For example, the electronic device may determine whether the amount of change in movement is equal to or greater than a preset reference value (eg, N and N are natural numbers). According to various embodiments, the amount of change in the user's movement may be detected based on various sensors (eg, an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, a geomagnetic sensor, a motion sensor, etc.) included in the electronic device.

In operation 1601, if it is determined that the amount of change in movement is less than N, the electronic device may continuously check the amount of change in movement. If it is determined in operation 1601 that the amount of change in movement is N or more, in operation 1603 , the electronic device may determine whether the heart rate is within a preset normal range. In various embodiments, the heart rate of the user may be measured based on a heart rate sensor included in the electronic device.

If it is determined that the user's heart rate is within the normal range in operation 1603 , in operation 1607 , the electronic device may determine the acceleration of the movement. For example, the electronic device may determine whether the acceleration of the movement is equal to or greater than a preset reference value (eg, M and M are natural numbers). According to various embodiments, the user's motion acceleration may be detected based on various sensors (eg, an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, a motion sensor, etc.) included in the electronic device.

In operation 1607, if the electronic device determines that the motion acceleration is less than M, in operation 1611, information on a warning level corresponding to a result determined from among preset warning levels is transmitted to the connected counterpart electronic device (eg, a parent terminal) can For example, the electronic device determines a warning level (eg, warning level 1 among various preset warning levels) corresponding to the user state based on the determination result of operations 1601, 1603, and 1607, and determines the determined warning Information corresponding to the level may be transmitted to the parent terminal.

According to an embodiment, when detecting a sudden (sudden) movement of the electronic device, the electronic device may determine that the user wearing (or possessing) the electronic device is moving. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, when detecting a transition from a state in which there is little movement of the electronic device to a state of movement, a state in which a set user or another user moves while wearing or carrying the electronic device may be set. Alternatively, it may be set to a situation in which a set user (eg, a child) wakes up and moves. When detecting such a situation, the electronic device may notify the parent terminal of the corresponding situation by using a corresponding warning level 1 (eg, a lower warning level). According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the counterpart electronic device may transmit the corresponding situation to the user of the counterpart electronic device through an output corresponding to the warning level 1 .

In operation 1607, when the electronic device determines that the motion acceleration is M or higher, in operation 1621, information on a warning level corresponding to a result determined from among preset warning levels is transmitted to a connected counterpart electronic device (eg, a parent terminal) can For example, the electronic device determines a warning level (eg, warning level 2 among various preset warning levels) corresponding to the user state based on the determination result of operations 1601, 1603, and 1607, and determines the determined warning Information corresponding to the level may be transmitted to the parent terminal.

When detecting such a situation change, the electronic device may notify the corresponding situation to the parent terminal by using a warning level 2 (eg, a medium warning level) set in response thereto. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the counterpart electronic device may transmit the corresponding situation to the user of the counterpart electronic device through an output corresponding to the warning level 2 .

If it is determined in operation 1603 that the user's heart rate is outside the normal range, in operation 1605, the electronic device may determine whether the heart rate is faster or slower than normal. For example, when the measured heart rate of the user is out of a preset normal range, the electronic device may determine whether the user's heart rate is higher or lower than the set normal heart rate.

If it is determined in operation 1605 that the user's heart rate is slower than the normal heart rate, the electronic device proceeds to operation 1607 and controls the following operations to be performed. For example, the electronic device determines a warning level (eg, warning level 1 or warning level 2) corresponding to the user state based on the determination result of operations 1601, 1603, 1605, and 1607, and the determined warning level An operation (eg, operation 1611 or operation 1621) of transmitting information corresponding to .

If the electronic device determines that the user's heart rate is faster than the normal heart rate in operation 1605, in operation 1631, information on the warning level corresponding to the determined result among the preset warning levels is transmitted to the connected counterpart electronic device (eg, the parent electronic device). terminal) can be transmitted. For example, the electronic device determines a warning level (eg, warning level 3 among various preset warning levels) corresponding to the user state based on the determination result of operations 1601, 1603, and 1605, and determines the determined warning Information corresponding to the level may be transmitted to the parent terminal.

According to an embodiment, the electronic device may detect a sudden movement of the electronic device and, when the user's heart rate is high, may determine that it is an emergency (emergency) situation. In various embodiments, when the electronic device detects a sudden change in movement in a state where there is little movement (eg, sensed by the gyro sensor), when the user's heart rate measured based on the heart rate sensor is higher than a general value, the user may be set as an emergency situation. For example, it may be set as a situation in which a user who wears or possesses the electronic device is greatly surprised or mentally atrophied. When detecting such a situation, the electronic device may notify the parent terminal of the corresponding situation by using a corresponding warning level 3 (eg, the highest warning level). According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the counterpart electronic device may transmit the corresponding situation to the user of the counterpart electronic device through an output corresponding to the warning level 3 .

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, when an administrator possesses and operates a first electronic device (eg, a smartphone) and a user (eg, a child or a child) wears a second electronic device (eg, a wearable device) , a remote control function for the second electronic device may be provided by the first electronic device. In various embodiments, when electronic devices are used as described above, for example, a situation for preventing a lost child or a situation for notification of an emergency (emergency) situation may be implemented for various situations.

According to an embodiment, the second electronic device (eg, a wearable device) may monitor the state of a user (eg, a child) wearing the second electronic device under a preset jogger, and based on the monitoring result, the user can detect the presence of an emergency. When the second electronic device detects the user's emergency situation under a preset condition, the second electronic device transmits various information about the corresponding situation (eg, information for notifying the user's current status) to the connected counterpart electronic device (eg, the mother terminal) or another predetermined other device. It may be transmitted to an electronic device (or a server (eg, a police station, a fire station)). An operation for notifying the user's current state based on the second electronic device will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 and 18 .

17 is a flowchart illustrating a notification method by detecting a user state in an electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 17 , FIG. 17 illustrates an example of entering an emergency mode through a screen touching operation based on a touch screen of an electronic device and transmitting state information on a detected user state accordingly. According to various embodiments, the state information may be transmitted to a counterpart electronic device (eg, a mother terminal) connected to the electronic device or another electronic device (eg, a server, a nearby electronic device, etc.) preset according to an emergency service. According to an embodiment, a case in which it is difficult for a user (eg, a child) to recognize letters or perform accurate recognition or sliding operation may be considered. Accordingly, in various embodiments, when the user touches the surface of the touch screen several times at regular intervals, it is counted, and when counting is detected over a certain period, it may be set to be recognized as an emergency or a call situation of the user.

In operation 1701, if the electronic device recognizes a screen touch based on the touch screen, in operation 1703, the electronic device may determine whether the recognized screen touch is a whole surface touch of the touch screen.

If the electronic device detects the front touch based on the operations 1701 and 1703 , in operation 1705 , the user's biometric information may be obtained. In various embodiments, the biometric information may be acquired by an internal sensor provided in the electronic device or an external sensor interworking with the electronic device. The electronic device may continuously monitor the user's state through the sensor, and may store biometric information on the user's state corresponding to the monitoring result. The electronic device may monitor the user's state based on the sensor, and when detecting the front touch as in operations 1701 and 1703, may acquire stored biometric information according to the user's state at the time of detecting the front touch .

In operation 1707, the electronic device may determine whether there is an emergency for the user based on the obtained biometric information. For example, the electronic device may check the user's highest heart rate (HHR) and compare the HHR with a set value (eg, 100). If the HHR is greater than the set value, the electronic device may determine that the user is in an abnormal state (emergency situation), and if the HHR is less than or equal to the set value, it may determine that the user is in the normal state.
