An electronic device may include a PPG sensor including a light emitter that applies a current in a specified range and emits a light signal corresponding to the current and a light detector that amplifies a received light signal by applying one of a plurality of gain values, a memory that stores a plurality of sets of PPG models corresponding to the plurality of gain values and including a current value and PPG level data corresponding to the current value, and at least one processor electrically connected to the PPG sensor and the memory.

Electronic device for acquiring biometrics using PPG sensor, and method therefor

An electronic device for identifying occurrence of hypotension and a method therefor are provided. The electronic device includes a housing, a user interface, a photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor exposed through at least part of the housing, a motion sensor disposed in the housing, at least one processor operatively coupled with the user interface, the PPG sensor, and the motion sensor, and a memory operatively coupled with the at least one processor. The memory may store instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to, based on first data from the motion sensor indicating a change of a selected pattern, identify a blood pressure value based at least in part on second data from the PPG sensor, and based on the identified blood pressure value being lower than a first threshold, provide a notification through the user interface.

Electronic device and method for identifying occurrence of hypotension

An electronic device providing information through a virtual environment is disclosed. The device includes: a display; and an information providing module functionally connected with the display, wherein the information providing module displays an object corresponding to an external electronic device for the electronic device through the display, obtains information to be output through the external electronic device, and provides contents corresponding to the information in relation to a region, on which the object is displayed.

Virtual environment for sharing information

An electronic device and method for measuring biometric information are provided. The electronic device includes at least one light emitter; light receiver; and a processor. The processor is configured to emit light outside of the electronic device through the at least one light emitter, obtain, through the light receiver, light reflected by an external object among the emitted light, obtain a signal generated based on at least a portion of the reflected light and corresponding to the external object, output guide information related to a location of the external object when the signal satisfies a first designated condition, and obtain biometric information about the external object when the signal satisfies a second designated condition. When a finger of a user finger of the electronic device is not accurately located at a bio sensor, by guiding an accurate grip location, biometric information about the user can be accurately measured.

Electronic device and method for measuring biometric information

A wearable electronic device for detecting biometric information is provided. The device includes a motion sensor, one or more optical sensors including a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit, and at least one processor configured to obtain a first motion signal corresponding to the wearable electronic device, prior to a biological signal being obtained, emit light using the light emitting unit based on a determination that the first motion signal satisfies a specified condition, obtain the biological signal corresponding to a user using the light receiving unit based on reflected light which the light is reflected on the user, obtain, using the motion sensor, a second motion signal corresponding to the wearable electronic device during the obtaining of the biological signal, and refrain from the emitting of the light, based on a determination that the second motion signal does not satisfy the specified condition.

Method for detecting biometric information and electronic device using same

A method and a system for processing a heart rate (HR) in an electronic device are provided. The method includes detecting a photoplethysmography (PPG) signal, producing a first HR from the detected PPG signal, producing a second HR from the detected PPG signal, determining a resultant HR by analyzing the first HR and the second HR, and displaying the resultant HR.

Method and system for measuring heart rate in electronic device using photoplethysmography

A device for detecting biometric information is provided. The device includes a housing, a fastener coupled to a part of the housing and detachably attached to a part of a user's body, at least one first sensor configured to detect the motion of the electronic device, at least one second sensor configured to detect a change in the user's body, a memory, and a processor electrically connected to the at least one first sensor, the at least one second sensor, and the memory. The memory may store instructions that configure the processor, when being executed, to determine whether the electronic device is worn on a part of the user's body using the at least one first sensor, acquire information on the motion of the electronic device using at least a part of the at least one first sensor for a second period of time shortly before and/or immediately after a first period of time selected passes from the time when the electronic device is worn on a part of the user's body, and activate the at least one second sensor based on at least a part of the information on the motion.

Disclosed is a hearing device that may classify sound environment based on a life pattern, and categorize sound information using a sound environment category set based on the life pattern, and control an output of the sound information based on the classified sound environment.
