[0032] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail with reference to the drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily practice them. However, the present disclosure may be embodied in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. In relation to the description of the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals may be used for identical or similar components. Furthermore, in the drawings and related descriptions, descriptions of well-known functions and configurations may be omitted for clarity and brevity.

[0033] Hereinafter, an embodiment of this document may be described with reference to the attached drawings.

[0034] FIG. 1 is a drawing for explaining an overview of a wearable device worn on a user's body according to one embodiment.

[0035] Referring to FIG. 1, in one embodiment, the wearable device (100) may be a device worn on the body of a user (110) to assist the user (110) in walking, exercising, and / or working. In one embodiment, the wearable device (100) may be used to measure the physical abilities of the user (110) (e.g., walking ability, exercise ability, exercise posture). In the embodiments, the term 'wearable device' may be replaced with 'wearable robot', 'walking aid', or 'exercise aid'. The user (110) may be a person or an animal, but is not limited thereto. A wearable device (100) is worn on the body of a user (110) (e.g., lower body (legs, ankles, knees, etc.), upper body (torso, arms, wrists, etc.), or waist) and can apply an external force of assistance force and / or resistance force to the movement of the user's (110) body. Assistance force is a force applied in the same direction as the movement of the user's (110) body and represents a force that assists the movement of the user's (110) body. Resistance force is a force applied in the opposite direction to the movement of the user's (110) body and represents a force that hinders the movement of the user's (110) body. The term 'resistance force' may also be referred to as 'exercise load'.

[0036] In one embodiment, the wearable device (100) may operate in a walking assistance mode that assists the walking of a user (110). In the walking assistance mode, the wearable device (100) may assist the walking of the user (110) by applying an assisting force generated from the driving module (120) of the wearable device (100) to the body of the user (110). The wearable device (100) may enable independent walking of the user (110) or enable walking for a long time by assisting the force required for the walking of the user (110), thereby expanding the walking ability of the user (110). The wearable device (100) may also help improve the walking of a pedestrian whose walking habits or walking posture are abnormal.

[0037] In one embodiment, the wearable device (100) may operate in an exercise assistance mode to enhance the exercise effect of the user (110). In the exercise assistance mode, the wearable device (100) may hinder the movement of the user's (110) body or provide resistance to the movement of the user's (110) body by applying resistance force generated from the drive module (120) to the user's (110) body. If the wearable device (100) is a hip-type wearable device worn on the user's (110) waist (or pelvis) and legs (e.g., thighs), the wearable device (100) may provide an exercise load to the movement of the user's (110) legs while worn on the legs, thereby further enhancing the exercise effect on the user's (110) legs. In one embodiment, the wearable device (100) may apply an assisting force to the user's (110) body to assist the user's (110) exercise. For example, when a person with a disability or an elderly person wants to exercise by wearing a wearable device (100), the wearable device (100) may provide assistive force to help with physical movement during the exercise. In one embodiment, the wearable device (100) may provide assistive force and resistance in combination for exercise segments or time segments, such as providing assistive force in some exercise segments and providing resistance force in other exercise segments.

[0038] In one embodiment, the wearable device (100) may operate in a physical ability measurement mode to measure the physical ability of a user (110). The wearable device (100) may measure the movement information of the user (110) using sensors (e.g., angle sensor (125), inertial measurement unit (IMU) (135)) provided in the wearable device (100) while the user (110) is walking or exercising, and may evaluate the physical ability of the user (110) based on the measured movement information. For example, the walking indicator or exercise ability indicator (e.g., muscle strength, endurance, balance, exercise motion) of the user (110) may be estimated through the movement information of the user (110) measured by the wearable device (100). The physical ability measurement mode may include an exercise motion measurement mode for measuring the exercise motion of the user (110).

[0039] In various embodiments of the present disclosure, for convenience of explanation, a hip-type wearable device (100) as shown in FIG. 1 is described as an example, but is not limited thereto. As described above, the wearable device (100) may be worn on other body parts (e.g., upper arm, forearm, hand, calf, foot) other than the waist and legs (particularly the thigh), and the shape and configuration of the wearable device (100) may vary depending on the body part on which it is worn.

[0040] According to one embodiment, the wearable device (100) may include a support frame for supporting the body of the user (110) when the wearable device (100) is worn on the body of the user (110) (e.g., leg support frame (50, 55) and waist support frame (20) of FIG. 3), a sensor module for acquiring sensor data containing movement information regarding the body movements of the user (110) (e.g., leg movements, upper body movements) (e.g., sensor module (520) of FIG. 5a), a driving module (120) for generating torque applied to the legs of the user (110) (e.g., driving module (35, 45) of FIG. 3), and a control module (130) for controlling the wearable device (100) (e.g., control module (510) of FIG. 5a and FIG. 5b).

[0041] The sensor module may include an angle sensor (125) and an inertial measurement device (135). The angle sensor (125) may measure the rotation angle of the leg support frame of the wearable device (100) corresponding to the hip joint angle value of the user (110). The rotation angle of the leg support frame measured by the angle sensor (125) may be estimated to be the hip joint angle value (or leg angle value) of the user (110). The angle sensor (125) may include, for example, an encoder and / or a Hall sensor. In one embodiment, the angle sensor (125) may be located near the right hip joint and near the left hip joint of the user (110), respectively. The inertial measurement device (135) may include an acceleration sensor and / or an angular velocity sensor and may measure changes in acceleration and / or angular velocity according to the movement of the user (110). The inertial measuring device (135) can measure the upper body movement value of the user (110) corresponding to the movement value of the waist support frame (or base body (80) in FIG. 3) of the wearable device (100), for example. The movement value of the waist support frame measured by the inertial measuring device (135) can be estimated as the upper body movement value of the user (110).

[0042] In one embodiment, the control module (130) and the inertial measurement device (135) may be placed within the base body of the wearable device (100) (e.g., the base body (80) of FIG. 3). The base body may be positioned at the lumbar region (waist area) of the user (110) while the user (110) is wearing the wearable device (100). The base body may be formed or attached to the outside of the waist support frame of the wearable device (100). The base body may be mounted on the lumbar region of the user (110) to provide cushioning to the user's (110) waist and may support the user's (110) waist together with the waist support frame.

[0043] FIG. 2 is a drawing for illustrating an exercise management system including a wearable device and an electronic device according to one embodiment.

[0044] Referring to FIG. 2, the exercise management system (200) may include a wearable device (100) worn on a user's body, an electronic device (210), another wearable device (220), and a server (230). In one embodiment, at least one of these devices (e.g., another wearable device (220) or the server (230)) may be omitted from the exercise management system (200), or one or more other devices (e.g., a dedicated controller device for the wearable device (100)) may be added.

[0045] In one embodiment, the wearable device (100) can be worn on the user's body in a walking assistance mode to assist the user's movement. For example, the wearable device (100) can be worn on the user's leg to assist the user's walking by generating an assisting force to assist the user's leg movement.

[0046] In one embodiment, the wearable device (100) may apply to the user's body by generating a resistance force to hinder the user's body movement or an assistive force to assist the user's body movement in order to enhance the user's exercise effect in an exercise assist mode. In an exercise assist mode, the user may select an exercise program (e.g., squat, split lunge, dumbbell squat, lunge and knee up, stretching, etc.) and / or an exercise intensity applied to the wearable device (100) using the wearable device (100) through an electronic device (210). The wearable device (100) may control the driving module of the wearable device (100) according to the exercise program selected by the user and acquire sensor data including the user's movement information through a sensor module. The wearable device (100) may adjust the strength of the resistance force or assistive force applied to the user according to the exercise intensity selected by the user. For example, the wearable device (100) can control the drive module to generate resistance corresponding to the exercise intensity selected by the user.

[0047] In one embodiment, the wearable device (100) may be used to measure the user's physical ability in conjunction with the electronic device (210). The wearable device (100) may operate in a physical ability measurement mode, which is a mode for measuring the user's physical ability under the control of the electronic device (210), and may transmit sensor data acquired by the user's movement in the physical ability measurement mode to the electronic device (210). The electronic device (210) may estimate the user's physical ability by analyzing the sensor data received from the wearable device (100).

[0048] The electronic device (210) can communicate with the wearable device (100) and can remotely control the wearable device (100) or provide status information to the user regarding the state of the wearable device (100) (e.g., booting state, charging state, sensing state, error state). The electronic device (210) can receive sensor data acquired by the sensors of the wearable device (100) from the wearable device (100) and can estimate the user's physical ability or exercise results based on the received sensor data. In one embodiment, when a user wears the wearable device (100) and exercises, the wearable device (100) can acquire sensor data including user movement information using sensors and transmit the acquired sensor data to the electronic device (210). The electronic device (210) can extract the user's movement value from the sensor data and evaluate the user's exercise movement based on the extracted movement value. The electronic device (210) can provide the user with exercise motion measurement values ​​and exercise motion evaluation information regarding the user's exercise motion through a graphical user interface.

[0049] In one embodiment, the electronic device (210) may execute a program (e.g., an application) for controlling the wearable device (100), and the user may adjust the operation or setting values ​​of the wearable device (100) through the program (e.g., torque intensity output from a driving module (e.g., driving module (35, 45) of FIG. 3), volume of audio output from a sound output module (e.g., sound output module (550) of FIG. 5a and 5b), brightness of a lighting unit (e.g., lighting unit (85) of FIG. 3). The program executed on the electronic device (210) may provide a graphical user interface (GUI) for interaction with the user. The electronic device (210) may be a device of various forms. For example, the electronic device (210) may include a portable communication device (e.g., a smartphone), a computer device, an access point, a portable multimedia device, or a home appliance (e.g., a television, an audio device, a projector device), but is not limited to the aforementioned devices.

[0050] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (210) may be connected to a server (230) using short-range wireless communication or cellular communication. The server (230) may receive user profile information of a user using the wearable device (100) from the electronic device (210) and may store and manage the received user profile information. The user profile information may include information on at least one of, for example, name, age, gender, height, weight, or BMI (body mass index). The server (230) may receive exercise history information regarding exercises performed by the user from the electronic device (210) and may store and manage the received exercise history information. The server (230) may provide various exercise programs or physical ability measurement programs that may be provided to the user to the electronic device (210).

[0051] According to one embodiment, the wearable device (100) and / or the electronic device (210) may be connected to another wearable device (220). The other wearable device (220) may be, for example, a wireless earphone (222), a smartwatch (224), smart glasses (226), or a smart ring (228), but is not limited to the aforementioned devices. In one embodiment, the smartwatch (224) may measure a biosignal including a user's heart rate information and transmit the measured biosignal to the electronic device (210) and / or the wearable device (100). The electronic device (210) may estimate the user's heart rate information (e.g., current heart rate, maximum heart rate, average heart rate) based on the biosignal received from the smartwatch (224) and may provide the estimated heart rate information to the user. In one embodiment, the smart ring (226) can measure a biosignal including a user's heart rate information and transmit the measured biosignal to an electronic device (210) and / or a wearable device (100). The electronic device (210) can estimate the user's heart rate information (e.g., current heart rate, maximum heart rate, average heart rate) based on the biosignal received from the smart ring (228) and can provide the estimated heart rate information to the user.

[0052] In one embodiment, user exercise result information, physical ability information, and / or exercise motion evaluation information evaluated by the electronic device (210) may be transmitted to another wearable device (220) and provided to the user through the other wearable device (220). Status information of the wearable device (100) may also be transmitted to another wearable device (220) and provided to the user through the other wearable device (220). In one embodiment, the wearable device (100), the electronic device (210), and the other wearable device (220) may be connected to each other via wireless communication (e.g., Bluetooth communication, Wi-Fi communication).

[0053] In one embodiment, the wearable device (100) may provide (or output) feedback (e.g., visual feedback, auditory feedback, tactile feedback) corresponding to the state of the wearable device (100) according to a control signal received from the electronic device (210). For example, the wearable device (100) may provide visual feedback through a lighting unit (e.g., the lighting unit (85) of FIG. 3) and may provide auditory feedback through an acoustic output module (e.g., the acoustic output module (550) of FIG. 5a and FIG. 5b). The wearable device (100) may include a haptic module and may provide tactile feedback in the form of vibration to the user's body through the haptic module. The electronic device (210) may also provide (or output) feedback (e.g., visual feedback, auditory feedback, tactile feedback) corresponding to the state of the wearable device (100).

[0054] In one embodiment, the electronic device (210) may present a personalized exercise goal to the user in an exercise assistance mode. The personalized exercise goal may include an exercise volume target value for each type of exercise (e.g., strength training, balance training, aerobic training) that the user intends to perform, determined by the electronic device (210) and / or the server (230). When the server (230) determines the exercise volume target value, the server (230) may transmit information regarding the determined exercise volume target value to the electronic device (210). The electronic device (210) may present the exercise volume target values ​​for the types of strength training, aerobic training, and balance training in a personalized manner according to the exercise program (e.g., squat, split lunge, lunge and knee-up) and / or the user's physical characteristics (e.g., age, height, weight, BMI). The electronic device (210) may display a GUI screen on the display indicating the exercise volume target value for each type of exercise.

[0055] In one embodiment, the electronic device (210) and / or server (230) may include a database storing information on a plurality of exercise programs that can be provided to a user through a wearable device (100). To achieve the user's exercise goals, the electronic device (210) and / or server (230) may recommend an exercise program suitable for the user. The exercise goals may include, for example, at least one of improving muscle strength, improving muscular fitness, improving cardiovascular endurance, improving core stability, improving flexibility, or improving symmetry. The electronic device (210) and / or server (230) may store and manage the exercise programs performed by the user and the results of the exercise programs performed.

When power is supplied and the motor is driven, it may generate a force to assist the user's body movement (assistive force) or a force to hinder body movement (resistance force). In one embodiment, the control module may adjust the voltage and / or current supplied to the motor to control the strength and direction of the force generated by the motor.

[0065] In one embodiment, the first joint member and the second joint member each receive power from the first actuator and the second actuator, respectively, and can apply external force to the user's body based on the received power. The first joint member and the second joint member may each be positioned at a location corresponding to the user's joint. One side of the first joint member may be connected to the first actuator, and the other side may be connected to the first leg support frame (55).

[0118] According to one embodiment, the wearable device (100) can output a guide voice to induce a user wearing the wearable device (100) to perform one or more predetermined exercise movements in a second operating state.

[0119] For example, the wearable device (100) may induce a user to perform an exercise motion such as walking, running, or knee-ups, and one or more predetermined exercise motions induced in the second driving state are not limited to the present disclosure. The exercise motion induced in the second driving state may be the same as or different from the exercise motion induced in the first driving state.

[0120] The wearable device (100) can acquire second sensing information while the user performs one or more exercise movements while wearing the wearable device (100) in a second operating state. The second sensing information may include sensor data including movement information regarding the user's body movements acquired through sensors provided in the wearable device (100) in the second operating state.

[0121] The wearable device (100) can identify target registration information associated with a target user profile corresponding to the second sensing information among one or more previously stored user profiles. The target registration information may represent the registration information of a user currently wearing the wearable device (100).

[0122] The wearable device (100) may store one or more user profiles, including a user profile associated with the registration information of the aforementioned electronic device (310). The wearable device (100) may determine a target user profile corresponding to the second sensing information by comparing the second sensing information with the previously stored one or more user profiles. The wearable device (100) may determine a target user profile among the previously stored one or more user profiles in which the data value for each of the aforementioned evaluation indicators represented by the second sensing information falls within the value range for the corresponding evaluation indicator.

[0123] The wearable device (100) can identify target registration information associated with a target user profile. That is, the wearable device (100) can identify target registration information of a user currently wearing the wearable device (100).

[0124] In FIG. 8(c), the wearable device (100) may operate in a third operating state. The third operating state may represent a state for executing an exercise program. According to one embodiment, the wearable device (100) may execute a customized exercise program for a user wearing the wearable device (100) based on target registration information identified in the third operating state.

[0125] A wearable device (100) can store exercise data (e.g., exercise program executed, type of exercise, number of exercises, exercise intensity, or motion pattern) associated with pre-stored registration information (i.e., per user). For example, the wearable device (100) can execute an exercise program designated in the order following a previously executed exercise program by referring to exercise data stored associated with target registration information. The wearable device (100) can re-execute an exercise program that was previously abandoned by referring to exercise data stored associated with target registration information. The wearable device (100) can execute an exercise program according to the user's customized exercise intensity by referring to exercise data stored associated with target registration information.

[0126] A wearable device (100) can execute an exercise program based on age, gender, weight, or height corresponding to each of the previously stored registration information. For example, the wearable device (100) can execute an exercise program according to an appropriate exercise intensity and / or type of exercise based on the user's age, gender, weight, or height included in the target registration information.

[0127] The wearable device (100) may operate in a third operating state while a communication connection is not established with an electronic device in which a user profile is stored (e.g., electronic device (310), any electronic device (e.g., another wearable device (220) of FIG. 2), and / or an electronic device of a user other than the user of the electronic device (310).

[0128] The wearable device (100) can acquire third sensing information while the user performs one or more exercise movements according to an exercise program while wearing the wearable device (100) in a third operating state. The third sensing information may include sensor data including movement information regarding the user's body movements acquired through sensors provided in the wearable device (100) in the third operating state.

[0129] The wearable device (100) may store exercise data containing third sensing information in association with target registration information. The exercise data may include at least one of the third sensing information, an exercise program performed, an exercise type, an exercise date, or an exercise time.

[0130] In FIG. 8(d), the wearable device (100) can transmit exercise data stored in association with the target registration information to the target electronic device (320) based on the fact that a communication connection has been established with the target electronic device (320) corresponding to the target registration information (e.g., the electronic device (210) of FIG. 2, FIG. 6, and FIG. 7). The target electronic device (320) may be any electronic device in which the registration information is stored in the wearable device (100), such as the electronic device (310).

[0131] The wearable device (100) can register multiple users as described with reference to FIG. 8 (a). The wearable device (100) can store the user profiles of multiple users in association with corresponding registration information.

[0132] According to one embodiment, the wearable device (100) can store a user profile associated with registration information in a first operating state when registering a new electronic device for the first time.

[0133] According to one embodiment, the wearable device (100) can periodically update a user profile stored in association with registration information in a first operating state at a set interval (e.g., once a month). By periodically updating the user profile stored in the wearable device (100) with a new user profile, the accuracy of user identification can be improved.

[0134] According to one embodiment, the wearable device (100) can determine whether a user profile needs to be updated based on the user's exercise data. The wearable electronic device (100) can determine that a user profile needs to be updated if the value corresponding to the evaluation indicator of the user profile indicated by the exercise data deviates from the range of values ​​corresponding to the evaluation indicator of the previously stored user profile by more than a predetermined amount. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (310) can determine whether a user profile needs to be updated based on the user's exercise data. The wearable device (100) can increase the accuracy of user identification by updating the previously stored user profile through tracking the exercise data.

[0135] As described with reference to FIG. 8(b), the wearable device (100) can identify who the user wearing the wearable device (100) is by using sensing information (e.g., second sensing information) and a previously stored user profile in a state where the user cannot be identified through data communication because there is no external electronic device (e.g., electronic device (310), or target electronic device (320)) with a communication connection established.

[0136] The wearable device (100) stores exercise data for each identified user as described with reference to (c) of FIG. 8, and can transmit exercise data corresponding to the external electronic device (or registration information of the external electronic device) to an external electronic device with which a communication connection has been established as described with reference to (d) of FIG. 8.

[0211] According to one embodiment, the wearable device (100) can output a user approval request in the form of a haptic signal based on target registration information.

[0212] For example, the wearable device (100) may store different haptic signals for each of one or more previously stored registration information. The wearable device (100) may store haptic signals having different lengths and / or numbers (e.g., one long vibration, or two short vibrations) for each of one or more previously stored registration information. The wearable device (100) may output the stored haptic signals for the identified target registration information as a user approval request.

[0213] In operation 1420, according to one embodiment, the wearable device (100) may receive feedback in response to outputting a user approval request. In operation 1430, according to one embodiment, the wearable device (100) may determine whether the identification of target registration information was successful based on the feedback.

[0214] Referring to (a) of FIG. 14b, the feedback may be in the form of a motion (or sensor data obtained by the motion).

[0215] For example, when a user approval request voice such as "[If (User) A is correct, please continue walking.]" is output, the user wearing the wearable device (100) may continue or stop the walking exercise. The wearable device (100) can determine whether the identification of target registration information is successful based on whether the exercise action is continued, based on sensor data obtained through a sensor module (e.g., sensor module (520) of FIG. 5a).

[0216] Referring to (b) of Fig. 14b, the feedback may be in the form of an acoustic signal.

[0217] For example, the wearable device (100) can determine whether the identification of target registration information is successful based on receiving a user's sound signal such as [I am A.] or [I am B.].

[0218] Referring to (c) of FIG. 14b, the feedback may be in the form of an input signal to a hardware key of the wearable device (100).

[0219] According to one embodiment, a driving module of a wearable device (100) (e.g., driving module (120) of FIG. 1, first driving module (45) of FIG. 3, second driving module (35) of FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, driving module (530) of FIG. 5a and FIG. 5b, or driving module (530-1) of FIG. 5b) may be connected to an input module (e.g., input module (540) of FIG. 5a and FIG. 5b). For example, the driving module may be connected to a key (e.g., a button).

[0220] For example, the wearable device (100) may pre-store the success or failure of identification based on different key press counts. The wearable device (100) may pre-store, for example, the success of identification upon one press and the failure of identification upon two presses (the reverse is also possible).

[0221] For example, the wearable device (100) may pre-store to determine whether identification is successful based on different key press lengths. The wearable device (100) may pre-store, for example, to determine identification success upon a short press and identification failure upon a long press (the reverse is also possible).

[0222] Referring to (d) of Fig. 14b, the feedback may be in the form of a tapping signal.

[0223] According to one embodiment, the driving module of the wearable device (100) may include a touch sensor set to detect a touch on the driving module, and / or a pressure sensor set to measure the intensity of the force generated by the touch.

[0224] For example, the wearable device (100) may store in advance whether identification is successful based on different tapping counts. The wearable device (100) may store in advance, for example, that identification is successful when tapped once and identification is failed when tapped twice (the reverse is also possible).

[0225] For example, the wearable device (100) can store in advance whether identification is successful according to different tapping speeds.

[0226] According to one embodiment, operations 1410 to 1430 may be performed between operation 960, which identifies the target registration information of FIG. 9, and operation 1330, which executes an exercise program based on the target registration information of FIG. 13. If the identification of the target registration information is successful, the wearable device (100) may execute an exercise program in a third driving state based on the target registration information.

[0227] FIG. 15 is a flowchart of a method for identifying registration information based on different sets of evaluation indicators according to one example.

[0228] In the following embodiments, each operation may be performed sequentially, but is not necessarily performed sequentially. For example, the order of each operation may be changed, and at least two operations may be performed in parallel.

[0229] According to one embodiment, the following operations 1510 to 1550 may be understood to be performed by a processor of the wearable device (100) (e.g., the processor (512) of FIG. 5a and FIG. 5b).

[0230] According to one embodiment, operations 1510 to 1550 may be performed after operation 950, which acquires second sensing information in the second driving state of FIG. 9.

[0231] In operation 1510, according to one embodiment, the wearable device (100) can identify a first target registration information based on a value for a first set of evaluation indicators represented by second sensing information among one or more user profiles stored.

[0232] The first set of evaluation indicators may include one or more evaluation indicators. According to one embodiment, the first set of evaluation indicators may include one or more evaluation indicators evaluated based on sensing data of an inertial measurement device (e.g., the inertial measurement device (135) of FIG. 1). According to one embodiment, the first set of evaluation indicators may include one or more evaluation indicators evaluated by giving greater weight to the sensing data of the inertial measurement device among the sensing data of the inertial measurement device and the angle sensor (e.g., the angle sensor (125) of FIG. 1).

[0233] In operation 1520, according to one embodiment, the wearable device (100) may receive feedback in response to outputting a user approval request based on the first target registration information. In operation 1530, according to one embodiment, the wearable device (100) may determine whether the identification of the first target registration information was successful based on the feedback. Descriptions that overlap with the content described above with reference to FIG. 14a and FIG. 14b regarding the user approval request and feedback are omitted.

[0234] In operation 1540, according to one embodiment, if the identification of the first target registration information is successful, the wearable device (100) can execute an exercise program in a third driving state based on the first target registration information.

[0235] In operation 1550, according to one embodiment, if the identification of the first target registration information fails, the wearable device (100) may repeat operations 1510, 1520, and 1530 based on a second set of evaluation indicators. That is, the wearable device (100) may identify the second target registration information based on the value for the second set of evaluation indicators represented by the second sensing information. The wearable device (100) may receive feedback in response to outputting a user approval request based on the second target registration information. The wearable device (100) may determine whether the identification of the second target registration information was successful based on the feedback.

[0236] The second set of evaluation indicators may include one or more evaluation indicators. According to one embodiment, the second set of evaluation indicators may include one or more evaluation indicators evaluated based on the sensing data of the angle sensor. According to one embodiment, the second set of evaluation indicators may include one or more evaluation indicators evaluated by giving greater weight to the sensing data of the angle sensor among the sensing data of the inertial measurement unit and the angle sensor, respectively.

[0237] According to one embodiment, a driving module of a wearable device (100) (e.g., driving module (120) of FIG. 1, first driving module (45) of FIG. 3, second driving module (35) of FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, driving module (530) of FIG. 5a and FIG. 5b, or driving module (530-1) of FIG. 5b) may include a pressure sensor and / or force sensor configured to measure the intensity of a force generated by a user's movement. A second set of evaluation indicators may include one or more evaluation indicators evaluated based on sensing data from an angle sensor, a pressure sensor, and / or force sensor included in the driving module.

[0238] According to one embodiment, if the identification of target registration information based on a first set of evaluation indicators fails a predetermined number of times, the wearable device (100) may repeat operations 1510, 1520, and 1530 based on a second set of evaluation indicators.

[0239] FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating a method of transmitting motion data according to one example.

[0240] In operation 1610, according to one embodiment, the wearable device (100) can determine whether to establish a communication connection with any electronic device in which registration information is stored (e.g., the electronic device (210) of FIG. 2, FIG. 6, and FIG. 7, the electronic device (310) of FIG. 8, the electronic device (410) of FIG. 10, or the electronic device (420) of FIG. 11 and FIG. 12).

[0241] A wearable device (100) can establish a communication connection with any electronic device that has a pairing history, i.e., has registered information stored, when it comes within a specified distance of the electronic device. The wearable device (100) can automatically establish a communication connection with any electronic device that has registered information stored through a communication module (e.g., the communication module (516) of FIGS. 5A and 5B). For example, the wearable device (100) can establish a short-range wireless communication connection, such as Bluetooth communication, with any electronic device that has registered information stored.

[0242] In operation 1620, according to one embodiment, the wearable device (100) can transmit exercise data stored in association with the registration information of the electronic device (420) to the electronic device (420) based on the fact that a communication connection has been established with the electronic device (420).

[0243] Referring to the table (1600) in FIG. 16, the wearable device (100) can delete the exercise data after transmitting the exercise data stored in association with the registration information of the electronic device (420) to the electronic device (420).

[0244] For example, the wearable device (100) can identify target registration information associated with a target user profile among one or more user profiles stored, as described with reference to FIG. 9. Based on the target registration information, the wearable device (100) can execute an exercise program in a third operating state, acquire third sensing information in the third operating state, and store exercise data containing the third sensing information in association with the target registration information. The wearable device (100) can subsequently transmit the exercise data stored in association with the target registration information to the target electronic device based on the fact that a communication connection has been established with the target electronic device corresponding to the target registration information.

[0245] FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating a method of transmitting motion data according to one example.

[0246] A wearable device (100) can establish a communication connection with any electronic device that has a pairing history, i.e., has registered information stored (e.g., the electronic device (210) of FIG. 2, FIG. 6, and FIG. 7, the electronic device (310) of FIG. 8, the electronic device (410) of FIG. 10, or the electronic device (420) of FIG. 11, FIG. 12, and FIG. 16) when it comes within a specified distance. The wearable device (100) can automatically establish a communication connection with any electronic device that has registered information stored through a communication module (e.g., the communication module (516) of FIG. 5a and FIG. 5b). For example, the wearable device (100) can establish a short-range wireless communication connection, such as Bluetooth communication, with any electronic device that has registered information stored.

[0247] In FIG. 17 (a), according to one embodiment, the wearable device (100) can transmit exercise data stored in association with the registration information of the electronic device (420) to the electronic device (420) based on the fact that a communication connection has been established with the electronic device (420).

[0248] In FIG. 17(b), according to one embodiment, the wearable device (100) can receive a directional signal from the electronic device (420). Based on the directional signal satisfying a predetermined condition, the wearable device (100) can transmit exercise data stored in association with the registration information of the electronic device (420) to the electronic device (420).

[0249] The wearable device (100) may be configured to transmit exercise data to the electronic device (420) when the angle of arrival and / or angle of departure indicated by the directional signal received from the electronic device (420) is within a defined range. For example, the wearable device (100) may be configured to transmit exercise data to the electronic device (420) when the head of the electronic device (420) is directed toward the wearable device (100) within a defined angle range.

[0250] Referring to FIG. 17 (c) and (d), the screens (1710, 1720) are examples of screens displayed through the display of the electronic device (420).

[0251] On the screen (1710), the electronic device (420) can display information about exercise data stored in the wearable device (100) in association with the registration information of the electronic device (420) based on the fact that a communication connection has been established with the wearable device (100). The electronic device (420) can receive exercise data from the wearable device (100) based on user input to receive exercise data.

[0252] The wearable device (100) may transmit some of the exercise data to the electronic device (420) based on receiving a request to transmit some of the exercise data stored in association with the registration information of the electronic device (420).

[0253] On the screen (1720), the electronic device (420) can display information about exercise data received from the wearable device (100).

[0254] FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating a method of storing an updated user profile in association with registration information, according to one example.

[0255] As described with reference to FIGS. 16 and 17, the electronic device (420) can receive exercise data stored in association with the registration information of the electronic device (420) from the wearable device (100). The electronic device (420) can store the exercise data received from the wearable device (100).

[0256] In operation 1810, according to one embodiment, the electronic device (420) can generate an updated user profile.

[0257] The updated user profile may include a range of values ​​corresponding to each of one or more evaluation indicators, determined based on the average of sensing information satisfying a defined condition stored in the electronic device (420). The defined condition may include a quantitative (or, number) condition.

[0258] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (420) can generate an updated user profile based on the accumulated exercise data (or sensing information included in the exercise data) when exercise data is accumulated by a specified amount (or number of times). The updated user profile may include one or more evaluation indicators for identifying the user and an updated value range corresponding to each of the one or more evaluation indicators. The electronic device (420) can calculate the value range corresponding to each evaluation indicator by adding and subtracting a defined tolerance to the average of the values ​​for each evaluation indicator represented by the accumulated exercise data (or sensing information included in the exercise data).

[0259] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (420) can generate an updated user profile based on newly accumulated exercise data whenever exercise data is accumulated by a specified amount. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (420) can generate an updated user profile by adding and subtracting a defined tolerance to the weighted average of the values ​​for each evaluation indicator represented by the accumulated exercise data, by giving greater weight to the more recently stored exercise data.

[0260] For example, a target electronic device (e.g., electronic device (420)) may receive exercise data containing third sensing information obtained in a third operating state from a wearable device (100), as described with reference to FIG. 16. The target electronic device may generate an updated user profile based on at least the third sensing information (or exercise data containing the third sensing information). The updated user profile may include a value range corresponding to each of one or more evaluation indicators determined based on at least the third sensing information. The updated user profile may include a value range corresponding to each of one or more evaluation indicators determined based on the average of the sensing information satisfying a defined condition stored in the target electronic device.

[0261] In operation 1820, according to one embodiment, the electronic device (420) can transmit an updated user profile to the wearable device (100). The wearable device (100) can receive the updated user profile from the electronic device (420).

[0262] In operation 1830, according to one embodiment, the wearable device (100) can update (or replace) a user profile stored in association with the registration information of the electronic device (420) with an updated user profile.

[0263] Referring to the table (1800) in FIG. 18, the wearable device (100) can update the user profile stored in association with the registration information of the electronic device (420) to the updated user profile.

[0264] After operation 1830, the wearable device (100) can acquire second sensing information in a second operating state while any user is wearing the wearable device (100). The wearable device (100) can identify target registration information associated with a target profile corresponding to the second sensing information among the updated user profile and one or more other previously stored user profiles.

[0265] According to one embodiment, the wearable device may transmit third sensing information (or exercise data containing the third sensing information) acquired in a third operating state for a target electronic device identified in a second operating state to a server (e.g., server (230) of FIG. 2). The server may receive exercise data from the wearable device. The server may receive and store exercise data for different electronic devices (i.e., registration information) from the wearable device. According to one embodiment, the server may generate an updated user profile. When exercise data for a specific electronic device (e.g., target electronic device) has accumulated by a specified amount (or number of times), the server may generate an updated user profile based on the accumulated exercise data (or sensing information included in the exercise data). The server may transmit the updated user profile for the said electronic device to the wearable device. The wearable device may receive the updated user profile for the said electronic device from the server. The wearable device can update a user profile stored in association with the registration information of the electronic device to an updated user profile. The wearable device can then transmit the updated user profile to the electronic device based on establishing a communication connection with the electronic device.

Referring to the screen (2010), the wearable device (100) may store registration information and user profiles associated with the registration information for each of the multiple users (e.g., the user of the electronic device, the first user (2001), and the second user).

[0276] In the screen (2010), the electronic device may indicate that the first user (2001) is currently using the wearable device (100).

[0277] According to one embodiment, the electronic device can transmit a user's request for use of the electronic device to a wearable device (100) based on user input on a screen (2010).

[0278] According to one embodiment, if the wearable device (100) receives a request for use from an electronic device of a user other than the first user (2001) currently wearing the wearable device (100), it may output the request for use from the other user.

[0279] Referring to FIG. 20 (a), for example, the wearable device (100) can output a request for use from another user in the form of an acoustic signal. The wearable device (100) can output a voice such as "[Another user has sent a request to use the wearable device.]". The wearable device (100) can output music content, such as a pre-stored buzzer or melody, in response to the request for use from another user.

When the first user (2001) is wearing the wearable device (100) and exercising while possessing the electronic device of the first user (2001), that is, when the wearable device (100) and the electronic device of the first user (2001) have established a communication connection, the electronic device of the first user (2001) can receive a request for use.

[0282] Referring to Fig. 20 (b), for example, the electronic device of the first user (2001) can output information about another user's request for use in the form of a pop-up notification.

[0283] FIGS. 21a and FIGS. 21b are drawings illustrating a method of saving a user profile according to one example.

[0284] According to one embodiment, the screens (2110-2160) are examples of screens displayed through a display of an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (210) of FIG. 2, FIG. 6, and FIG. 7, the electronic device (310) of FIG. 8, the electronic device (410) of FIG. 10 and FIG. 19, or the electronic device (420) of FIG. 11, FIG. 12, and FIG. 16 to 19).

[0285] According to one embodiment, the screens (2110-2160) may be displayed when a user of the electronic device wears a wearable device (e.g., the wearable device (100) of FIGS. 1 to 4, FIGS. 6, FIGS. 8, FIGS. 10 to 13, FIGS. 14b, FIGS. 16 to 20) and the electronic device and the wearable device establish a communication connection.

[0286] According to one embodiment, the screens (2110-2160) may be displayed in a first operating state of the wearable device. The first operating state may be understood as a state in which the wearable device is paired with a new user's electronic device and a user profile is stored to identify the user.

[0287] On the screen (2110), the electronic device may display a plurality of exercise movements. The electronic device may receive user input through the screen (2110) for the user to select one or more exercise movements to take in a second driving state. The second driving state may represent a state for identifying a user wearing the wearable device (or user registration information). For example, the electronic device may receive user input selecting a 'knee-up' movement.

[0288] In the screen (2120), the electronic device may output a guide voice and / or screen to induce the user to perform one or more selected exercise movements. In a first operating state, the wearable device may acquire first sensing information while the user performs one or more selected exercise movements. The first sensing information may include sensor data including movement information regarding the user's body movements, acquired through sensors provided in the wearable device in the first operating state (e.g., the angle sensor (125) or inertial measurement unit (135) of FIG. 1, or the sensor module (520) of FIG. 5a). The wearable device may transmit the first sensing information to the electronic device.

[0289] The electronic device can receive first sensing information from a wearable device. The electronic device can generate a user profile based on the first sensing information.

[0290] In the screen (2130), according to one embodiment, the electronic device can receive user input regarding the number of times each exercise action is performed.

[0291] In the screen (2140), according to one embodiment, the electronic device can receive user input selecting an additional movement to be taken by the user in the second driving state.

[0292] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may receive additional sensing information acquired from a wearable device while the user performs additional exercise movements. The electronic device may generate a user profile based on the first sensing information and the additional sensing information.

[0293] Hereinafter, one or more exercise movements selected by the user (or one or more exercise movements including additional exercise movements) are referred to as an exercise movement set.

[0294] In the screen (2150), the electronic device may output a guide voice and / or screen to induce the user to perform a set of exercise movements again.

[0295] According to one embodiment, an electronic device may receive sensing information acquired from a wearable device while the user is performing a set of exercise movements. The electronic device may determine whether the received sensing information corresponds to a user profile, that is, whether a user profile generated based on the first sensing information (or the first sensing information and additional sensing information) may be stored for user identification. If the received sensing information corresponds to a user profile, the electronic device may store the user profile and transmit it to the wearable device. The wearable device may store the user profile in association with the electronic device's registration information.

[0296] According to one embodiment, an electronic device may transmit a set of exercise movements along with a user profile to a wearable device. The wearable device may store the set of exercise movements in association with the electronic device's registration information. The wearable device may acquire second sensing information while performing one or more exercise movements in a second operating state while not establishing a communication connection with any electronic device. Based on the second sensing information, the wearable device may determine whether a user wearing the wearable device performs an exercise movement corresponding to a previously stored set of exercise movements a predetermined number of times. If the second sensing information corresponds to a previously stored set of exercise movements, the wearable device may identify the registration information associated with that set of exercise movements as target registration information.

[0297] In the screen (2130), according to one embodiment, the electronic device may restrict the selection of a specific number of times for a specific movement included in another user's set of exercise movements when receiving user input regarding the number of times each exercise movement is performed. For example, if another user's set of exercise movements includes 'knee up' '1 time', the electronic device may restrict the user input selecting to perform 'knee up' 1 time.

[0298] According to one embodiment, the wearable device (100) comprises at least one processor (512) including processing circuitry; The wearable device (100) comprises a memory (514) including one or more storage media for storing instructions, and when the instructions are executed individually or collectively by at least one processor (512), the wearable device (100) is enabled to: receive registration information from a first electronic device (210, 310, 410) that has established a communication connection with the wearable device (100), acquire first sensing information in a first operating state, and in response to transmitting the first sensing information to the first electronic device (210, 310, 410), receive a user profile corresponding to the first sensing information from the first electronic device (210, 310, 410), store the user profile in association with the registration information of the first electronic device (210, 310, 410), and the first electronic device (210, 310, 410) and other electronic While a communication connection with the device (220, 420) is not established, the second sensing information can be acquired in the second operating state, and target registration information associated with a target user profile corresponding to the second sensing information can be identified among one or more user profiles stored previously.
