Provided is a pain detecting method including obtaining an electric signal from applied pressure and heat by using a sensor unit including a material exhibiting both the piezoelectric characteristic and the thermoelectric characteristic; separating a pressure signal generated by the pressure and a heat signal generated by the heat from the obtained electric signal; determining whether to generate pain data from each of the pressure signal and the heat signal; and outputting the pain data.

Pain detection method and electronic device therefor

A pain sensing device includes a sensor array including a plurality of sensors that sense pressure generated due to a contact of an object and output electrical piezoelectric signals; and a signal processor configured to recognize the shape of the object based on the number of sensors that output the piezoelectric signals among the plurality of sensors, and to generate a pain signal according to the recognized shape of the object.
