At operation 1601, the electronic device can determine the amount of movement of the user. For example, the electronic device can determine whether the amount of change in motion is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference value (e.g., N and N are natural numbers). In various embodiments, the user ' s amount of motion variation can be sensed based on various sensors (e.g., acceleration sensors, gyro sensors, geomagnetic sensors, motion sensors, etc.) included in the electronic device.

In operation 1601, if the electronic device determines that the amount of change in motion is less than N, the amount of change in motion can be continuously checked. At operation 1601, if the electronic device determines that the amount of change in motion is equal to or greater than N, at operation 1603, the electronic device can determine whether the heart rate is within a predetermined normal range. In various embodiments, the heart rate of the user can be measured based on a heart rate sensor or the like included in the electronic device.

At operation 1603, if the electronic device determines that the heart rate of the user is within the normal range, at operation 1607, the acceleration of the motion may be determined. For example, the electronic device can determine whether or not the acceleration of the motion is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference value (e.g., M and M are natural numbers). In various embodiments, the user's motion acceleration may be sensed based on various sensors (e.g., acceleration sensors, gyro sensors, motion sensors, etc.) that the electronic device includes.

At operation 1607, if the electronic device determines that the motion acceleration is less than M, at operation 1611, the information of the warning level corresponding to the result of determining one of the preset warning levels is transmitted to the connected counterpart electronic device . For example, the electronic device may determine an alert level (e.g., alert level 1 of various preset alert levels) corresponding to the user status based on the results of determining actions 1601, 1603, and 1607, Information corresponding to the level can be transmitted to the terminal.

According to one embodiment, when the electronic device senses abrupt (sudden) movement of the electronic device, it can be determined that the user wearing (or possessing) the electronic device is moving.

Or a situation where a set user (e.g., a child) wakes up and moves. When the electronic device detects such a situation, the electronic device can notify the current state to the parent terminal using the set warning level 1 (e.g., lower warning level). In various embodiments, the counterpart electronic device may communicate the situation to a user of the counterpart electronic device via an output corresponding to warning level 1.

If the electronic device determines in step 1607 that the motion acceleration is equal to or greater than M, then in step 1621, the electronic device transmits to the connected counterpart electronic device (e.g., mother terminal) information of the alert level corresponding to the result of determining one of the preset alert levels .

In various embodiments, it may be set to a situation to warn of lost or stolen is prevented if the motion acceleration of the electronic device is suddenly changed. When the electronic device detects such a change in the situation, the electronic device can notify the current state to the terminal using the set warning level 2 (e.g., medium warning level) corresponding thereto. In various embodiments, the counterpart electronic device can communicate the situation to a user of the counterpart electronic device via an output corresponding to the warning level 2.

At operation 1603, if the electronic device determines that the heart rate of the user is outside the normal range, at operation 1605, the electronic device may determine whether the heart rate is faster or slower than normal. For example, the electronic device can determine whether the heart rate of the user is higher or lower than the set normal heart rate when the measured heart rate of the user is out of a preset normal range.

If the electronic device determines that the heart rate of the user is slower than the normal heart rate in operation 1605, the operation proceeds to operation 1607 to control the following operations. For example, the electronic device may determine an alert level (e.g., alert level 1 or alert level 2) corresponding to the user status based on the results of determining actions 1601, 1603, 1605, and 1607, (E.g., operation 1611 or operation 1621) to the corresponding terminal.

If the electronic device determines in operation 1605 that the heart rate of the user is faster than the normal heart rate, in operation 1631, the information of the warning level corresponding to the result of determining one of the preset warning levels is transmitted to the connected counterpart electronic device Terminal). For example, the electronic device may determine an alert level (e.g., alert level 3 of the various preset alert levels) corresponding to the user status based on the results of determining actions 1601, 1603, and 1605, Information corresponding to the level can be transmitted to the terminal.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device detects a sudden movement of the electronic device, and can determine the emergency (emergency) situation when the user's heart rate is high. In various embodiments, when the electronic device senses a sudden change in motion (e.g., sensing by a gyro sensor) in the absence of motion, when the user's heart rate measured based on the heart rate sensor is higher than a typical value, May be set to be an emergency situation. For example, a user who wears or holds an electronic device can be set to a situation where the user is greatly surprised or atrophied. When the electronic device senses this situation, the electronic device can notify the terminal of the situation using the set warning level 3 (for example, the highest level of warning) corresponding thereto. In various embodiments, the counterpart electronic device can communicate the situation to a user of the counterpart electronic device via an output corresponding to the warning level 3.

In various embodiments, when the electronic devices are used as described above, they can be implemented for various situations such as, for example, a situation for preventing a child or a situation for notifying of an emergency situation.

According to one embodiment, a second electronic device (e.g., a wearable device) can monitor the status of a user (e.g., a child) wearing a second electronic device under a preset jogger, It is possible to detect whether or not an emergency situation exists. When the second electronic device detects an emergency situation of a user under a predetermined condition, the second electronic device transmits various information (e.g., information for informing the user's current status) about the situation to a connected electronic device (e.g., Electronic device (or a server (e.g., police station, fire station)). The operation for informing the user of the current state based on the second electronic device will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 and 18. FIG.

17 is a flowchart illustrating a method of notification by user status detection in an electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 17, FIG. 17 illustrates an example of transmitting state information on a user state to enter an emergency mode through a screen touching operation based on a touch screen of an electronic device and thereby detect a user state. In various embodiments, the status information may be transmitted to a counterpart electronic device (e.g., a parent terminal) connected to the electronic device or other electronic device (e.g., server, peripheral electronic device, etc.) preset according to the emergency service. According to an embodiment, it is possible to consider a case where a user (for example, a child) is hard to recognize characters or perform accurate recognition or sliding operation. Accordingly, in various embodiments, when the user touches the surface of the touch screen several times at a predetermined interval, the user may count the number of times of touching the touch screen, and if the predetermined number of counts is detected, the user may be aware of the emergency or calling situation.

At operation 1701, if the electronic device recognizes a screen touch based on the touch screen, at operation 1703, the electronic device can determine whether the recognized screen touch is a whole surface touch of the touch screen.

In various embodiments, the biometric information may be obtained by an internal sensor included in the electronic device or by an external sensor associated with the electronic device. The electronic device can continuously monitor the status of the user through the sensor and store biometric information on the status of the user corresponding to the monitored result. The electronic device can monitor the status of the user based on the sensor and can acquire the biometric information according to the user state at the time of sensing the stored or the front touch when sensing the front touch as in the operation 1701 and the operation 1703 .

In operation 1707, the electronic device may determine whether the user is in an emergency based on the acquired biometric information. For example, the electronic device can check the user's highest heart rate (HHR) and compare the HHR to a set value (e.g., 100). The electronic device can determine that the user is in an abnormal state (emergency) if the HHR is greater than the set value, and can determine that the user is in a normal state when the HHR is less than or equal to the set value.

If the electronic device determines in step 1707 that the electronic device is not in an emergency, it may determine whether the front touch has been detected a predetermined number of times (e.g., N, N is a natural number) in step 1709. For example, the user can input the touch N times through the front surface of the touch screen of the electronic device, and the electronic device counts the touch input of the user by the front touch to judge whether the front touch is input more than N times can do.

In operation 1709, if the electronic device determines that the front touch is an input of a preset N or less, the electronic device proceeds to operation 1701 and can perform the following operation.

If the electronic device determines in step 1707 that the electronic device is in an emergency, or in step 1709, the electronic device determines that the front touch is an input that is greater than a predetermined N, then the process proceeds to operation 1711, have.

At operation 1711, the electronic device can verify the connection status of the partner electronic device (e.g., parent terminal). For example, the electronic device can check whether a parent terminal is connected based on at least one communication method.

In operation 1711, the electronic device may transmit an emergency signal including status information (e.g., biometric information, location information, etc.) to the connected parent terminal in operation 1713, if the parent terminal is confirmed to be connected.

In operation 1711, the electronic device may operate (execute, switch) in an advertising mode at operation 1715 if it determines that the parent terminal is not connected. For example, an electronic device can switch to BLE (Beacon Low Energy) Beacon Advertising mode if it can not detect an existing home terminal, or if a connection with a home terminal is not performed.

At operation 1717, the electronic device may broadcast an emergency signal in an advertising mode. For example, an electronic device may switch to BLE Beacon Advertising mode to broadcast a pre-defined emergency signal. In various embodiments, the emergency signal can be made detectable only in electronic devices if it is previously subscribed to a particular service (e.

Referring to FIG. 18, FIG. 18 shows an example of transmitting state information on the user state to be entered in the emergency mode through the motion detection of the electronic hands and based on the acceleration sensor of the electronic device. In various embodiments, the status information may be transmitted to a counterpart electronic device (e.g., a parent terminal) connected to the electronic device or other electronic device (e.g., server, peripheral electronic device, etc.) preset according to the emergency service. According to one embodiment, a case may be considered in which the user (e.g., a child) changes the acceleration of the electronic device by a specific hand gesture (e.g., when the palm is hit on the floor or wall, or when the user shakes with a fist). Accordingly, in various embodiments, the electronic device can be set to recognize the emergency or calling situation of the user when it detects a change in acceleration over a certain level.

At operation 1801, if the electronic device senses an acceleration change based on the acceleration sensor, then at operation 1803, the electronic device may recognize a specific pattern for the detected acceleration change. For example, the electronic device may analyze a pattern in which the acceleration is changed, and determine whether the pattern of the analysis result corresponds to a preset predetermined pattern.

If the electronic device detects a specific pattern set based on the operation 1801 and the operation 1803, the electronic device can acquire biometric information of the user in operation 1805. For example, the electronic device can acquire biometric information in a manner corresponding to that described in the description with reference to the operation 1705 in Fig. 17 described above.

In operation 1807, the electronic device can determine whether the user is in an emergency based on the acquired biometric information. For example, the electronic device can judge whether or not an emergency situation exists by the operation corresponding to that described in the description with reference to the operation 1807 of Fig. 17 described above.

If the electronic device determines in step 1807 that the electronic device is not in an emergency, then in step 1809, it may determine whether a particular pattern has been detected a predetermined number of times (e.g., N, N being a natural number). For example, the user may generate a specific pattern (e.g., an acceleration change caused by repeated reciprocating motion) of the electronic device N times while holding the electronic device. The electronic device may count a specific pattern input (e.g., the acceleration change) to determine whether a particular pattern is input more than N times preset.

In operation 1809, if the electronic device determines that the specific pattern is an input of a predetermined number N or less, the electronic device proceeds to operation 1801 to process the following operation.

If the electronic device determines in step 1807 that the electronic device is in an emergency, or in step 1809, the electronic device determines that the particular pattern is an input that is greater than a predetermined N, then the process proceeds to operation 1811, have.

In various embodiments, operation 1811, operation 1813, operation 1815, operation 1817 may be performed in a manner corresponding to that described above in the description with reference to operation 1711, operation 1713, operation 1715, operation 1717 of Figure 17 described above, The description of which will be omitted.

The electronic device can determine an emergency mode entry based on the result of the sensing operation.

In various embodiments, the electronic device may perform error correction using a biosensor capable of sensing a user's heart rate, etc., in determining an emergency mode entry. For example, an electronic device can check the degree of heartbeat based on a biological sensor, and can determine the emergency situation of the user when the degree of heartbeat is detected over a certain level. When an electronic device detects an emergency of a user, the electronic device can notify the connected electronic device (e.g., home terminal) or other electronic devices in the vicinity of the user's emergency situation.

In various embodiments, an example of notifying a user's emergency situation to a pre-registered parent terminal will be described as follows.

According to one embodiment, when the electronic device is normally connected to the parent terminal through BLE or the like, the parent terminal can be notified in real time that the user is in an emergency situation.
