An audio output device is provided. The audio output device includes a buffering member including a biometric sensor and a first terminal connected to the biometric sensor, a housing including a portion to which the buffering member is mounted, a second terminal disposed in the portion of the housing and electrically connected to the first terminal of the buffering member, and a control circuit positioned inside the housing and operatively connected to the biometric sensor, the first terminal, and the second terminal, wherein the control circuit may be configured to supply power to the biometric sensor through the second terminal if the first terminal and the second terminal are connected, and to receive at least one piece of biometric signal data obtained from the biometric sensor of the buffering member through the second terminal.

Audio output device for obtaining biometric data and method of operating same

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.
