[0021] FIGS. 12A and 12B illustrate perspective views of an electronic device according to an embodiment.

[0022] FIG. 13 illustrates an exploded perspective view of an exemplary electronic device according to one embodiment.

[0023] Figure 1 illustrates an example of an environment including a wearable device.

[0024] Referring to FIG. 1, an environment (130) may include a wearable device (100) and a user (120). The wearable device (100) may be used to provide a vibration notification to the user (120). For example, the wearable device (100) may detect an event that triggers the vibration notification. For example, the event may include one of an alarm, an incoming call, a reminder, and a notification that a message has been received. However, the event is not limited thereto. For example, the event may include the expiration of a timer.

[0025] The wearable device (100) can be worn by a user (120). The user (120) can wear the wearable device (100). For example, the wearable device (100) can be used to obtain biometric information of the user (120) and then provide the biometric information to the user (120). For example, the wearable device (100) can identify whether the user (120) is in an exercise state. For example, the wearable device (100) can obtain motion data regarding the movement of the wearable device (100) through one or more motion sensors (e.g., one or more motion sensors (210) of FIG. 2). For example, the wearable device (100) can identify whether the user (120) is in an exercise state using the motion data.

[0026] The wearable device (100) may provide a vibration notification via an actuator (e.g., actuator (209) of FIG. 2). For example, the wearable device (100) may control the actuator to provide the vibration notification. For example, the wearable device (100) may provide the vibration notification based on identifying an event that causes the vibration notification. If the wearable device (100) identifies the event while identifying that the user (120) is in an exercise state, the wearable device (100) may provide the vibration notification. For example, the user (120) may not recognize the vibration notification because he or she is in an exercise state. For example, the user (120) may miss an important notification by not recognizing the vibration notification. The wearable device (100) may be required to provide a vibration notification that the user (120) can recognize. For example, the wearable device (100) may control the actuator to provide a vibration notification during a time when the user (120) in an exercise state has relatively little movement. For example, the wearable device (100) may use the heart rate data of the user (120) to identify whether the user (120) is in an exercise state. For example, the wearable device (100) may use the heart rate data of the user (120) to identify a time when the user (120) has relatively little movement. For example, the wearable device (100) may use the heart rate data to change the period for providing a vibration notification from a first period (e.g., the first period (410) of FIG. 4) to a second period (e.g., the second period (430) of FIG. 4) using the heart rate data. For example, the second period may be set according to a time when the user (120) has relatively little movement. For example, the wearable device (100) can change the method of providing vibration notification using heart rate data from the first method to the second method.

[0027] For example, the wearable device (100) may include hardware components used to perform or execute the above operations. The hardware components are described and exemplified with reference to FIG. 2.

[0028] Figure 2 is a simplified block diagram of an exemplary wearable device.

[0029] Referring to FIG. 2, a wearable device (100) may include at least one processor (207), a communication circuit (205), a heart rate sensor (208), an actuator (209), one or more motion sensors (210), and a memory (206).

[0030] At least one processor (207) may include a hardware component for processing data using instructions stored in the memory (206). The hardware component for processing data may include a central processing unit (CPU) (e.g., including processing circuitry). The hardware component for processing data may include a neural processing unit (NPU) (e.g., including processing circuitry).

[0031] At least one processor (207) may include one or more cores. For example, at least one processor (207) may have a multi-core processor structure such as a dual core, a quad core, or a hexa core.

[0032] The memory (206) may include hardware components for storing data and / or instructions input to and / or output from at least one processor (207). The memory (206) may include, for example, volatile memory such as random-access memory (RAM) and / or non-volatile memory such as read-only memory (ROM). The volatile memory may include, for example, at least one of dynamic RAM (DRAM), static RAM (SRAM), cache RAM, and pseudo SRAM (PSRAM). The non-volatile memory may include, for example, at least one of programmable ROM (PROM), erasable PROM (EPROM), electrically erasable PROM (EEPROM), flash memory, hard disk, compact disc, and embedded multimedia card (EMMC).

[0033] The communication circuit (205) may include hardware components for supporting transmission and / or reception of signals between the wearable device (100) and an external electronic device. The communication circuit (205) may include, for example, at least one of a modem, an antenna, and an optical / electronic (O / E) converter. The communication circuit (205) may support transmission and / or reception of signals based on various types of protocols, such as Ethernet, a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), wireless fidelity (WiFi), Bluetooth, Bluetooth low energy (BLE), zigbee, long term evolution (LTE), and 5G new radio (NR).

[0034] The heart rate sensor (208) may be used to acquire or measure heart rate data of a user of the wearable device (100). For example, the heart rate sensor (208) may include a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor. For example, the heart rate sensor (208) may be used to change the frequency at which vibration notifications are provided. For example, the heart rate sensor (208) may be used to change the manner in which vibration notifications are provided.

[0035] The actuator (209) can be used to provide vibration. For example, the actuator (209) can convert electrical energy into kinetic energy. For example, the actuator (209) can provide vibration by being controlled by the wearable device (100). For example, the actuator (209) can generate vibration using electrical energy.

[0036] One or more motion sensors (210) may be used to obtain or measure motion data regarding the movement of the wearable device (100). For example, the one or more motion sensors (210) may include a gyro sensor. For example, the one or more motion sensors (210) may include an acceleration sensor. For example, the one or more motion sensors (210) may be used to identify whether the user (120) is in an exercise state using motion data. For example, the one or more motion sensors (210) may be used to obtain information regarding the movement of the wearable device (100). For example, the one or more motion sensors (210) may be used to obtain information regarding the rotation of the wearable device (100).

[0037] A heart rate sensor (208) may be used to acquire heart rate data. At least one processor (207) may identify an event that triggers a vibration notification. Based on the event, the at least one processor (207) may control the actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification in a first cycle (e.g., the first cycle (410) of FIG. 4) based on heart rate data lower than a threshold heart rate data. For example, based on the event, the at least one processor (207) may control the actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification in a second cycle (e.g., the second cycle (430) of FIG. 4) based on heart rate data higher than the threshold heart rate data. For example, the actuator (209) may be used to provide a vibration notification in the first cycle or the second cycle. For example, the actuator (209) may be used to provide a vibration notification in the first manner or the second manner.

[0038] FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary method for controlling an actuator to provide a vibration notification based on heart rate data. This method may be executed by the wearable device (100) illustrated in FIG. 2 or at least one processor (207) of the wearable device (100).

[0039] Referring to FIG. 3, in operation 310, at least one processor (207) may obtain heart rate data through a heart rate sensor (208). For example, at least one processor (207) may obtain heart rate data of a user (120) wearing a wearable device (100) through the heart rate sensor (208).

[0040] In operation 320, at least one processor (207) may detect an event that triggers a vibration notification. For example, at least one processor (207) may identify an event that triggers a vibration notification. For example, the event may include at least one of an incoming call, a incoming message, an appointment time arriving, and / or a heart rate data acquired through a heart rate sensor (208) exceeding a threshold heart rate data. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0041] At least one processor (207) may determine an electronic device to provide a vibration notification based on a priority. For example, at least one processor (207) may receive a first signal indicating that the first electronic device is worn by the user (120) from the first electronic device via the communication circuit (205). For example, the wearable device (100) may be connected to the first electronic device via a Bluetooth communication technique. For example, the wearable device (100) may be connected to the first electronic device via a WiFi (wireless fidelity) communication technique. For example, at least one processor (207) may determine a priority based on the wearing state of each of the first electronic device and the wearable device (100) based on receiving the first signal. For example, at least one processor (207) may identify the wearing state via a sensor. For example, the sensor may include a PPG sensor. For example, at least one processor (207) may acquire abnormal heart rate data while the wearable device (100) is worn on the user (120). For example, the abnormal heart rate data may be described as heart rate data that is much lower or much higher than the reference heart rate data. For example, at least one processor (207) may identify the wearing state of the wearable device (100) as an abnormal state based on the abnormal heart rate data. For example, the abnormal state may include a first state in which the wearable device (100) is worn abnormally. For example, the abnormal state may include a second state in which the function of the wearable device (100) is limited (or has a problem). For example, the first state may include a state in which the wearable device (100) is not fully worn on the user (120). For example, the first state may include a state in which data cannot be measured or acquired through a sensor.For example, the first state may include a state in which the wearable device (100) is improperly worn on a part of the body. For example, the first state may include a state in which the wearable device (100) is loosely worn on the body of the user (120). For example, the second state may include a state in which the connection with another electronic device is lost. For example, the second state may include a state in which the state of charge (SoC) of the battery of the wearable device (100) is below a threshold SoC.

[0042] For example, at least one processor (207) may determine a second electronic device to provide a vibration notification in a second cycle (e.g., the second cycle (430) of FIG. 4) among the first electronic device and the wearable device (100) based on the event and the priority. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, at least one processor (207) may determine a second electronic device to provide a vibration notification in a second cycle based on identifying that the state of the wearable device (100) is abnormal. For example, the second electronic device may include the first electronic device. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The second electronic device may include the wearable device (100). For example, the at least one processor (207) may transmit a second signal to the second electronic device through the communication circuit (205), which causes the second electronic device to provide a vibration notification in a second cycle. For example, the second electronic device may provide a vibration notification based on receiving a second signal via a communication circuit (not shown) of the second electronic device. For example, the second electronic device may control an actuator (not shown) of the second electronic device to provide a vibration notification at a second cycle based on receiving the second signal.

[0043] In operation 330, at least one processor (207) can identify whether the heart rate data acquired through the heart rate sensor (208) is higher than the threshold heart rate data. For example, at least one processor (207) can compare the magnitude of the heart rate data with the threshold heart rate data. At least one processor (207) can execute operation 335 under a condition that the heart rate data is lower than the threshold heart rate data, and can execute operation 340 under a condition that the heart rate data is higher than the threshold heart rate data. For example, at least one processor (207) can execute operation 335 under a condition that the heart rate data is equal to the threshold heart rate data. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, at least one processor (207) can execute operation 340 under a condition that the heart rate data is equal to the threshold heart rate data.

[0044] In operation 335, at least one processor (207) may control an actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification at a first cycle (e.g., the first cycle (410) of FIG. 4) based on the event and according to heart rate data lower than the threshold heart rate data. For example, the first cycle may be described as a cycle for providing a vibration notification independently of the heart rate data. For example, the first cycle may be referred to as a basic cycle or a general cycle. For example, the first cycle may be described as a preset time (e.g., 1 minute). For example, at least one processor (207) may control an actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification at a cycle independent of the heart rate data based on detecting an event. For example, at least one processor (207) may control an actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification every minute based on detecting an event. For example, the critical heart rate data may include first critical heart rate data and second critical heart rate data, but is not limited thereto. For example, the critical heart rate data may include third critical heart rate data. For example, the critical heart rate data may be determined based on the age and / or weight of the user (120). For example, the critical heart rate data may be personalized based on the age and / or weight of the user (120).

[0045] In operation 340, at least one processor (207) may control an actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification at a second cycle (e.g., the second cycle (430) of FIG. 4) based on the event and according to heart rate data higher than the threshold heart rate data. For example, the second cycle may be described as a cycle for providing a vibration notification dependent on the heart rate data. For example, the second cycle may be referred to as a heart rate cycle or a movement cycle. For example, the second cycle may be described as a time that changes depending on the heart rate data. For example, at least one processor (207) may control an actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification at a cycle dependent on the heart rate data based on detecting an event. For example, at least one processor (207) may control an actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification at a time when the user (120) identified by the heart rate data has little movement based on detecting an event. For example, the cycle for providing a vibration notification may be included in the method for providing a vibration notification. The first cycle and the second cycle are described and illustrated in more detail with reference to FIG. 4.

[0046] Figure 4 illustrates an example in which the second cycle is determined based on heart rate data.

[0047] Referring to FIG. 4, a section (401) may be described as a section in which at least one processor (207) provides a vibration notification in a first cycle (410). For example, the cycle may be described as an interval of time at which a vibration notification starts. For example, at least one processor (207) may control an actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification independently of the heart rate data of the user (120) in the section (401). For example, at least one processor (207) may control an actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification independently of whether the user (120) is in an exercise state in the section (401). For example, when providing a vibration notification, at least one processor (207) may provide the vibration notification for a time duration (420). For example, the time duration (420) may be described as a predetermined time. For example, since at least one processor (207) provides a vibration notification in the first cycle (410), at least one processor (207) may provide a vibration notification in the section (462). For example, the section (462) may be described as a section in which the user's (120's) movement is relatively large. For example, the section (462) may include a section in which the motion data acquired through one or more motion sensors (210) is outside a reference range. For example, the user (120) may not recognize the vibration notification of the at least one processor (207) in the section (462) because the user is in an exercise state. For example, since at least one processor (207) provides a vibration notification in the first cycle (410), at least a portion of the duration (420) may overlap with the section (464). For example, the section (464) may include a section in which the user's (120's) movement is relatively small. For example, the section (464) may include a section in which motion data acquired through one or more motion sensors (210) is within a reference range.For example, the user (120) may recognize the vibration notification of at least one processor (207) because the user (120) is not in an exercise state in section (464). For example, the likelihood that the user (120) will recognize the vibration notification provided in section (464) may be higher than the likelihood that the user (120) will recognize the vibration notification provided in section (462).

[0048] The section (403) may be described as a section in which at least one processor (207) provides a vibration notification in a second cycle (430). For example, the at least one processor (207) may determine the second cycle (430) using heart rate data. For example, the at least one processor (207) may determine the second cycle (430) using motion data acquired through one or more motion sensors (210). For example, the at least one processor (207) may identify a pattern of movement performed by the user (120) using the heart rate data and the motion data. For example, the pattern of movement may be described as a set of repeated movements while the user (120) performs the movement. For example, if the user (120) performs a movement that repeats a first movement and a second movement, the pattern of movement may include the first movement and the second movement. For example, when a user (120) runs, a motion of swinging the user's (120) arms and legs back and forth may be included in the movement pattern. For example, at least one processor (207) may analyze heart rate data and motion data to determine a second cycle (430). For example, at least one processor (207) may identify a pattern of movement performed by the user (120) using heart rate data and motion data acquired over a predetermined period of time, and then determine the second cycle (430) to correspond to the pattern. For example, at least one processor (207) may determine the start point of the second cycle (430) as a point in time when the movement relatively decreases in the movement pattern of the user (120). For example, at least one processor (207) may determine the end point of the second cycle (430) as a point in time when the movement relatively increases in the movement pattern of the user (120).For example, at least one processor (207) may determine a point in time when the movement of the user (120) relatively decreases and a point in time when the movement relatively increases using motion data and heart rate data. For example, at least one processor (207) may determine a cycle for providing a vibration notification in the cycle (403) as a second cycle (430-1) using the motion data and heart rate data acquired in the section (401). For example, when the user (120) runs, the second cycle (430-1) may be set according to the time during which both legs of the user (120) are in the air. For example, when the user (120) swims, the second cycle (430-1) may be set according to the time during which a part (e.g., a hand) of the user (120) wearing the wearable device (100) is out of the water. For example, the second cycle (430-1) can be set according to the course of the interval exercise when the interval exercise is performed by the user (120).

[0049] Section (405) can be described as a section in which heart rate data higher than the heart rate data of the user (120) obtained in section (403) is obtained. For example, at least one processor (207) can provide a vibration notification in the second cycle (430-2) based on the heart rate data and motion data obtained in section (403). For example, at least one processor (207) can obtain heart rate data higher than the heart rate data obtained in section (403) in section (405). At least one processor (207) can determine the intensity (450) of the vibration notification based on the heart rate data in section (405). For example, the intensity of the vibration notification provided by at least one processor (207) in section (403) can be stronger than the intensity of the vibration notification provided by at least one processor (207) in section (405). However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the intensity of the vibration notification provided by at least one processor (207) in section (403) may be weaker than the intensity of the vibration notification provided by at least one processor (207) in section (405).

[0050] At least one processor (207) can identify a motion of a user (120). For example, the at least one processor (207) can determine the intensity of a vibration notification based on the identified motion. For example, the at least one processor (207) can control the actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification with the intensity of the determined vibration notification. For example, the at least one processor (207) can obtain first motion data lower than a threshold motion data through one or more motion sensors (210). For example, the at least one processor (207) can obtain second motion data higher than the threshold motion data through one or more motion sensors (210). For example, the at least one processor (207) can identify a first motion corresponding to the first motion data among the motions performed by the user (120). For example, the at least one processor (207) can identify a second motion corresponding to the second motion among the motions performed by the user (120). For example, at least one processor (207) may control the actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification with a second intensity higher than the first intensity of the vibration notification provided based on identifying the first motion, based on identifying the second motion. For example, the first motion may be described as a motion with a relatively small movement among motions for exercise performed by the user (120). For example, the second motion may be described as a motion with a relatively large movement among motions for exercise performed by the user (120). For example, since the second motion is a more intense motion than the first motion, the second motion data corresponding to the second motion may be higher than the first motion data corresponding to the first motion. For example, the at least one processor (207) may identify the first motion and the second motion based on whether the amount of change in heart rate data for a predetermined period of time (e.g., 1 minute) is within a reference range.For example, at least one processor (207) may determine the reference range using heart rate data and motion data. For example, when the user (120) walks, the reference range for walking may be different from the reference range for running when the user (120) runs.

[0051] Section (407) can be described as a section in which heart rate data higher than the heart rate data of the user (120) obtained in section (405) is obtained. For example, at least one processor (207) can provide a vibration notification in the second cycle (430-3) based on the heart rate data and motion data obtained in section (405). For example, at least one processor (207) can obtain heart rate data higher than the heart rate data obtained in section (403) in section (407). For example, at least one processor (207) can provide an interval (440) during the duration of the vibration notification in section (407). For example, at least one processor (207) can change the method of providing the vibration notification. For example, at least one processor (207) can cause the user (120) to recognize the vibration notification by using the interval (440).

[0052] The section (409) may be described as a section in which lower heart rate data is obtained than the heart rate data of the user (120) obtained in the section (407). For example, the section (409) may be described as a section in which the movement of the user (120) is relatively less than the movement of the user (120) in the section (407). At least one processor (207) may determine a second cycle (430) for providing a vibration notification using the motion data and heart rate data obtained in the section (409). For example, at least one processor (207) may control the actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification at the determined second cycle (430). For example, at least one processor (207) may determine the intensity (450) of the vibration notification in the section (409) using the motion data and heart rate data.

[0053] At least one processor (207) may determine the second cycle (430) using motion data before providing a vibration notification. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, while acquiring motion data and heart rate data, the at least one processor (207) may identify a state of relatively little movement among the states of the user (120). For example, based on the identification of a state of relatively little movement among the states of the user (120), the at least one processor (207) may control the actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification to the state. For example, the at least one processor (207) may identify a state of relatively little movement of the user (120) using motion data or heart rate data. For example, the at least one processor (207) may determine a time point corresponding to a state of relatively little movement of the user (120) as a starting point for providing a vibration notification. For example, at least one processor (207) may determine a point in time corresponding to a state in which the user's (120's) movement begins to relatively increase as an ending point for providing a vibration notification. For example, while identifying that the user's (120's) movement is relatively small, the at least one processor (207) may control the actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification in real time based on identifying that the user's (120's) movement is relatively small. For example, if the at least one processor (207) identifies that the user's (120's) movement is relatively small, the at least one processor (207) may provide a vibration notification in a second cycle (430). For example, if the at least one processor (207) identifies that the user's (120's) movement is relatively small, the at least one processor (207) may provide a vibration notification in a second manner. For example, the at least one processor (207) may control the actuator (209) to control the vibration notification from a starting point to an ending point.For example, at least one processor (207) may determine a duration (420) for which the user's (120) movement remains relatively low.

[0054] At least one processor (207) can use motion data to identify a type of movement performed by a user (120) of the wearable device (100). At least one processor (207) can use the identified type and type data to determine a second cycle (430). The types of movement are described and exemplified in more detail with reference to FIG. 5.

[0055] Figure 5 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary method in which a second cycle is determined according to the type of exercise.

[0056] Referring to FIG. 5, at operation 510, at least one processor (207) may receive user input for selecting a type of exercise to be performed by a user (120) of the wearable device (100). For example, the type of exercise may be referred to as a type of exercise. For example, the type of exercise may include, but is not limited to, walking, running, elliptical, rowing machine, swimming, cycling, etc.

[0057] In operation 520, at least one processor (207) may identify a type of exercise in response to a user input. For example, based on a user input selecting walking, at least one processor (207) may identify that the type of exercise performed by the user (120) is walking.

[0058] In operation 530, at least one processor (207) may determine a second cycle (430) using type data for the identified type. For example, the type data may be described as data for each exercise. For example, the type data may include heart rate data or motion data for walking. For example, the type data may include heart rate data or motion data for running. For example, the type data may include heart rate data and motion data for swimming. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the type data may include heart rate data or motion data for cycling. For example, at least one processor (207) may identify a pattern of exercise performed by the user (120) using the type data. For example, information about the pattern of exercise may include information about when the user (120) moves relatively more and when the user (120) moves relatively less. For example, at least one processor (207) can identify the pattern of the movement by comparing motion data acquired through one or more motion sensors (210) and heart rate data acquired through a heart rate sensor (208). At least one processor (207) can determine the second cycle (430) by identifying the pattern.

[0059] At least one processor (207) may determine the second cycle (430) using type data based on a user input selecting a type of exercise. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the at least one processor (207) may determine the second cycle (430) by identifying a pattern of exercise of the user (120) using motion data and heart rate data. For example, the at least one processor (207) may obtain motion data of the wearable device (100) through one or more motion sensors (210). For example, the at least one processor (207) may use the motion data to identify a type of exercise performed by the user (120) of the wearable device (100). For example, the at least one processor (207) may use the motion data to identify whether the user (120) is walking. For example, the at least one processor (207) may use the motion data to identify whether the user (120) is running. For example, at least one processor (207) may use motion data to identify whether swimming is being performed. For example, at least one processor (207) may determine a second cycle (430) based on the identified type. The determination of the second cycle (430) is described and illustrated in more detail with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.

[0060] Figures 6 and 7 illustrate examples in which the second cycle is determined according to the type of exercise.

[0061] Referring to FIG. 6, states (602) to (618) may be described as states in which a user (120) wearing a wearable device (100) is running. For example, states (602) to (618) may be described as states expressing the user's (120) movements over time. For example, while the user (120) is running, the user (120) may change states over time. The state of the user (120) may express a change in the user's (120) posture over time. For example, the user's (120) posture may change from a first posture to a second posture over time. At least one processor (207) may acquire motion data through one or more motion sensors (210) while the state of the user (120) is changing. For example, at least one processor (207) may obtain heart rate data via the heart rate sensor (208) while the state of the user (120) changes. For example, at least one processor (207) may determine a timing to provide a vibration notification to the user (120) using the motion data and the heart rate data. For example, at least one processor (207) may determine a cycle to provide a vibration notification using the motion data and the heart rate data. For example, at least one processor (207) may control the actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification at a second cycle (430) by analyzing the posture of the user (120) using the motion data and the heart rate data.

[0062] For example, at least one processor (207) may refrain from or skip providing a vibration notification when the state of the user (120) is state (602), state (604), state (606), state (608), and state (610). For example, the user (120) may be unable to recognize a vibration notification provided by the wearable device (100) when the state of the user (120) is state (602), state (604), state (606), state (608), and state (610). For example, when the state of the user (120) is state (602), state (604), state (606), state (608), and state (610), the user (120) may be unable to recognize a vibration notification provided by the wearable device (100) because one of the user's (120's) feet is pushing off the ground.

[0063] For example, at least one processor (207) may control the actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification when the state of the user (120) is state (612) and state (614). For example, the user (120) may recognize the vibration notification provided by the wearable device (100) when the state of the user (120) is state (612) and state (614). For example, when the state of the user (120) is state (612) and state (614), the user (120) may recognize the vibration notification provided by the wearable device (100) because both feet of the user (120) are in the air. For example, while the user (120) is running, the time during which the state (612) and state (614) are maintained may be 1 second. For example, while the user (120) is running, the time that the states (602), (604), (606), (608), and (610) are maintained may be 1 second. For example, at least one processor (207) may control the actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification every 2 seconds. For example, the second period (430) may be set to 2 seconds. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. At least one processor (207) may provide a vibration notification while the states of the user (120) are the states (602), (604), (606), (608), and (610).

[0064] For example, at least one processor (207) may control the actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification at a timing perceptible to the user (120) while the user (120) is running. For example, the at least one processor (207) may determine a timing to provide the vibration notification based on a type of exercise performed by the user (120). For example, the at least one processor (207) may determine the second cycle (430) based on a type of exercise performed by the user (120). For example, the at least one processor (207) may determine the second cycle (430) based on a type of exercise determined using motion data.

[0065] Referring to FIG. 7, state (710) may be described as a state in which a user (120) wearing a wearable device (100) performs strength training. For example, state (710) may be described as a state in which the user's (120) muscles are relaxed while the user performs strength training. For example, state (720) may be described as a state in which the user's (120) muscles are contracted while the user performs strength training. For example, while the user (120) performs strength training, the user's (120) states may be repeated between state (710) and state (720).

[0066] At least one processor (207) may determine a timing for providing a vibration notification to provide a vibration notification that can be recognized by the user (120). For example, at least one processor (207) may determine a second cycle (430) to provide a vibration notification at the timing. For example, when the state of the user (120) is between the state (710) and the state (720), the user (120) may not be able to recognize the vibration notification provided by the wearable device (100). For example, when the user (120) moves significantly, the user (120) may not be able to recognize the vibration notification. For example, when the user (120) is concentrating on exercising, the user (120) may not be able to recognize the vibration notification. For example, the wearable device (100) may be required to provide a vibration notification in state (710) or state (720) to notify the user (120) of the vibration notification.

[0067] At least one processor (207) can determine the second period (430) by measuring the time it takes to reach a state (710) from a state (720) and then return from a state (720) to a state (710). For example, if the time is 4 seconds, the at least one processor (207) can determine 4 seconds as the second period (430). For example, the at least one processor (207) can control the actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification every 4 seconds.

[0068] The wearable device (100) may further include a microphone (not shown). For example, at least one processor (207) may identify the breathing of the user (120) through the microphone. For example, at least one processor (207) may identify the inhalation and exhalation of the user (120) through the microphone. For example, at least one processor (207) may control the actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification based on identifying the inhalation of the user (120). For example, at least one processor (207) may control the actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification based on identifying the exhalation of the user (120). For example, while the user (120) performs strength training, the breathing of the user (120) may be related to the movement of the user (120). For example, while the user (120) is inhaling, the state of the user (120) may include a state of minimal movement. For example, while the user (120) is exhaling, the state of the user (120) may include a state of minimal movement. For example, at least one processor (207) may provide a vibration notification in a second manner based on identifying the inhalation of the user (120).

[0069] For example, at least one processor (207) may control an actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification in one of states (710) and (720). However, this is not limited thereto. At least one processor (207) may control an actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification in one of states (710) and (720).

[0070] At least one processor (207) may control an actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification for a duration (420). For example, at least one processor (207) may provide a vibration notification according to a pattern of vibration notification for the duration (420). The pattern of vibration is described and exemplified in more detail with reference to FIG. 8.

[0071] Figure 8 illustrates an example in which the pattern of vibration changes within the duration of the vibration notification.

[0072] Referring to FIG. 8, at least one processor (207) may provide a vibration notification in a predetermined vibration notification pattern. For example, the vibration notification pattern may be referred to as a vibration pattern, a vibration notification pattern, or a vibration pattern. For example, the vibration notification pattern may be described in terms of the manner in which vibrations are provided by the actuator (209) within a duration (420). For example, the vibration notification pattern may be determined based on the temporary interruption of the vibration notification within the duration (420) during which the vibration notification is provided. For example, the vibration notification pattern may be determined based on the time during which the vibration notification is temporarily interrupted within the duration (420). However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the vibration notification pattern may be determined based on a change in the intensity (450) of the vibration notification. For example, the intensity (450) of the vibration notification may change during the duration (420). For example, the intensity (450) of a vibration notification can become stronger or weaker over the duration (420).

[0073] For example, state (810) may be described as a state in which a vibration notification is maintained for a duration (420). For example, state (820) may be described as a state in which the vibration notification is interrupted once during the duration (420) and then the provision of the vibration notification is resumed. For example, state (830) may be described as a state in which the vibration notification is interrupted twice during the duration (420) and then the provision of the vibration notification is resumed.

[0074] At least one processor (207) may determine a pattern of vibration notification based on the type of exercise identified. For example, at least one processor (207) may provide a vibration notification in the pattern of vibration notification of state (810) while the user (120) is running. For example, at least one processor (207) may provide a vibration notification in the pattern of vibration notification of state (830) while the user (120) is swimming. Since at least one processor (207) provides a vibration notification in the pattern of vibration notification corresponding to the type of exercise, the user (120) can effectively recognize the vibration notification.

[0075] At least one processor (207) can use motion data to identify whether a user (120) of the wearable device (100) is in an exercise state. The at least one processor (207) can control an actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification in a second manner different from the first manner based on whether the user (120) is in an exercise state. Identifying whether the user (120) is in an exercise state and the second manner are described and exemplified in more detail with reference to FIG. 9.

[0076] FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary method for controlling an actuator to provide a vibration notification depending on whether it is in an exercise state.

[0077] Referring to FIG. 9, in operation 910, at least one processor (207) may obtain heart rate data via a heart rate sensor (208). For example, operation 910 may correspond to operation 310.

[0078] In operation 920, at least one processor (207) may identify whether a user (120) of the wearable device (100) is in an exercise state through one or more motion sensors (210). For example, at least one processor (207) may identify whether the user (120) is in an exercise state using motion data and heart rate data acquired through one or more motion sensors (210). For example, at least one processor (207) may acquire motion data based on actions performed by the user (120) through one or more motion sensors (210).

[0079] At operation 930, at least one processor (207) may detect an event that causes a vibration notification. For example, operation 930 may correspond to operation 320.

[0080] At operation 940, at least one processor (207) can execute operation 950 on the condition that the user (120) is in an exercise state, and can execute operation 945 on the condition that the user (120) is not in an exercise state.

[0081] In operation 945, at least one processor (207) may control the actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification in a first manner independent of heart rate data higher than the threshold heart rate data based on an event detected while identifying that the user (120) is not in an exercise state. For example, the at least one processor (207) may provide the vibration notification in the first manner by identifying that the user (120) is not in an exercise state. For example, the first manner may be described as providing the vibration notification independently of whether the user (120) is in an exercise state. For example, when the at least one processor (207) provides the vibration notification in the first manner, the cycle for providing the vibration notification may include the first cycle (410).

[0082] At operation 950, at least one processor (207) may control the actuator (209) to provide a vibration notification in a second manner based on a heart rate data higher than the threshold heart rate data, based on an event detected while identifying that the user (120) is in an exercise state. For example, the at least one processor (207) may provide a vibration notification in the second manner by identifying that the user (120) is in an exercise state. For example, the second manner may be described as a manner in which the at least one processor (207) provides a vibration notification in a different manner than the first manner based on identifying that the user (120) is in an exercise state. For example, the second manner may be described as a manner in which the at least one processor (207) identifies a first action corresponding to motion data lower than the threshold motion data and a second action corresponding to motion data higher than the threshold motion data among actions performed by the user (120), and then provides a vibration notification differently for each of the first action and the second action. For example, the method of providing a vibration notification may include a cycle for providing the vibration notification. For example, if at least one processor (207) provides a vibration notification in a second manner, the cycle for providing the vibration notification may include a second cycle (430). The process for providing the vibration notification is described and illustrated in more detail with reference to FIGS. 10A and 10B.

[0083] FIGS. 10A and 10B are flowcharts illustrating an exemplary method for providing a vibration notification.

[0084] Referring to FIG. 10A, in operation 1010, at least one processor (207) may identify that a user (120) is wearing a wearable device (100). For example, at least one processor (207) may identify whether a user (120) is wearing a wearable device (100) through a PPG sensor.

[0085] In operation 1020, at least one processor (207) may obtain motion data via one or more motion sensors (210). For example, the motion data may be used to indicate movement of the wearable device (100).

[0086] In operation 1030, at least one processor (207) can execute operation 1032 on the condition that the type of exercise performed by the user (120) can be identified, and can execute operation 1034 on the condition that the type of exercise performed by the user (120) cannot be identified. For example, the at least one processor (207) can identify the type of exercise performed by the user (120) using motion data. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The at least one processor (207) can identify the type of exercise based on receiving a user input for selecting the type of exercise.

[0087] In operation 1032, at least one processor (207) may obtain intensity, cadence, and stroke of a movement performed by the user (120) using the type data. For example, cadence may be described as the number of repeated movements over a predetermined period of time. For example, strokes may be referred to as stroke data. For example, stroke data may be described as data obtained through one or more motion sensors (210) while performing a movement. For example, at least one processor (207) may identify a movement of the user (120) corresponding to the motion data by comparing the motion data with the type data. For example, at least one processor (207) may identify a movement of the user (120) indicated by the motion data by analyzing the motion data and the type data.

[0088] In operation 1034, at least one processor (207) can identify the intensity of movement performed by the user (120) using motion data acquired through one or more motion sensors (210).

[0089] In operation 1040, at least one processor (207) may identify a section of low movement of the user (120). For example, the at least one processor (207) may use motion data to identify a first motion having a relatively low intensity of movement and a second motion having a relatively high intensity of movement of the user (120). For example, the at least one processor (207) may identify whether the motion data exceeds a threshold motion data. For example, the at least one processor (207) may identify a motion corresponding to motion data lower than the threshold motion data as a first motion. For example, the at least one processor (207) may identify a motion corresponding to motion data higher than the threshold motion data as a second motion.

[0090] In operation 1042, at least one processor (207) may determine a cycle of the vibration notification. For example, at least one processor (207) may determine the cycle of the vibration notification as a first cycle (410) based on heart rate data lower than a threshold heart rate data. For example, at least one processor (207) may determine the cycle of the vibration notification as a second cycle (430) based on heart rate data higher than the threshold heart rate data. For example, at least one processor (207) may determine a method for providing the vibration notification. For example, at least one processor (207) may determine a method for providing the vibration notification as one of a first method including a first cycle (410) and a second method including a second cycle (430). For example, at least one processor (207) may determine the method by identifying whether the user (120) is in an exercise state. For example, at least one processor (207) may determine the method based on heart rate data.

[0091] In operation 1044, at least one processor (207) may identify or detect an event that causes a vibration notification. For example, the event may include receiving a message or obtaining biometric information indicating an abnormal condition.

[0092] In operation 1050, at least one processor (207) may execute operation 1052 on the condition that the user (120) is in an exercise state, and execute operation 1080 on the condition that the user (120) is not in an exercise state. For example, at least one processor (207) may identify whether the user (120) is in an exercise state. For example, at least one processor (207) may identify whether the user (120) is in an exercise state using motion data.

[0093] In operation 1052, at least one processor (207) may determine the importance of a notification. For example, at least one processor (207) may identify the importance of a notification using information stored in the memory (206). For example, at least one processor (207) may determine the importance of a notification based on a predetermined importance. For example, at least one processor (207) may determine the importance of a notification based on receipt of a user input that determines the importance of a notification. For example, in the case of a call received from an external electronic device corresponding to a phone number stored in the memory (206), at least one processor (207) may determine the importance of a notification regarding the reception of the call to be high.
