Abstract
A wearable device includes a first electrode configured to contact a user's body; a second electrode having a pointed shape, in which corona discharge occurs; a power supplier connected between the first electrode and the second electrode to apply power to the first electrode and the second electrode; a current measurer configured to measure a leakage current that leaks to the second electrode; and a controller configured to control the power supplier to apply power to the first electrode and the second electrode to induce the corona discharge, measure a leakage current generated due to the corona discharge via the current measurer, and sense the touch event, based on the measured leakage current.
