instructions, when executed by at least one processor, are configured to cause at least one processor to perform at least one operation, wherein the at least one operation may include an operation of detecting a user's movement path using an electronic device, an operation of confirming at least one curved section included in the movement path and a movement direction in the at least one curved section, an operation of obtaining information related to a location where the user carries the electronic device in the at least one curved section, and an operation of displaying a movement distance for the movement path based on the information related to the location and the movement direction.

[0011] Electronic devices according to various embodiments can compensate for rotational movement by taking into account, for example, the body size of a user, and measure a relatively more accurate movement distance.

[0012] For example, in sports that use a track, an electronic device can compensate for the distance along a curved section by taking into account the user's body size, thereby providing relatively more accurate information about the distance traveled.

In one embodiment, the auxiliary processor (123) (e.g., an image signal processor or a communication processor) may be implemented as a part of another functionally related component (e.g., a camera module (180) or a communication module (190)). In one embodiment, the auxiliary processor (123) (e.g., a neural network processing unit) may include a hardware structure specialized for processing artificial intelligence models. The artificial intelligence models may be generated through machine learning. This learning can be performed, for example, on the electronic device (101) itself where the artificial intelligence model is executed, or can be performed through a separate server (e.g., server (108)).

The communication module (190) may operate independently from the processor (120) (e.g., application processor) and may include one or more communication processors that support direct (e.g., wired) communication or wireless communication. According to one embodiment, the communication module (190) may include a wireless communication module (192) (e.g., a cellular communication module, a short-range wireless communication module, or a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) communication module) or a wired communication module (194) (e.g., a local area network (LAN) communication module, or a power line communication module). Among these communication modules, the corresponding communication module can communicate with an external electronic device (104) via a first network (198) (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, wireless fidelity (WiFi) direct, or infrared data association (IrDA)) or a second network (199) (e.g., a long-range communication network such as a legacy cellular network, a 5G network, a next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., a LAN or WAN)). These various types of communication modules can be integrated into a single component (e.g., a single chip) or implemented as multiple separate components (e.g., multiple chips). The wireless communication module (192) can verify or authenticate the electronic device (101) within a communication network such as the first network (198) or the second network (199) by using subscriber information (e.g., an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI)) stored in the subscriber identification module (196).

[0043] The wireless communication module (192) can support 5G networks and next-generation communication technologies following the 4G network, such as NR access technology (new radio access technology). The NR access technology can support high-speed transmission of high-capacity data (eMBB (enhanced mobile broadband)), minimization of terminal power and connection of multiple terminals (mMTC (massive machine type communications)), or high reliability and low latency (URLLC (ultra-reliable and low-latency communications)). The wireless communication module (192) can support, for example, a high-frequency band (e.g., mmWave band) to achieve a high data transmission rate. The wireless communication module (192) can support various technologies for securing performance in a high-frequency band, such as beamforming, massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO), full dimensional MIMO (FD-MIMO), array antenna, analog beam-forming, or large scale antenna. The wireless communication module (192) can support various requirements specified in the electronic device (101), an external electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (104)), or a network system (e.g., the second network (199)). According to one embodiment, the wireless communication module (192) can support a peak data rate (e.g., 20 Gbps or more) for eMBB realization, a loss coverage (e.g., 164 dB or less) for mMTC realization, or a U-plane latency (e.g., 0.5 ms or less for downlink (DL) and uplink (UL), or 1 ms or less for round trip) for URLLC realization.

In one embodiment, the mmWave antenna module may include a printed circuit board, an RFIC disposed on or adjacent a first side (e.g., a bottom side) of the printed circuit board and capable of supporting a designated high-frequency band (e.g., a mmWave band), and a plurality of antennas (e.g., an array antenna) disposed on or adjacent a second side (e.g., a top side or a side side) of the printed circuit board and capable of transmitting or receiving signals in the designated high-frequency band.

[0046] At least some of the above components can be interconnected and exchange signals (e.g., commands or data) with each other via a communication method between peripheral devices (e.g., a bus, GPIO (general purpose input and output), SPI (serial peripheral interface), or MIPI (mobile industry processor interface)).

[0047] According to one embodiment, commands or data may be transmitted or received between the electronic device (101) and an external electronic device (104) via a server (108) connected to a second network (199). Each of the external electronic devices (102 or 104) may be the same or a different type of device as the electronic device (101). According to one embodiment, all or part of the operations executed in the electronic device (101) may be executed in one or more of the external electronic devices (102, 104, or 108). For example, when the electronic device (101) is to perform a certain function or service automatically or in response to a request from a user or another device, the electronic device (101) may, instead of or in addition to executing the function or service itself, request one or more external electronic devices to perform the function or at least a part of the service.

For this purpose, cloud computing, distributed computing, mobile edge computing (MEC), or client-server computing technology may be used, for example. The electronic device (101) may provide an ultra-low latency service by using distributed computing or mobile edge computing, for example. In another embodiment, the external electronic device (104) may include an Internet of Things (IoT) device. The server (108) may be an intelligent server utilizing machine learning and / or a neural network. According to one embodiment, the external electronic device (104) or the server (108) may be included in the second network (199).The electronic device (101) can be applied to intelligent services (e.g., smart home, smart city, smart car, or healthcare) based on 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology.

The band guide member (254) is configured to limit the range of movement of the fastening member (252) when the fastening member (252) is fastened to the fastening member fastening hole (253), thereby allowing the fastening members (250, 260) to be fastened in close contact with a part of the user's body. The band fixing ring (255) can limit the range of movement of the fastening members (250, 260) when the fastening member (252) and the fastening member fastening hole (253) are fastened.

[0063] Referring to FIG. 3, an electronic device (300) (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1 or the electronic device (200) of FIG. 2) may include a side bezel structure (310), a wheel key (320), a front plate (201), a display (220), a first antenna (350), a second antenna (355), a support member (360) (e.g., a bracket), a battery (370), a printed circuit board (380), a sealing member (390), a rear plate (393), and fastening members (395, 397). At least one of the components of the electronic device (300) may be the same as or similar to at least one of the components of the electronic device (200) of FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, and a redundant description thereof will be omitted below. The support member (360) may be disposed inside the electronic device (300) and connected to the side bezel structure (310), or may be formed integrally with the side bezel structure (310). The support member (360) may be formed of, for example, a metallic material and / or a non-metallic (e.g., polymer) material.

At least a portion of the battery (370) may be disposed substantially on the same plane as, for example, the printed circuit board (380). The battery (370) may be disposed integrally within the electronic device (200), or may be disposed detachably from the electronic device (200).

[0066] The first antenna (350) may be positioned between the display (220) and the support member (360).

[0068] A sealing member (390) may be positioned between the side bezel structure (310) and the rear plate (393). The sealing member (390) may be configured to block moisture and foreign substances from entering the space surrounded by the side bezel structure (310) and the rear plate (393) from the outside.

[0069] Although FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 3 illustrate a watch-shaped device, the form of a wearable electronic device is not limited thereto. For example, the electronic device (101) may take the form of a typical smartphone, or may take the form of a smartphone including a rollable or flexible display. Alternatively, the electronic device (101) may take the form of glasses or a ring, worn on the user's body.

[0070] FIG. 4 illustrates an example in which a user's activity distance (e.g., moving distance) can be measured differently depending on the wearing position of the electronic device (e.g., electronic device (300) of FIG. 3).

[0071] Figure 410 shows the measurement records during the movement of rotating the track.

[0072] Figure 420 illustrates a situation where a user of an electronic device rotates (e.g., moves along a curved section of the track in Figure 410). The electronic device can measure the distance the user has moved. The electronic device may be positioned to the left (422) relative to the user's body center. The electronic device may also be positioned to the right (424) relative to the user's body center.

[0073] In one embodiment, the total travel distance when a user moves along the track of Figure 410 may correspond to the sum of the travel distances along the curved sections and the travel distances along the straight sections. For example, the electronic device may correct the total travel distance measured based on the position of the electronic device to the total travel distance based on the center of the user's body. The corrected total travel distance may correspond to a distance that compensates for the measurement distance error in the curved section that may occur depending on the position of the electronic device.

[0074] For example, an electronic device may measure that the user has traveled a greater distance when the user is positioned to the right (424) than when the user is positioned to the left (422) when the user rotates counterclockwise. For example, the width of the user's shoulders or the distance between their hands (or arms) may affect the difference in distance traveled.

[0075] In FIG. 4, A may refer to the distance from the central axis (415) to the user's left hand. The central axis (415) may refer to the center of a circle corresponding to the curved section of the track. B may refer to the distance between the user's left hand and right hand. A+B may refer to the distance from the central axis (415) to the user's right hand. The user may wear the electronic device on his left hand and move counterclockwise with respect to the central axis (415). For example, if the user moves around the track of FIG. 410 (e.g., a regular running track) once, there may be two curved sections close to a semicircle on the track. In this case, the sum of the two curved sections corresponds to the circumference of a circle with a radius of A, so the user's movement distance in the curved section may be approximately 2 x π x A. On the other hand, if the user wears the electronic device on his right hand, the movement distance in the curved section may be approximately 2 x ð x (A+B) if he moves around the track of FIG. 410 (e.g., a regular running track) once. That is, the measured movement distance may vary depending on where on the body the user wears the electronic device. Or, the measured movement distance may vary depending on the direction in which the user rotates around the central axis (415).

[0076] In other words, even if an actual user moves the same distance, the measured distance may vary depending on where the electronic device is worn, held, or gripped. Errors resulting from rotational or curved motions can be even greater in tracked motion. Furthermore, errors resulting from rotational or curved motions can increase as the distance traveled increases.

[0077] For example, assuming a wrist-to-wrist distance of 100cm, the distance error on a 10,000m track and field course could be approximately 150m, although this varies depending on the user's body size (e.g., shoulder width). For sports with more rotations and more curved movements, such as short track speed skating, the error can be even larger, reaching, for example, 5-6%.

[0078] In one embodiment, the actual distance traveled by a user on a 10,000-meter track may require a correction of ±75 meters depending on the rotational direction relative to the center of the body. ±75 meters is merely an example and may vary depending on the track's length and settings.

[0079] Users can use electronic devices (e.g., smartwatches, smart rings, smartphones) to track their exercise records. However, electronic devices can experience errors during rotational movements depending on the user's wearing or gripping position, making it difficult to accurately measure and record distance traveled. Furthermore, electronic devices do not provide a separate compensation method for distance traveled on curved sections.

[0080] The user's moving distance may be relatively more accurate if measured based on the user's body center. Here, the body center may mean at least one of the center between the user's two shoulders, the center between the left and right hands, or the center of gravity when actually moving. Based on the user's body center, as in the example described above, if the user moves one lap around the track in Figure 410 (e.g., a regular running track), the moving distance in the curved section may be 2 x ð x (A+(B / 2)). The straight section distance measured by the electronic device may not differ whether the electronic device is worn on the left or right hand. However, the curved section distance measured by the electronic device may require correction because there is a difference when the electronic device is worn on the left or right hand.

[0081] Electronic devices according to various embodiments may correct a movement distance measured during exercise by considering the direction of movement of the user (e.g., clockwise, counterclockwise) and the wearing position of the electronic device. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may detect that the user is performing an exercise of rotating a track. In a situation where the user rotates counterclockwise around the central axis (415), if the user has moved one lap around the track (e.g., a regular running track) of Figure 410, the electronic device may correct the actual movement distance by adding 2 x ð x (B / 2) to the measured distance when worn on the user's left hand. Here, B may represent the distance between the user's left and right hands. Conversely, in a situation where the user rotates counterclockwise around the central axis (415), if the electronic device is worn on the right hand, the measured distance may be corrected by subtracting 2 x ð x (B / 2) from the measured distance.

[0082] According to one embodiment, the number of revolutions may be measured using GNSS (e.g., GPS) and / or inertial sensors. The number of revolutions may refer to the number of laps measured when the track is rotated. Alternatively, the electronic device (101) may determine the number of revolutions by considering the user's movement distance when information about the length of the track is input in a situation where it is determined that the track movement is taking place. The total correction distance may be determined by multiplying the number of revolutions by the correction distance per revolution. The correction distance per revolution on a track (e.g., a regular track for athletics) may be, for example, to consider two curved sections included in the track as one circle and calculate the circumference of the circle based on the actual center of movement (e.g., the center of the user's body) rather than the position of the electronic device. In the examples described above, two curved sections included in the movement path (e.g., the track) were considered as one circle and corrected, but the method or formula for correcting the movement distance may vary depending on the shape or number of curved sections present in the measured movement path.

[0083] For example, if a clockwise rotation is detected, the electronic device (101) may determine that the electronic device (101) is positioned on the left side of the user. In this case, the electronic device (101) may determine to subtract the total compensation distance from the measured movement distance. Conversely, if the electronic device (101) is positioned on the right side of the user, the electronic device (101) may determine to add the total compensation distance to the measured movement distance.

[0084] For example, if a counterclockwise rotation is detected, the electronic device (101) may determine that the electronic device (101) is positioned on the left side of the user. In this case, the electronic device (101) may determine to add the total compensation distance to the measured movement distance. Conversely, if the electronic device (101) is positioned on the right side of the user, the electronic device (101) may determine to subtract the total compensation distance from the measured movement distance.

[0085] An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present document may provide a correction method for relatively more accurate recording of moving distance based on the user's body size and the length of a curved section of the moving distance.

[0086] FIG. 5 is a block diagram of an electronic device according to various embodiments.

[0087] Referring to FIG. 5, the electronic device (500) may include a processor (510), a memory (520), a display (530), a communication module (540), a sensor (550), and a camera (560), and may implement various embodiments of the present document even if at least some of the illustrated configurations are omitted and / or replaced. The electronic device (500) may further include at least some of the configurations and / or functions of the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1.

[0088] According to various embodiments, the display (530) may display content provided from the processor (510).

[0089] According to various embodiments, the display (530) may be configured as a touch screen that detects touch and / or proximity touch (or hovering) input using a part of the user's body (e.g., a finger) or an input device (e.g., a stylus pen).

[0090] According to various embodiments, the electronic device (500) may include at least one sensor (550) that detects contact or proximity. For example, the electronic device (500) may include various types of proximity sensors that detect proximity or contact of an object, such as near field communication (NFC), radio frequency identification (RFID), Bluetooth (or Bluetooth low energy), or a touch sensor.

[0091] According to various embodiments, the camera (560) may be positioned on a bezel area surrounding the display (530) or a notch area inside the display (530) to capture images of surrounding objects. Image data captured by the camera (560) is provided to the processor (510), and the processor (510) may analyze the image to determine the user's interaction location.

[0092] According to various embodiments, the communication module (540) may provide a wired or wireless communication interface with an external device. For example, the communication module (540) may include a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) and a universal serial bus (USB) interface as examples of a wired communication interface (e.g., the interface (177) of FIG. 1). In addition, the communication module (540) may include a wireless communication module (e.g., the wireless communication module (192) of FIG. 1) that supports a short-range communication module with an external device (e.g., the electronic device (102) of FIG. 1). The wireless communication module may support various short-range wireless communication methods (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, BLE (Bluetooth low energy)) and may include independent hardware and / or software configurations for supporting each wireless communication method.

[0093] According to various embodiments, the memory (520) may temporarily or permanently store various data, including volatile memory and non-volatile memory. The memory (520) may include at least some of the configuration and / or functions of the memory (130) of FIG. 1 and may store the program (140) of FIG. 1.

[0094] The memory (520) can store various instructions that can be performed by the processor (510). Such instructions can include control commands such as arithmetic and logical operations, data movement, and input / output that can be recognized by the processor (510).

[0095] According to various embodiments, the processor (510) may be configured to perform calculations or data processing related to control and / or communication of each component of the electronic device (500), and may be configured with one or more processors (510). For example, the processor (510) of the electronic device (500) may correspond to a plurality of processors that collectively perform a plurality of operations by dividing them among the processors. The processor (510) may include at least some of the configurations and / or functions of the processor (120) of FIG. 1. The processor (510) may be operatively, functionally, and / or electrically connected to each component of the electronic device (500), such as the display (530), the memory (520), the sensor (550), and the camera (560). The operations performed by the electronic device (500) may all be executed by one processor, or each operation may be executed by a plurality of processors.

[0096] According to various embodiments, there will be no limitation to the computational and data processing functions that the processor (510) can implement on the electronic device (500), but embodiments that measure the user's movement distance using a sensor (550) and correct the user's rotational movement distance based on the user's body length will be described below. The operations of the processor (510) described below can be performed by loading instructions stored in the memory (520).

[0097] Figure 6 illustrates an example of obtaining a user's body information.

[0098] In FIG. 6, an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1) may display a picture (610) for inputting a user's body information. In one embodiment, the picture (610) may include items (612) for gender, height, weight, and / or shoulder width of the user.

[0099] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can estimate the shoulder width using other previously entered body information of the user if the user does not input an item (612) for shoulder width.

[0100] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may display a screen (620) through which a user may input a wearing position or a grip position of the electronic device (101). Based on the user input on the screen (620), the electronic device (101) may determine whether the user is wearing the electronic device (101) on the right wrist or the left wrist. Although this has been described assuming that the electronic device (101) is a smartwatch, the form of the electronic device (101) is not limited to a smartwatch. The method for determining whether the electronic device (101) is worn on the left or right wrist is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the electronic device (101) may analyze a movement pattern of the wrist or the shape of the wrist by the sensor (550). Alternatively, the electronic device (101) may determine whether the electronic device (101) is worn on the left or right wrist by using the measured direction of the user's fingerprint.

[0101] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may take the form of a smartphone. In this case, the electronic device (101) may receive information on whether the user is holding the smartphone on their right or left hand. Alternatively, the electronic device (101) may take the form of a smart ring. In this case, it may be determined whether the electronic device (101) is worn on the right or left hand. The following description will assume that the electronic device (101) is a smartwatch.

[0102] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can determine where the electronic device (101) is worn based on the orientation of the displayed user interface or whether a specific function (e.g., turning on the screen when the wrist is raised) is performed.

[0103] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can determine the position (e.g., left hand or right hand) where the electronic device (101) is worn using a plurality of sensors (e.g., acceleration, geomagnetism, gyro, barometric pressure, electromyography (EMG) sensors).

[0104] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can determine the position where the electronic device (101) is worn based on the shaking pattern of the user's body. For example, when the electronic device (101) is worn on the user's right hand (or right wrist) and the user walks, the arm may swing from right to left. The electronic device (101) can detect the arm swing pattern while moving and determine that the electronic device (101) is worn on the user's right hand (or right wrist) based on the pattern. Conversely, the electronic device can also determine that the electronic device (101) is worn on the user's left hand (or left wrist) based on the arm swing pattern being formed from left to right.

[0105] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can identify the position where the electronic device (101) is worn by utilizing statistical patterns of the movements of the user's left hand (or left arm) or right hand (or right arm). For example, when the user performs a generally known type of motion, the wearing direction can be primarily estimated (e.g., sensing hand movements when opening a car door or movements when operating a mouse or smartphone), and when the user additionally performs a specific type of motion in a subsequent motion (e.g., sensing movements when operating a car steering wheel or gear or movements when operating a keyboard), the wearing direction can be secondarily estimated. Additionally or alternatively, when the electronic device (101) is connected to a specific external device (e.g., connecting to a Bluetooth device of a car or connecting to a Bluetooth device of a computer), the first or second estimation result can be confirmed, and it can be determined that the electronic device (101) is worn on the left or right hand.

[0106] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may utilize an artificial intelligence model (e.g., a machine learning model) to determine the user's movement patterns. The artificial intelligence model may be embedded within the electronic device (101) in the form of an on-device system. Alternatively, the artificial intelligence model may be operatively connected to an external server to perform learning. The electronic device (101) may use the artificial intelligence model to learn the user's movement patterns and, based on the user's movement patterns, determine the location where the user is wearing the electronic device (101).

[0107] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may provide, as input, a photograph of the user's body (e.g., wrist, fingers) among images taken by the user to an artificial intelligence model (e.g., machine learning model). The electronic device (101) may distinguish a part of the user's body (e.g., wrist, fingers) using the machine learning model and determine whether the electronic device (101) is worn on the left or right side with respect to the user's center. The electronic device (101) may determine the position at which the electronic device (101) is worn based on the analysis result of the user image output from the machine learning model.

[0108] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can estimate the distance between the user's two arms using other body information of the user that has been previously input.

[0109] According to one embodiment, in a motion where the arms move back and forth, such as walking or running, the distance between the two arms can be estimated to be 1.5 times the distance between the shoulder blades (acromions) of the body. In other words, if the distance between the shoulder blades (acromions) of the user's body is 1 m, the distance between the two moving arms of the user can be estimated to be approximately 1.5 m. In this case, the electronic device (101) can determine 0.75 m, which is half of 1.5 m, as the distance between the center of the body and the electronic device (101). When the electronic device (101) moves along a curved section, the distance of the electronic device (101) can be corrected using the distance of 0.75 m as a radius. Here, the distance of 0.75 m is only an example and may vary depending on the body structure of the user. For example, if a user wears an electronic device (101) on his / her wrist and moves along a curved section on a track (e.g., a regular running track), the electronic device (101) can correct the movement distance of the electronic device (101) by using the distance obtained by multiplying pi (pi) by 0.75 m, which is the difference in radius between a circle corresponding to the measured curved section and a circle corresponding to the actual movement section. As the number of curved sections moved increases, the movement distance of the electronic device (101) can be corrected by adding a value obtained by multiplying pi by the distance of 0.75 m in proportion to the number of curved sections. This will be described with reference to FIGS. 9A and 9B. The electronic device (101) can determine the distance between the two arms when the user moves based on the distance between the shoulder blades (acromions) of the user's body. The electronic device (101) can estimate the distance between the shoulder blades (acromions) based on the user's body information.

[0110] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may calculate the arm-to-arm distance differently depending on the type of exercise. For example, the electronic device (101) may calculate the arm-to-arm distance as 1.5 times larger when the user is walking, and as 1.2 times larger when the user is running. This is merely an example, and the method for calculating the arm-to-arm distance based on shoulder width may vary depending on the settings.

[0111] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can determine the weight and height of a typical Korean based on Korean body standard information data measured by an official agency (e.g., the National Institute of Standards and Technology). Alternatively, the electronic device (101) can be connected to a server that collects and processes body data of multiple users, so that it can receive and use data on shoulder width corresponding to the conditions (gender, age, country, race, etc.) of the user of the electronic device (101), or receive and use data related to weight or height to calculate shoulder width. Here, the multiple users may refer to users who have permitted the collection of body data. The following description is based on the body of a Korean person, but race or nationality may vary depending on the user's environment.

[0112] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can download human body data (e.g., Korean standard human body information data) collected for various users from an external server. Based on the Korean standard human body information data, the electronic device (101) can estimate the distance between the arms (or the distance between the hands) according to the user's height and weight. [Table 1] shows the shoulder width and the distance between the arms according to the height range of a male user. [Table 2] shows the shoulder width and the distance between the arms according to the weight range of a male user.

[0113] Height range (cm) Shoulder width (min) Shoulder width (max) Shoulder width (average) Arm span (cm) 160 or more, less than 165 34.24 14 38.0 57.0 165 or more, less than 170 33.9 47.9 39.0 58.4 170 or more, less than 175 31.9 44.1 39.7 59.5 175 or more, less than 180 32.2 45.8 40.6 60.9

[0114] For example, if the user's body height is 168 cm, the electronic device (101) can obtain information that the user's shoulder width is 39.0 cm on average based on standard information. The electronic device (101) can determine the distance between the two arms (or the distance between the two hands) based on the obtained shoulder width of the user. The electronic device (101) can determine that the distance between the two arms (or the distance between the two hands) is 58.5 cm, which is 1.5 times the shoulder width.

[0115] In this case, the electronic device (101) can be determined to be 58.5 cm apart from the user's arms, and 29.25 cm apart from the center of the user's body, which is half of that distance. Here, the description is made assuming that the user's body is 168 cm, but this may vary depending on the user.

[0116] Weight range (kg) Shoulder width (min) Shoulder width (max) Shoulder width (average) Arm span (cm) 55 or more, less than 60 34.2 44.1 38.9 58.3 60 or more, less than 65 32.2 43.6 39.0 58.5 65 or more, less than 70 33.9 44.6 39.3 59.0 70 or more, less than 75 33.7 47.9 40.1 60.2

[0117] For example, if the user's weight is 62 kg, the electronic device (101) can obtain information that the user's shoulder width is 39.0 cm on average. The user's shoulder width corresponding to the user's weight can be included in the standard information data. The electronic device (101) can determine that the distance between the two arms (or the distance between the two hands) is 58.5 cm, which is 1.5 times the shoulder width.

[0118] In this case, the electronic device (101) can be determined to be 58.5 cm apart from the user's two arms, and 29.25 cm apart from the center of the user's body, which is half of that distance. Here, the description is made assuming that the user's body weight is 62 kg, but this may vary depending on the user.

[0119] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may use either the user's two-arm distance calculated in [Table 1] or the user's two-arm distance calculated in [Table 2]. Alternatively, the electronic device (101) may use an average value of the user's two-arm distance calculated in [Table 1] and the user's two-arm distance calculated in [Table 2].

[0120] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may use the shoulder width of [Table 2] based on body weight if the user's body weight is higher than the standard body weight based on human body standard information data measured by the National Institute of Technology and Standards. If the user's body weight is lower than the standard body weight, the electronic device (101) may use the shoulder width of [Table 1] based on height.

[0121] In one embodiment, the human body standard information data may vary depending on, for example, one of country, race, gender, or time period.

[0122] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can determine shoulder width based on the difference between the user's weight and a standard weight, and determine the hand-to-hand distance (or arm-to-arm distance) based on the shoulder width. [Table 3] summarizes records of the difference between the user's weight and a standard weight and the hand-to-hand distance.

[0123] Height (cm) Weight (kg) Age Standard Weight (kg) Difference (kg) Difference (%) Arm Distance (cm) 1174714966.94.16.160.221791153571.943.159.961.83156632550.812.224.058.54169603363.9-3.9-6.158.4

[0124] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can determine that the user's height is 174 cm and his / her weight is 71 kg, and can determine the standard weight based on the user's age and gender. The standard weight can be determined based on Korean body standard information data measured by an official organization (e.g., the National Institute of Standards and Technology), or can be determined based on body data collected from multiple users' terminals or through an external server. If the user's weight is 71 kg and the standard weight is 66.9 kg, the electronic device (101) can determine that the difference from the standard is 4.1 kg and the user's weight is relatively higher by 6.1%.

[0125] According to one embodiment, when the user's weight is relatively higher than the standard weight, the electronic device (101) may determine the arm distance by giving priority to the weight over the height. For example, in the first item of [Table 3], the electronic device (101) may apply the arm distance of 59.5 in [Table 1] based on a height of 174 cm, but since the weight is 71 kg, which is greater than the standard weight of 66.9 kg, the electronic device (101) may apply the arm distance of 60.2 in [Table 2] for movement distance correction based on the weight. Alternatively, the electronic device (101) may determine the arm distance based on the weight described in [Table 2] when the user's weight is higher than the standard weight by a specified level (e.g., 5%). The specified level is merely an example and may vary depending on the setting.

[0126] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may determine the arm distance by giving priority to height over weight when the user's weight is relatively lower than the standard weight. For example, for the fourth item in [Table 3], where the height is 169 cm and the weight is 60 kg, the electronic device (101) may apply a value of 58.4 for the arm distance based on the height in [Table 1], since the user's weight is lower than the standard weight.

[0127] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may receive shoulder width input from a user and transmit the information to an external server. The external server may receive body information of multiple users and provide it as input to an artificial intelligence model (e.g., a machine learning model). The external server may use the artificial intelligence model (e.g., a machine learning model) to output a relationship between the user's height or weight and shoulder width and update body standard information data. The electronic device (101) may periodically receive updated body standard information data from the external server. Alternatively, the artificial intelligence model may be included within the electronic device (101) in the form of an on-device. Alternatively, the artificial intelligence model may be operatively connected to the external server to perform learning.

[0128] FIG. 7A illustrates an interface for selecting a track and a sport in an electronic device according to one embodiment.

[0129] According to one embodiment, an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1) may display a guide screen for selecting an item in FIG. 720 based on a user selection in FIG. 710. The electronic device (101) may display a guide screen for selecting a target movement distance in FIG. 730 based on a user selection in FIG. 720. The electronic device (101) may determine a type of exercise and a movement distance based on the user selection in FIG. 710, FIG. 720, and FIG. 730, and may start measuring the exercise when the user's movement is detected.

[0130] In Figure 710, an electronic device (e.g., electronic device (101) of Figure 1) may display an interface that allows the user to select whether the exercise involves rotating a track. The electronic device (101) may also display information about the user's current heart rate.

[0131] In Figure 720, the electronic device (101) may display an interface for selecting a sport. The sport may include, for example, track and field, ice skating, horse racing, cycling, or short track racing. This is merely an example, and the sport is not limited to this.

[0132] In Figure 730, the electronic device (101) may display an interface for selecting a workout distance or course. The workout distance may include, for example, 800 m, 1500 m, or 5000 m. This is merely an example, and the workout distance may vary depending on the settings. Alternatively, the electronic device (101) may determine the workout distance based on user input.

[0133] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can detect a movement path using GPS and automatically determine that it is a track movement in the absence of user input to the interfaces of figures 710, 720 and 730.

[0134] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can analyze the movement patterns of the electronic device (101) in the absence of user input to the interfaces of Figures 710, 720 and 730, and automatically determine the type of movement if the movement patterns are mapped to the motion of a specific movement.

[0135] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may determine that the user is exercising on a track if the user's location is detected as a track on a map. Alternatively, the electronic device (101) may display a notification asking whether the user is exercising on a track if the user's location is detected as a track on a map.

[0136] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may determine that the user is exercising on a 400 m track if the user repeatedly exercises on a curved section with a radius of curvature approaching approximately 36.5 m. Alternatively, the electronic device (101) may display a notification asking whether the user is exercising on a track if the user repeatedly exercises on a curved section with a radius of curvature approaching 36.5 m.

[0137] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may determine that distance compensation for a curved section is necessary if a curved section in the same direction along the exercise path is repeated more than a specified number of times (e.g., twice within 5 minutes or three times within 10 minutes). Alternatively, the electronic device (101) may display a notification asking whether the user is exercising on a track if a curved section in the same direction along the exercise path is repeated more than a specified number of times (e.g., twice within 5 minutes or three times within 10 minutes).

[0138] FIG. 7b illustrates a situation in which an electronic device according to one embodiment tracks a user's movement path.

[0139] The shaded portion in FIG. 7B may represent the user's movement path measured by the electronic device (101). The electronic device (101) may determine that a straight-line movement was observed for the first section (742). The electronic device (101) may also determine that a straight-line movement was observed for the second section (744). The electronic device (101) may determine that a combination of straight-line and curved movements was observed for the third section (746). In this case, the electronic device (101) may separate the straight-line and curved sections for the third section (746) and perform a correction for the movement distance by taking the curved section into consideration.

[0140] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may perform correction for curved sections existing in the user's movement path, regardless of whether the user is on a track. For example, the electronic device (101) may identify a curved section and determine that the corresponding curved section requires correction for the travel distance based on the size of the radius of curvature corresponding to the curved section, the length of the curved section, and / or the time taken to move the curved section. The standard for the radius of curvature requiring correction may include, for example, 36.5 m, and may vary depending on the setting. For example, the electronic device (101) may determine that correction for the travel distance is required if there is a curved section that exceeds a specified curvature and moves more than a specified distance.

[0141] According to one embodiment, if a path identified by combining one curved section or multiple curved sections in a user's movement path is close to a semicircle or a circle, the movement distance may be corrected using the pi and the distance from the center of the user's body to the wearing position of the electronic device (101) as described in FIG. 4. According to one embodiment, if a path identified by combining one curved section or multiple curved sections in a user's movement path is shorter than a semicircle considering the radius of curvature, the movement distance may also be corrected by calculating the length of the arc. For example, the electronic device (101) may obtain the angle between both endpoints of the curved section to obtain the length of the arc from the shape of the identified movement path.

[0142] According to one embodiment, even within the third section (746) determined to be a curved section, there may be a section in which the user runs in a straight line rather than a rotational movement. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may start correction at a point in time when a rotational movement is detected within the third section (746) determined to be a curved section. Additionally, the electronic device (101) may end correction at a point in time when it is determined that no rotation has occurred and that the user is moving in a straight line at a constant rate. The electronic device (101) may determine whether a rotation has occurred by using a sensor including a GPS and / or an inertial sensor. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may detect the current exercise path and determine whether it is a course on which the user has previously moved. If the exercise path detected at the current point in time overlaps with a course on which the user has previously moved by a certain portion or more, the electronic device (101) may load the record of the course on which the user has previously moved from a memory (e.g., the memory (130) of FIG. 1). The records for the course stored in the memory (130) may include information about the user's travel distance, straight-line distance, and curved section distance.

[0143] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may provide information on the current movement distance and speed. Furthermore, the electronic device (101) may also provide information on the movement distance and speed from records of previously traveled courses. The electronic device (101) may enhance usability by providing both the current exercise record and past exercise records for the same course. The electronic device (101) may compare the current exercise record with past exercise records for the same course, providing information on the difference between the two exercise records and / or whether the pace of the current exercise record is relatively good or bad.

[0144] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may determine that the first section (742) and the second section (744) are straight sections. The electronic device (101) may determine that the third section (746) is a curved section. Although the description herein assumes that there are three sections, the number of sections is not limited to this and may vary depending on the settings.

[0145] For example, the user's movement segments may include one or more curved movement segments moving in a clockwise direction and one or more curved movement segments moving in a counterclockwise direction. For example, if there are two clockwise curved movement segments and one counterclockwise curved movement segment that have moved a similar distance, the electronic device (101) may cancel out one clockwise curved movement segment and one counterclockwise curved movement segment and then apply distance compensation only to the remaining one clockwise curved movement segment.

[0146] FIGS. 8A and 8B illustrate examples of interfaces that display a user's exercise history and the user's physical condition on an electronic device.

[0147] In FIG. 8a, an electronic device (e.g., electronic device (101) of FIG. 1) can display exercise time, number of rotations, distance traveled, exercise pace, and heart rate.

[0148] In Figure 810, the electronic device (101) may display a first movement distance (812) measured by at least one of a GPS and an inertial sensor. In Figure 820, the electronic device (101) may display a second movement distance (822) considering a correction distance that varies depending on the user's body in a curved section. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may display a user interface corresponding to Figure 810 immediately after the user's activity ends, perform a correction considering the track movement or the curved section movement, and then change to a user interface corresponding to Figure 820 and display it. For example, the electronic device (101) may display a display (e.g., text, icon) (not shown) notifying that track movement has been detected and the distance has been corrected.

[0149] In FIG. 8B, the electronic device (101) can display the user's status based on the user's heart rate. In addition, the electronic device (101) can input or estimate the position (e.g., left hand or right hand) where the user wears the electronic device (101) and display it. The electronic device (101) can estimate the position where the user wears the electronic device (101) and display it, and then change the position where the user wears the electronic device (101) based on a user input. The electronic device (101) can also display the user's movement distance by adding or subtracting a correction distance when the position where the user wears the electronic device (101) changes. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can modify the display position of the electronic device (101) based on a user input (e.g., a drag input) regarding the wearing position (832). In Figure 830, the electronic device (101) displays the wearing position (832) as the right wrist, and based on user input (e.g., drag input), in Figure 840, the display can be modified to show that the electronic device (101) is worn on the left wrist.

[0150] In Figure 830, the electronic device (101) can display the wearing position (832) of the electronic device (101), the user's heart rate (834), and the exercise record (836). The electronic device (101) can display the user's body color differently when the user's heart rate (834) exceeds a specified level (e.g., 150). For example, the electronic device (101) can display the user's body color in a darker color when the user's heart rate (834) exceeds a specified level (e.g., 150). On the other hand, as in Figure 840, the electronic device (101) can display the user's body color in a fainter color when the user's heart rate (834) is below a specified level (e.g., 150). The user's body color is merely an example and may vary depending on the settings. The specified level for the user's heart rate is merely an example and may vary depending on the settings.

[0151] In FIG. 8B, the electronic device (101) may display a track on the display and display the user's shape on the track based on the determination that the user is performing track exercise (e.g., running). The electronic device (101) may display at least one of exercise time, number of rotations, exercise distance, corrected distance, or current exercise pace (speed). The target number of rotations may be determined by the user's settings. Alternatively, if the target distance is input while the shape of the track is determined, the electronic device (101) may calculate and display the number of rotations required to run the target distance. The electronic device (101) may determine a correction distance per rotation based on the user's body information, and may correct the exercise distance based on the correction distance per rotation and the currently measured number of rotations. For example, one rotation means one revolution around a track that includes a curved section and a straight section, and in cases other than track exercise, the correction distance may be calculated for each curved section rather than per rotation.

[0152] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can change and display the user's wearing position of the electronic device (101) on the interface based on a user input. For example, the electronic device (101) can display an image of the user wearing the electronic device (101) on the left hand on the interface based on a user input corresponding to the left hand. Conversely, the electronic device (101) can display an image of the user wearing the electronic device (101) on the right hand on the interface based on a user input corresponding to the right hand. The electronic device (101) can display an image of the user wearing the electronic device (101) to provide the user with information about the position in which the electronic device (101) is worn. In addition, the electronic device (101) can correct the incorrect wearing position of the electronic device (101) based on a user input. According to one embodiment, when a correction distance is provided based on a state in which the electronic device is worn on the left hand, if the user changes the wearing position on the interface to the right hand, the electronic device (101) can change and provide the correction distance based on a state in which the electronic device is worn on the right hand.

[0153] FIGS. 9A and 9B illustrate a situation in which an electronic device according to one embodiment compensates for a user's movement distance in a curved section.

[0154] In one embodiment, a straight section (902) may mean a section whose curvature is less than or equal to a specified value. A curved section (904) may mean a section whose curvature exceeds a specified value.

[0155] The first lane (910) may refer to a lane positioned relatively inside the track compared to the second lane (920). Conversely, the second lane (920) may refer to a lane positioned relatively outside the track compared to the first lane (910).

[0156] Considering the first lane (910) and the second lane (920), theoretically, there may be no difference in the travel distance in the straight section (902). On the other hand, in the curved section (904), the travel distance may differ by the difference in the radius. Here, the radius (r) may refer to the distance from the user with respect to the center (912). Alternatively, the radius may refer to the distance from the electronic device (101) with respect to the center (912). Therefore, the size of the radius may vary depending on the location of the user or the location of the electronic device (101). In addition, even when the location of the user is the same, the size of the radius may vary depending on the location of the body part (e.g., left hand or right hand) on which the electronic device (101) is worn.

[0157] In FIG. 9B, the curved section of the first lane (910) may be represented in the form of a circle (915) having a radius r. For example, the curved section of the second lane (920) may be represented in the form of a circle (925) having a radius r+1.22 (e.g., meter, m). Here, 1.22 (m) is a value representing the distance between lanes on a typical track, and this value may vary depending on the track.

[0158] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may receive information about a track registered at a location of the user on the map. The information about the track may include any one of the size of the track, the length of a straight section, the length of a curved section, or the distance between lanes. The electronic device (101) may determine the lane in which the user is exercising based on the distance traveled per lap of the track. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may determine a different correction distance for a curved section based on the lane in which the user is exercising. For example, if the user is determined to be exercising in the first lane (910), the length of the curved section may be relatively shorter compared to the second lane (920). In this case, the electronic device (101) may calculate that the total correction distance for the curved section is relatively small. The electronic device (101) may estimate the distance between two hands (or the distance between two arms) from the shoulder width. This is described in Table 3 of FIG. 6.

[0159] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can calculate the compensation distance per rotation (e.g., per lap of the track) using the value of pi and half of the distance between the two hands (or the distance between the two arms) in the curved section. Although the description is made here assuming a situation where the number of rotations is measured by assuming track movement, the compensation distance can be calculated based on the curvature and radius of the curved section even in cases other than track movement. Alternatively, the electronic device (101) can calculate the compensation distance per one curved movement section or per rotation using the input shoulder width without calculating the distance between the two hands.

[0160] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can identify that the user has moved around the track more than once. The user's movement path on the track can include a straight section (902) and a curved section (904). The electronic device (101) can determine the correction distance per one lap (one rotation) of the track as twice the value of the product of pi and the distance between the user's body center (e.g., the center on the actual movement path) and the wearing position (the path measurement position). For example, the electronic device (101) can obtain a second movement distance in which an error according to the carrying position of the electronic device (101) is corrected by adding or subtracting the correction distance per lap from the first movement distance measured by the electronic device (101) by considering the direction in which the user carries the electronic device (101) (e.g., the left or right hand) and the direction in which the user rotates the track.

[0161] In one embodiment, the number of rotations may be measured using GPS and / or inertial sensors. Alternatively, the electronic device (101) may determine the number of rotations by considering the user's travel distance when information regarding the length of the track is input in a situation where it is determined that the user is moving on a track. The total compensation distance may be determined by multiplying the compensation distance per rotation by the number of rotations.

[0162] For example, if a clockwise rotation is detected, the electronic device (101) may determine that the electronic device (101) is positioned on the left side of the user. In this case, the electronic device (101) may determine to subtract the total compensation distance from the measured movement distance. Conversely, if the electronic device (101) is positioned on the right side of the user, the electronic device (101) may determine to add the total compensation distance to the measured movement distance.

[0163] For example, if a counterclockwise rotation is detected, the electronic device (101) may determine that the electronic device (101) is positioned on the left side of the user. In this case, the electronic device (101) may determine to add the total compensation distance to the measured movement distance. Conversely, if the electronic device (101) is positioned on the right side of the user, the electronic device (101) may determine to subtract the total compensation distance from the measured movement distance.

[0164] Fig. 10 is a flowchart illustrating a method for compensating a movement distance of an electronic device according to one embodiment.

[0165] The operations described through FIG. 10 may be implemented based on instructions that may be stored in a computer recording medium or memory (e.g., memory (130) of FIG. 1). The illustrated method (1000) may be executed by an electronic device (e.g., electronic device (101) of FIG. 1) described above through FIGS. 1 to 9, and the technical features described above will be omitted below. The order of each operation of FIG. 10 may be changed, some operations may be omitted, and some operations may be performed simultaneously.

[0166] In operation 1010, the electronic device (101) may, under the control of a processor (e.g., processor (120) of FIG. 1), obtain first information related to whether the electronic device (101) is worn on the left or right side of the user's body. In addition, the electronic device (101) may obtain second information related to the user's physical condition.

[0167] In operation 1020, the electronic device (101) may determine at least one of the user's moving distance, rotation direction, or rotation number based on the GPS signal.

[0168] In operation 1030, the electronic device (101) can determine a correction distance per rotation based on the user's physical condition.

[0169] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may check information about either the user's shoulder width or the distance between his / her hands, and determine a correction distance per rotation using the user's shoulder width or the distance between his / her hands and pi. The electronic device (101) may calculate the correction distance per rotation using half of the distance between his / her hands (or the distance between his / her wrists, or the distance between his / her arms) (e.g., half of B in FIG. 4, B / 2). The correction distance per rotation may be (2 x ð x (B / 2)) for a track that includes two curved sections corresponding to semicircular arcs. The distance between his / her hands may be determined based on the user's shoulder width. Alternatively, the electronic device (101) may determine the distance between his / her hands based on the distance between the electronic devices when the user carries each of the electronic devices on both his / her left (e.g., left hand) and right (e.g., right hand) sides. A user may wear different types of wearable electronic devices (e.g., a smartwatch and a smart ring) on ​​each hand. These types of electronic devices are merely examples, and various types of electronic devices may be included.

[0170] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may determine a data set representing a shoulder width corresponding to the user's height and weight based on information about the user's country, race, and gender. The electronic device (101) may use the user's height and / or weight in the determined data set to determine the user's body length (e.g., the distance between the user's two hands or shoulder width for the corresponding exercise), and may determine a correction distance per rotation based on the user's body length.

[0171] In operation 1040, the electronic device (101) can perform a correction for the user's movement distance based on the first information, the second information, and the determined rotation direction.

[0172] In one embodiment, the number of rotations may be measured using at least one of GPS and / or an inertial sensor. Alternatively, the electronic device (101) may determine the number of rotations by considering the user's travel distance when information regarding the length of the track is input in a situation where it is determined that the user is moving on a track. The total correction distance may be determined by multiplying the number of rotations by the correction distance per rotation.

[0173] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can determine whether the electronic device is worn on the left or right wrist based on user input. If the user's rotation direction is confirmed to be clockwise, the electronic device (101) can calculate the actual movement distance by adding the total compensation distance when the electronic device is worn on the right wrist. If the electronic device is worn on the left wrist, the electronic device (101) can calculate the actual movement distance by subtracting the total compensation distance.

[0174] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can determine whether the electronic device is worn on the left wrist or the right wrist based on user input. In a situation where the user's rotation direction is confirmed to be counterclockwise, the electronic device (101) can calculate the actual movement distance by subtracting the total compensation distance if the electronic device is worn on the right wrist, and can calculate the actual movement distance by adding the total compensation distance if the electronic device is worn on the left wrist.

[0175] For example, if a clockwise rotation is detected, the electronic device (101) may determine that the electronic device (101) is positioned on the left side of the user. In this case, the electronic device (101) may determine to subtract the total compensation distance from the measured movement distance. Conversely, if the electronic device (101) is positioned on the right side of the user, the electronic device (101) may determine to add the total compensation distance to the measured movement distance.

[0176] For example, if a counterclockwise rotation is detected, the electronic device (101) may determine that the electronic device (101) is positioned on the left side of the user. In this case, the electronic device (101) may determine to add the total compensation distance to the measured movement distance. Conversely, if the electronic device (101) is positioned on the right side of the user, the electronic device (101) may determine to subtract the total compensation distance from the measured movement distance.

[0177] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may determine whether a location has previously performed the same activity based on GPS and exercise records stored in the memory, and may determine the location of a curved section of the location and the distance of the curved section based on the fact that the location has previously performed the same activity. The electronic device (101) may calculate the user's actual movement distance based on the number of at least one curved section and the user's movement direction. At least one curved section may include a curved section having a radius of curvature greater than a specified value among a plurality of curved sections included in the user's movement path.

[0178] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may determine the width of the user's shoulders or the distance between the user's hands based on the distance to the external device. Alternatively, the electronic device (101) may determine the distance from the user's center to the electronic device (101) based on the distance to the external device. The external device may refer to, for example, a smart ring or a smart watch worn on the user's body (e.g., left or right hand). The type of the external device is merely an example and is not limited thereto. The electronic device (101) may be a first type of electronic device (e.g., a smart watch) worn on the user's left hand. The electronic device (101) may detect a second type of electronic device (e.g., a smart ring) worn on the user's right hand. The electronic device (101) may identify the distance between the two electronic devices by using the signal strength measured between the two electronic devices, and determine the distance between the user's hands based on the identified distance.

[0179] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can use an inertial sensor to determine that the electronic device (101) (e.g., a smart ring) moves to the right and another wearable device (e.g., a smart watch) moves to the left when a plurality of external devices are in operation and come close to each other. For example, the electronic device (101) can estimate that the electronic device (101) is worn on the user's left hand and the other wearable device is worn on the user's right hand based on the information that the electronic device (101) has moved to the right and is close to the other wearable device. Here, the type and direction of movement of the external devices are merely examples and may vary depending on the settings.

[0180] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can collect exercise records using multiple electronic devices worn on each hand. The electronic device (101) can correct the user's movement distance value by calculating an average of the user's movement distance measured by one external device (e.g., a smart ring) and the user's movement distance measured by another external device (e.g., a smart watch).

[0181] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can detect a change in the user's position using a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and / or an inertial sensor. The electronic device (101) can determine the user's movement distance and movement direction based on the change in the user's position. GNSS may refer to a satellite-based positioning system. GNSS can receive signals from multiple satellites in Earth's orbit and calculate the exact position (e.g., latitude, longitude, and altitude) of the receiver. An inertial sensor may refer to a sensor that detects the motion state of an object. The inertial sensor may include, for example, an acceleration sensor that measures linear acceleration and a gyroscope that measures rotational acceleration.

[0182] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may compare the measured exercise record with the exercise record measured by the external device (101) and calculate an average value. The exercise record may include, for example, any one of an exercise path, the length of a curved section, or a traveled distance. The electronic device (101) may determine a correction distance for the curved section based on the average value.

[0183] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may determine a different compensation distance depending on the type of exercise. For example, if the electronic device (101) determines the compensation distance weight as 1 for track and field, it may determine the compensation distance as 0.5 for horse racing. In horse racing, the wrist position is relatively closer to the center of the body compared to track and field, so errors may be smaller when moving along a curved section. Therefore, the electronic device (101) may set the compensation distance weight to be relatively lower for horse racing compared to track and field. 0.5 is merely an example, and the specific value may vary depending on the setting.

[0184] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may determine a different degree of correction based on the sport. The length of the lane and the number of turns may vary depending on the sport. The electronic device (101) may determine a different correction distance depending on the sport. For example, the length of the lane may be standardized for each sport, such as 400 m for track and field and 1400 m for horse racing. Furthermore, since the running length is determined for each sport, the number of turns in the lane may also be preset. The lengths of the lanes and the sport described are merely examples and are not limited thereto. The electronic device (101) may preset the length of the lane and the number of turns for each sport and then reflect these settings when determining the correction distance.

[0185] Additionally, in short track, the wrist may move in the opposite direction of the body during the rotation. For example, in short track, when rotating counterclockwise, the left arm may support the ground and the right arm may point behind the back. In this case, if the electronic device (101) is worn on the right wrist, the electronic device (101) may be positioned at the center of the body or, rather, to the left of the center of the body. In track and field, if the electronic device (101) is positioned on the right wrist during a counterclockwise rotation, the compensation distance may be deducted. On the other hand, in short track, the electronic device (101) may be positioned on the left even during a counterclockwise rotation, so deducting the compensation distance may actually result in inaccurate distance measurements. Therefore, the electronic device (101) may set the compensation distance weight to 0 for short track. In other words, the electronic device (101) may not apply the compensation distance for short track.

[0186] Fig. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a method for compensating a movement distance of an electronic device according to one embodiment.

[0202] In operation 1114, the electronic device (101) may display the measured distance without compensation for the movement distance based on the fact that no rotational movement of the user is detected.

[0203] In one embodiment, the user's body may include a wrist or fingers. The separation distance may correspond to half the distance between the user's left wrist and right wrist, or half the distance between the user's left finger and right finger.
