The wrist-worn electronic device (401) can receive a reflected ultra-wideband signal through the communication circuit (430). The wrist-wearing electronic device (401) can obtain information regarding the position information of the finger-wearing electronic device (402) and the angle (610) between the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) and the finger-wearing electronic device (402) by analyzing the transmitted ultra-wideband signal and the received ultra-wideband signal.

[0102] According to one embodiment, a wrist-worn electronic device (401) can obtain first distance information between the wrist-worn electronic device (401) and a finger-worn electronic device (402) using UWB communication technology. The wrist-worn electronic device (401) can obtain second distance information between the wrist-worn electronic device (401) and an external object (e.g., a part of a user's body) using UWB communication technology. The finger-worn electronic device (402) can obtain third distance information between the finger-worn electronic device (402) and an external object (e.g., a part of a user's body) using UWB communication technology. The finger-worn electronic device (402) can transmit the third distance information to the wrist-worn electronic device (401) through a communication circuit (e.g., a communication circuit (470)). The wrist-wearing electronic device (401) can obtain information regarding the angle (610) between the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) and the finger-wearing electronic device (402) based on first distance information, second distance information, and third distance information. For example, the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) may use triangulation.

[0103] A wrist-worn electronic device (401) can determine, based on information related to an angle (610), whether the angle (610) is included in one of a first angle range (611) and a second angle range (612) (i.e., whether the angle (610) is within the first angle range (611) or within the second angle range (612). The first angle range (611) and the second angle range (612) can be set by the user. In state (601), the wrist-worn electronic device (401) can determine that the angle (610) is included in the first angle range (611). In state (602), the wrist-worn electronic device (401) can determine that the angle (610) is included in the second angle range (612). The wrist-worn electronic device (401) can perceive the same user input information differently in state (601) and state (602). For example, a different method of recognizing user input information of a wrist-worn electronic device (401) will be described and illustrated with reference to FIG. 7.

[0104] FIG. 7 illustrates examples of operations of a wrist-worn electronic device (e.g., wrist-worn electronic device (401)) that displays a changed screen based on user input information according to one embodiment. 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.

[0105] Referring to FIG. 7, in operation 700, a wrist-wearing electronic device (401) (e.g., at least one processor (400)) can transmit a trigger signal to a finger-wearing electronic device (e.g., finger-wearing electronic device (402)) through a communication circuit (e.g., communication circuit (430)) based on displaying a first screen (e.g., screen (500)) through a display (e.g., display (420)).

[0106] According to one embodiment, the first screen may include a screen that can be changed (or switched) to another screen (e.g., at least part of screen (501), screen (502), screen (503), screen (504), screen (505), a second screen to be described later, and a third screen to be described later) depending on the fulfillment of a condition of the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) (e.g., reception of user input). For example, while displaying the first screen, the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) may change the screen displayed through the display (420) from the first screen to another screen based on receiving user input (e.g., input moving a contact point in one direction). In an example not limited to examples, the first screen may include a screen that can display a scroll animation (e.g., an animation of visual objects scrolling) depending on user input.

[0107] According to one embodiment, the trigger signal may be referred to as a signal for triggering the finger-wearing electronic device (402) to acquire user input information through a sensor (e.g., sensor (480)). For example, in response to receiving the trigger signal, the finger-wearing electronic device (402) may change the state of the finger-wearing electronic device (402) from a first state (or standby state) for low power consumption to a second state for acquiring user input information through the sensor (480). For example, the finger-wearing electronic device (402) may acquire user input information through the sensor (480) in the second state. For example, the finger-wearing electronic device (402) may transmit the acquired user input information to the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) through a communication circuit (e.g., communication circuit (470)).

[0108] According to one embodiment, the wrist-worn electronic device (401) may transmit a trigger signal to the finger-worn electronic device (402) via the communication circuit (430) based on the display (420) being activated. For example, the wrist-worn electronic device (401) may transmit a trigger signal to the finger-worn electronic device (402) via the communication circuit (430) based on being connected (e.g., wirelessly connected) to the finger-worn electronic device (402) while the display (420) is in an activated state. The activated state of the display (420) may be referred to as a state for displaying a screen (e.g., containing content) through the display (420). The activated state of the display (420) may be distinguished from an always-on-display (AOD) state. The activated state of the display (420) may be distinguished from a turn-off state. The active state of the display (420) can be distinguished from a standby state for low power consumption. The wrist-worn electronic device (401) can change the state of the display (420) from a standby state (or AOD state, or turn-off state) to an active state upon receiving a specified input (e.g., physical button input, touch input on the display (420), and / or wrist-raising gesture input).

[0109] According to another embodiment, the wrist-worn electronic device (401) can transmit a trigger signal to the finger-worn electronic device (402) via a communication circuit (430) based on determining that it is worn on an external object (e.g., the user's wrist).

[0110] In operation 701, a wrist-wearing electronic device (401) (e.g., at least one processor (400)) can obtain information regarding an angle (e.g., angle (610)) between the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) and the finger-wearing electronic device (402) based on sensor data obtained through a sensor (e.g., sensor (440)) while displaying a first screen (e.g., screen (500)) through a display (e.g., display (420)). The wrist-wearing electronic device (401) and the finger-wearing electronic device (402) can be wirelessly connected. The descriptions of FIG. 6 may be referenced for the operation in which the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) obtains information regarding an angle (e.g., angle (610)) between the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) and the finger-wearing electronic device (402) based on sensor data.

[0111] According to one embodiment, the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) can obtain information regarding an angle (e.g., angle (610)) between the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) and the finger-wearing electronic device (402) while displaying a first screen (e.g., screen (500)) through a display (e.g., display (420)). For example, the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) can display the first screen through the display (420) in response to receiving input for a designated button (e.g., home button, physical button). For example, the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) can identify a wake gesture input (e.g., a wrist-raising gesture) using sensor data obtained through a sensor (e.g., sensor (440)). The wrist-wearing electronic device (401) can display the first screen through the display (420) in response to identifying the wake gesture input.

[0112] According to one embodiment, the first screen may be distinguished from a screen that displays visual content for an always-on display (AOD). While the wrist-worn electronic device (401) displays the first screen, at least one processor (400) may be in a wake-up state.

[0113] In operation 703, a wrist-wearing electronic device (401) (e.g., at least one processor (400)) can determine, based on information regarding an angle (e.g., angle (610)) between the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) and the finger-wearing electronic device (402), whether the angle (610) is included in a first angle range (e.g., first angle range (611)) or a second angle range (e.g., second angle range (612)). The second angle range (612) may be distinguished from the first angle range (611).

[0114] In operation 705, a wrist-wearing electronic device (401) (e.g., at least one processor (400)) can receive user input information for the finger-wearing electronic device (402) from the finger-wearing electronic device (402) via a communication circuit (e.g., communication circuit (430)) in accordance with a determination that the angle (e.g., angle (610)) between the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) and the finger-wearing electronic device (402) falls within a first angle range (e.g., first angle range (611)). A wrist-worn electronic device (401) (e.g., at least one processor (400)) may display a second screen (e.g., screen (502), screen (504), screen (505)) through a display (e.g., display (420)) based on user input information, upon determining that the angle (e.g., angle (610)) between the wrist-worn electronic device (401) and the finger-worn electronic device (402) falls within a first angle range (e.g., first angle range (611)). For example, the second screen may be a screen modified from the first screen. For example, the wrist-worn electronic device (401) may determine that, in the state (601) of FIG. 6, the angle (e.g., angle (610)) between the wrist-worn electronic device (401) and the finger-worn electronic device (402) falls within a first angle range (e.g., first angle range (611)).

[0115] According to one embodiment, the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) may display a first scroll animation through a display (e.g., display (420)) in which the first screen moves along a first axis parallel to the strap (e.g., fastening member (250, 260)) of the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) while changing the first screen to a second screen. For example, the first scroll animation may include scrolling up and / or scrolling down of the first screen. For example, the speed of the first scroll animation may be set faster as the angle (e.g., angle (610)) between the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) and the finger-wearing electronic device (402) increases.

[0116] According to one embodiment, the finger-wearing electronic device (402) can transmit user input information for the finger-wearing electronic device (402) to the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) via a communication circuit (e.g., communication circuit (470)). The user input information for the finger-wearing electronic device (402) may include sensor data obtained through a sensor (e.g., sensor (480)) of the finger-wearing electronic device (402). For example, the sensor data may include scroll information obtained through a touch sensor. The scroll information may indicate the movement of the user's body (e.g., finger) in contact with the touch sensor. The scroll information may indicate the speed of the user's body in contact with the touch sensor, the direction of movement of the user's body in contact with the touch sensor, and / or the distance traveled by the user's body in contact with the touch sensor. For example, the sensor data may include gyroscope information obtained through an IMU sensor. The gyroscope information may include parameters related to the rotation of the finger-wearing electronic device (402). For example, gyro information may indicate the rotation angle of the finger-wearing electronic device (402), the angular velocity of the finger-wearing electronic device (402), and / or the rotation direction of the finger-wearing electronic device (402) (e.g., clockwise, counterclockwise).

[0117] In operation 707, a wrist-wearing electronic device (401) (e.g., at least one processor (400)) can receive user input information for the finger-wearing electronic device (402) from the finger-wearing electronic device (402) via a communication circuit (e.g., communication circuit (430)) in accordance with a determination that the angle (e.g., angle (610)) between the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) and the finger-wearing electronic device (402) falls within a second angle range (e.g., second angle range (612)). A wrist-worn electronic device (401) (e.g., at least one processor (400)) may display a third screen (e.g., screen (501), screen (503)) through a display (e.g., display (420)) based on user input information, upon determining that the angle (e.g., angle (610)) between the wrist-worn electronic device (401) and the finger-worn electronic device (402) falls within a second angle range (e.g., second angle range (612)). The third screen may be a screen that has been changed from the first screen. The third screen may be a screen that is distinct from the second screen. For example, the wrist-worn electronic device (401) may determine that, in the state (602) of FIG. 6, the angle (e.g., angle (610)) between the wrist-worn electronic device (401) and the finger-worn electronic device (402) falls within a second angle range (e.g., second angle range (612)).

[0118] According to one embodiment, the wrist-worn electronic device (401) may display a second scroll animation through a display (e.g., display (420)) in which the first screen moves along a second axis perpendicular to a first axis parallel to the strap of the wrist-worn electronic device (401) while changing the first screen to a third screen. For example, the second scroll animation may include scrolling left and / or scrolling right of the first screen. For example, the speed of the second scroll animation may be set faster as the angle (e.g., angle (610)) between the wrist-worn electronic device (401) and the finger-worn electronic device (402) increases.

[0119] According to one embodiment, the finger-wearing electronic device (402) can transmit user input information for the finger-wearing electronic device (402) to the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) via a communication circuit (e.g., communication circuit (470)). The user input information for the finger-wearing electronic device (402) may include sensor data obtained through a sensor (e.g., sensor (480)) of the finger-wearing electronic device (402). For the sensor data, descriptions of operation 705 may be referenced.

[0120] FIG. 8 illustrates an example of a wrist-wearing electronic device (401) that displays visual objects depending on whether the angle (e.g., angle (610)) between the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) and the finger-wearing electronic device (e.g., finger-wearing electronic device (402)) according to one embodiment is included in a first angle range (e.g., first angle range (611)) or a second angle range (e.g., second angle range (612)).

[0121] Referring to FIG. 8, in state (801), the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) may display a screen through a display (e.g., display (420)). Based on displaying a screen (e.g., screen (500), the first screen of FIG. 7) through the display (420), the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) may transmit a trigger signal to a finger-wearing electronic device (e.g., finger-wearing electronic device (402)) through a communication circuit (e.g., communication circuit (430)). The trigger signal may be referred to as a signal for triggering the finger-wearing electronic device (402) to acquire user input information through a sensor (e.g., sensor (480)). For the trigger signal, the descriptions of operation 700 of FIG. 7 may be referred to. For example, after transmitting a trigger signal, the wrist-worn electronic device (401) may determine whether the angle (610) is included in the first angle range (611) or the second angle range (612). However, the embodiments are not limited thereto. After determining whether the angle (610) is included in the first angle range (611) or the second angle range (612), the wrist-worn electronic device (401) may transmit a trigger signal to the finger-worn electronic device (402).

[0122] According to one embodiment, the wrist-worn electronic device (401) can change from state (801) to state (803) based on a determination that the angle (610) is included in a first angle range (611). For example, the wrist-worn electronic device (401) can change from state (801) to state (803) based on a determination that the angle (610) is included in a first angle range (611) after transmitting a trigger signal.

[0123] According to one embodiment, the finger-wearing electronic device (402) can identify an external object (e.g., user's finger) in contact with the finger-wearing electronic device (402) through a sensor (e.g., sensor (480), touch sensor). In response to identifying an external object (e.g., user's finger) in contact with the finger-wearing electronic device (402), the finger-wearing electronic device (402) can transmit a start signal to the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) through a communication circuit (e.g., communication circuit (470)). According to another embodiment, the finger-wearing electronic device (402) can transmit a start signal to the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) through the communication circuit (470) based on identifying a rotation greater than a threshold angle through the sensor (480). After transmitting the start signal, the finger-wearing electronic device (402) can obtain user input information through the sensor (480). A start signal may be referenced as a signal to notify the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) of the acquisition and transmission of user input information. According to one embodiment, the wrist-wearing electronic device (401) may determine whether the angle (610) is included in a first angle range (611) or a second angle range (612) based on receiving a start signal from the finger-wearing electronic device (402). However, the embodiments are not limited thereto. The wrist-wearing electronic device (401) may receive a start signal from the finger-wearing electronic device (402) after it has been determined whether the angle (610) is included in the first angle range (611) or the second angle range (612). The wrist-worn electronic device (401) can change from state (801) to state (803) in response to receiving a start signal, depending on the determination that the angle (610) is included in the first angle range (611).

[0124] In state (803), the wrist-worn electronic device (401) may display a visual object (810) and / or a visual object (820) through the display (420). The wrist-worn electronic device (401) may display the visual object (810) and / or the visual object (820) superimposed on the screen. The visual object (810) may be an indicator for guiding scrolling of the screen in a first direction of an axis parallel to the strap (e.g., fastening member (250, 260)) of the wrist-worn electronic device (401). The visual object (820) may be an indicator for guiding scrolling of the screen in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

[0125] According to one embodiment, a wrist-worn electronic device (401) may display a visual object (810), a visual object (815), and / or a visual object (820) through a display (420). The visual object (815) may be moved to correspond to the direction in which the screen is scrolled while the screen is scrolled according to user input. For example, the wrist-worn electronic device (401) may move the visual object (815) to be adjacent to the visual object (810) among the visual object (810) and the visual object (820) when the screen is scrolled in a direction guided by the visual object (810). For example, the wrist-worn electronic device (401) may move the visual object (815) to be adjacent to the visual object (820) among the visual object (810) and the visual object (820) when the screen is scrolled in a direction guided by the visual object (820).

[0126] The wrist-worn electronic device (401) can change from state (803) to state (805) in response to identifying that scrolling of the screen is impossible in the direction guided by the visual object (810). For example, the wrist-worn electronic device (401) can identify that scrolling of the screen is impossible by identifying that scrolling of the screen has failed a predetermined number of times.

[0127] In state (805), the wrist-worn electronic device (401) may display a visual effect on a visual object (810) through a display (420). For example, the visual effect may include an effect that reduces the saturation of the visual object (810). For example, the visual effect may include a dim effect on the visual object (810). For example, the visual effect may include an effect that increases the transparency of the visual object (810). For example, the visual effect may include a blur effect on the visual object (810). For example, the visual effect may include an effect that changes the color of the visual object (810). However, the embodiments are not limited thereto.

[0128] According to one embodiment, the wrist-worn electronic device (401) may determine the failure of an input in response to identifying that the screen cannot be changed based on the determination that the angle (610) is included in the first angle range (611). For example, the wrist-worn electronic device (401) may determine the failure of an input in response to identifying that the screen cannot be scrolled in the direction guided by the visual object (810). The wrist-worn electronic device (401) may execute a function to correct the operation determining the angle (610) based on identifying the number of input failures greater than a reference number. The reference number may be set by the user in the wrist-worn electronic device (401). The wrist-worn electronic device (401) may output a notification suggesting correction of the operation determining the angle (610) in response to identifying the number of input failures greater than a reference number. The wrist-worn electronic device (401) may display a user interface through a display (420) for correcting an operation to determine an angle (610) in response to identifying a number of input failures greater than a reference number. While displaying the user interface, the wrist-worn electronic device (401) may perform the correction of the operation to determine the angle (610).

[0129] In state (801), the wrist-worn electronic device (401) can display a screen through the display (420).

For example, the wrist-worn electronic device (401) can change from state (801) to state (807) based on a determination that the angle (610) falls within the second angle range (612) after transmitting a trigger signal.

[0130] In a non-limiting example, the wrist-worn electronic device (401) may determine whether the angle (610) falls within the first angle range (611) or the second angle range (612) based on receiving a start signal from the finger-worn electronic device (402). However, the embodiments are not limited thereto. The wrist-worn electronic device (401) may receive a start signal from the finger-worn electronic device (402) after it has been determined whether the angle (610) falls within the first angle range (611) or the second angle range (612).

The visual object (830) may be an indicator for guiding scrolling of the screen in a third direction along an axis perpendicular to the strap of the wrist-worn electronic device (401). The third direction may be perpendicular to the direction guided by the visual object (810). The visual object (820) may be an indicator for guiding scrolling of the screen in a fourth direction opposite to the third direction.

[0132] According to one embodiment, a wrist-worn electronic device (401) may display a visual object (830), a visual object (835), and / or a visual object (840) through a display (420). The visual object (835) may be moved to correspond to the direction in which the screen is scrolled while the screen is scrolled according to user input. For example, the wrist-worn electronic device (401) may move the visual object (835) to be adjacent to the visual object (830) among the visual object (830) and the visual object (840) when the screen is scrolled in a direction guided by the visual object (830).

[0133] The wrist-worn electronic device (401) can change from state (807) to state (809) in response to identifying that scrolling of the screen is impossible in the direction guided by the visual object (830).

[0134] In state (809), the wrist-worn electronic device (401) may display a visual effect for a visual object (830) through the display (420). For the visual effect for the visual object (830), the descriptions of the visual effect for the visual object (810) exemplified in state (805) may be referenced. For example, the visual effect may include an effect that reduces the saturation of the visual object (830). For example, the visual effect may include a dim effect for the visual object (830).

[0136] According to one embodiment, the wrist-worn electronic device (401) may change from state (807) to state (803) in response to identifying that the angle (610) changes from within a second angle range (612) to within a first angle range (611). The wrist-worn electronic device (401) may stop or refrain from displaying the visual object (830) and / or the visual object (840). The wrist-worn electronic device (401) may display the visual object (810) and / or the visual object (820) through the display (420).

[0137] The wrist-worn electronic device (401) may change from state (803) to state (807) in response to identifying that the angle (610) changes from within a first angle range (611) to within a second angle range (612).

The wearable device (1400) may have a shape corresponding to the part of the body (1470) so that it is worn on the part of the user's body (1470).

[0184] According to one embodiment, the housing (1410) may include a first surface (1410a) facing the first body part (1470) of the user while the wearable device (1400) is worn on the first body part (1470) of the user, and a second surface (1410b) opposite to the first surface (1410a). The first body part (1470) may be one of the fingers of the user. For example, at least a portion of the first surface (1410a) may come into contact with the first body part (1470) of the user when the wearable device (1400) is worn on the user. For example, the first surface (1410a) may surround the first body part (1470) of the user on which the wearable device (1400) is worn. For example, the first surface (1410a) can cover the first body part (1470) of a user wearing the wearable device (1400). For example, the first surface (1410a) can be configured to pressurize the first body part (1470) of the user when the wearable device (1400) is worn by the user, thereby securing the wearable device (1400) to the first body part (1470).

[0185] For example, the second surface (1410b) can form the exterior of the electronic device (301) together with the first surface (1410a). For example, the second surface (1410b) can form a ring-shaped housing (1410) together with the first surface (1410a). For example, the second surface (1410b) may be a surface spaced apart from the first body part (1470) of the user when the electronic device (301) is worn on the first body part (1470) of the user. For example, while the electronic device (301) is worn on the first body part (1470) of the user, the first surface (1410a) may be the surface closest to the first body part (1470) of the user. The second surface (1410b) opposite to the first surface (1410a) may be the surface furthest from the first body part (1470). For example, the first surface (1410a) may be referred to as the inner circumference surface of the housing (1410). The second surface (1410b) opposite to the first surface (1410a) may be referred to as the outer circumference surface of the housing (1410).

[0186] Although the wearable device (1400) has been described as being worn on a first body part (1470) of the user, the embodiments are not limited thereto. It should be noted that the first body part (1470) is intended to describe a part of the user's body (1470) on which the wearable device (1400) is worn, and does not limit the part of the user's body (1470) on which the wearable device (1400) is worn, nor does it limit the arrangement relationship between the part of the body (1470) and the wearable device (1400). For example, the first body part (1470) may be one of the user's fingers, but the embodiments are not limited thereto.

[0187] According to one embodiment, the housing (1410) may include a first frame (1411) defining a first surface (1410a), and a second frame (1412) defining a second surface (1410b) and coupled to the first frame (1411). For example, the first frame (1411) may be a portion of the housing (1410) that includes the first surface (1410a). For example, the first frame (1411) may come into contact with a part of the user's body (1470) when the wearable device (1400) is worn by the user. For example, the first surface (1410a) may form at least a portion of the exterior of the first frame (1411). The second surface (1410b), opposite to the first surface (1410a), may form at least a portion of the exterior of the second frame (1412). For example, the first frame (1411) may be referred to as the inner wall of the housing (1410) in that it comes into contact with a part of the user's body (1470) while the wearable device (1400) is worn by the user. The first surface (1410a) of the first frame (1411) may be referred to as the inner surface of the housing (1410) in that it at least partially surrounds the part of the user's body (1470) where the wearable device (1400) is worn. For example, the second frame (1412) may be referred to as the outer wall of the housing (1410) in that it is coupled to the first frame (1411) to surround the first frame (1411). The second surface (1410b) of the second frame (1412) may be referred to as the outer surface of the housing (1410) in that it is a periphery that does not come into contact with the part of the body (1470) on which the wearable device (1400) is worn while the wearable device (1400) is worn by the user.For example, with reference to FIG. 14b, the first frame (1411) may provide a medium for the path of light emitted from the light-emitting part (1451). The first frame (1411) may include at least one of silicon, epoxy, and acrylic, but embodiments are not limited thereto.

[0188] For example, the second frame (1412) may surround the first frame (1411). For example, the second frame (1412) may support the first frame (1411). For example, the second frame (1412) may form the exterior of the housing (1410) together with the first frame (1411). For example, the second frame (1412) may be a portion of the housing (1410) that includes a second surface (1410b) opposite to the first surface (1410a). The second frame (1412) may include at least one of metal and titanium, but embodiments are not limited thereto. The housing (1410) of the wearable device (1400) can provide a variety of user experiences to the user by including a first frame (1411) and a second frame (1412) that include different materials.

[0189] FIG. 14b is a cross-sectional view of a wearable device (1400) (e.g., finger-wearing electronic device (402)) according to one embodiment.

The battery (1430) can be charged through the power supplied via the charging interface (1435). The battery (1430) can supply power to at least some of the electronic components on the printed circuit board (1440) by being connected to the printed circuit board (1440).

[0192] According to one embodiment, the printed circuit board (1440) may include at least one of a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) and a rigid flexible printed circuit board (RFPCB) depending on the material, but the embodiments are not limited thereto.

[0193] A processor (1401) may be configured to control at least some of the electronic components within a wearable device (1400). The processor (1401) may control the electronic components within the wearable device (1400) through communication with an external electronic device connected to the wearable device (1400) (e.g., the electronic device (301) of FIG. 3).

[0194] A communication module (1402) can connect an external electronic device and a wearable device (1400). Through the communication module (1402), a processor (1401) can control at least some of the electronic components within the wearable device (1400) or cause an event for the execution of a function of the external electronic device based on user input received from the external electronic device. For example, the processor (1401) of the wearable device (1400) may be configured to execute an application of the external electronic device through the communication module (1402) and a processor within the external electronic device (e.g., at least one processor (300) of FIG. 3). However, embodiments are not limited thereto.

[0195] According to one embodiment, a communication module (1402) can connect a wearable device (1400) to an external electronic device via near field communication. For example, the communication module (1402) can connect the wearable device (1400) to the external electronic device based on an external electronic device within a specified distance range from the wearable device (1400). However, embodiments are not limited thereto. The communication module (1402) can establish a wireless communication network for communication with an external electronic device via WiFi, NFC, Zigbee, Bluetooth, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), or a combination thereof. The communication module (1402) can transmit user input to the wearable device (1400) to the external electronic device or receive user input to the external electronic device from the external electronic device through a short-range wireless communication network between the wearable device (1400) and the external electronic device.

[0196] The electronic components included in the wearable device (1400) are not limited to the configuration described above. For example, the wearable device (1400) may include various sensors including a temperature sensor, a proximity sensor, a motion sensor, and a pressure sensor.

[0197] According to one embodiment, the wearable device (1400) may include a first sensor module (1450) configured to detect biometric information about a user, comprising a light-emitting part (1451) facing a first surface (1410a) of a housing (1410) and a light-receiving part (1452) spaced apart from the light-emitting part (1451).

[0198] According to one embodiment, the processor (1401) may be configured to emit light using the light-emitting part (1451) of the first sensor module (1450). The processor (1401) may be configured to obtain information related to the external environment through at least a portion of the light received by the light-receiving part (1452) after being emitted from the light-emitting part (1451) using the light-receiving part (1452) of the first sensor module (1450).

[0199] For example, the first sensor module (1450) may be placed in the internal space of the housing (1410) between the first surface (1410a) and the second surface (1410b). For example, the first sensor module (1450) may be placed on a component (e.g., a printed circuit board (1440)) of the wearable device (1400) between the first surface (1410a) and the second surface (1410b). The first sensor module (1450) may be electrically connected to the component. For example, the first sensor module (1450) may be configured to sense the state of the user by using a part of the user's body (1470) worn on the wearable device (1400). The wearable device (1400) may be configured to provide information related to the state to the user through the sensed state of the user. For example, the first sensor module (1450) may include at least one of an optical sensor or a heart rate measurement (HRM) sensor using photoplethysmography (PPG), but embodiments are not limited thereto. The light-emitting part (1451) may be referred to as a light-emitting diode (LED), and the light-receiving part (1452) may be referred to as a photo diode, but embodiments are not limited thereto.

[0200] For example, the light-emitting unit (1451) may be configured to emit light in a plurality of directions. A portion of the light emitted from the light-emitting unit (1451) in the plurality of directions may be reflected by a part of the user's body (1470) worn on the electronic device (301). For example, the light-emitting unit (1451) may be configured to emit light toward a part of the user's body (1470) worn on the wearable device (1400). The light emitted from the light-emitting unit (1451) toward the part of the user's body (1470) may be reflected by the part of the body (1470).
