A wearable device includes a display; a sensor configured to obtain a biometric information of a user; a memory configured to store at least one instruction; and at least one processor configured to execute the at least one instruction to: based on an event related to executing an application, identify execution of biometric authentication associated with the application; based on the identification, display a message indicating information corresponding to the biometric authentication to be performed in the wearable device; obtain, by the sensor, the biometric information of the user wearing the wearable device; identify authority using the obtained biometric information and registered biometric information stored in the memory; and display, by the display, a screen associated with the executed application based on the identified authority.

Wearable device and method of operating the same

A method for a device to acquire biometric information includes acquiring a plurality of images including an ocular region using an infrared ray (IR) image sensor, detecting a sclera region in each of the plurality of acquired images, sensing a change of the detected sclera region, and determining biometric information based on information on the sensed change of the sclera region.
