For example, the electronic device 400 may be detachable from the part of the body of the user. For example, the electronic device 400 may have a shape corresponding to the part of the body of the user in order to be worn on the part of the body of the user.

For example, the electronic device 400 may be in contact with the part of the body of the user by being worn by the user. For example, the electronic device 400 may be configured to obtain information on the user through the part of the body of the user by being worn on the user. As an example, information on the user may include health information of the user. However, it is not limited thereto. For example, the electronic device 400 may provide the information on the user through the electronic device 400 and/or an external electronic device connected to the electronic device 400. However, it is not limited thereto.

According to an embodiment, at least a part of the first surface 411 may be in contact with the part of the body of the user when the electronic device 400 is worn on the user. For example, the first surface 411 may surround the part of the body of the user on which the electronic device 400 is worn. For example, the first surface 411 may cover the part of the body of the user on which the electronic device 400 is worn. For example, when the electronic device 400 is worn on the user, the first surface 411 may be configured so that the electronic device 400 is fastened to the part of the body by pressurizing or applying pressure to the part of the body of the user. For example, the first surface 411 may be deformable by the part of the body of the user. For example, based on haptic technology, the electronic device 400 may provide information on the user through the first surface 411.

For example, the second surface 412 may form the exterior of the electronic device 400 with the first surface 411. For example, the second surface 412 may form the ring-shaped housing 401 with the first surface 411. For example, when the electronic device 400 is worn by the user, the second surface 412 may be a surface spaced apart from the part of the body of the user. For example, the first surface 411 may be referred to as an inner circumference surface of the housing 401. The second surface 412 opposite to the first surface 411 may be referred to as an outer circumference surface of the housing 401.

For example, the second surface 412 may be exposed to the outside in a state in which the electronic device 400 is worn by the user. The second surface 412 may be configured with at least one of titanium, stainless steel, and ceramic. The second surface 412 may be configured with a material for protecting against an external impact and/or a scratch. According to an embodiment, the second surface 412 may be coated with an additional material to protect the color of the electronic device 400 and/or the exterior of the electronic device 400.

For example, the first surface 411 may be configured with the same and/or similar material as the second surface 412.

According to an embodiment, the electronic device 400 may further include a hole 470 formed by the first surface 411 to pass the part of the body of the user when the electronic device 400 is worn on the user. For example, when the electronic device 400 is worn by the user, the hole 470 may be penetrated by the part of the body of the user. By including the hole 470 configured to pass the part of the body of the user, the electronic device 400 may be configured to be fastened to the part of the body of the user when the user wears the electronic device 400.

According to an embodiment, the electronic device 400 may further include one or more components between the first surface 411 and the second surface 412. For example, the electronic device 400 may include a communication circuit, one or more sensors, and/or a processor between the first surface 411 and the second surface 412. A disposition of one or more components will be described later in FIG. 4B.

Referring to FIG. 4B, the electronic device 400 may be formed in a shape of a ring. For example, the housing 401 of the electronic device 400 may be formed in a form of the ring that may be worn on a finger of the user. In FIGS. 4A and 4B, the ring-shaped electronic device 400 whose surface is smooth is illustrated as an example, but is not limited thereto. For example, the electronic device 400 may be implemented as a housing including a plurality of planes. For example, the ring-shaped electronic device 400 whose surface is not smooth also may be understood as an embodiment of the present disclosure.

According to an embodiment, the ring-shaped housing 401 may include the first surface 411 in contact with the body of the user in the state of being worn by the user, the second surface 412 exposed to the outside, and a side surface between the first surface 411 and the second surface 412. For example, a space for including (or disposing) at least one or more components (e.g., a processor 410, a communication circuit 420, a sensor 430, and memory 440) may be included between the first surface 411 and the second surface 412.

According to an embodiment, a PCB 451 may be disposed between the first surface 411 and the second surface 412 of the electronic device 400. For example, the processor 410, the communication circuit 420, an acceleration sensor 431, a gyro sensor 432, a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor 433, a temperature sensor 434, the memory 440, and/or a PMIC 454 may be disposed on the PCB 451. For example, the PCB 451 may be configured with a rigid region and a flexible region. As an example, the rigid region may be referred to as a rigid flexible printed circuit board (RFPCB). As an example, the flexible region may be referred to as a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB).

For example, the PPG sensor 433 may include one or more light emitting circuits 433-1, one or more light receiving circuits 433-2, and a control circuit 433-3. As an example, one or more light emitting circuits 433-1 and one or more light receiving circuits 433-2 may be disposed toward the first surface 411. As an example, the control circuit 433-3 may be disposed toward the second surface 412.

For example, the PMIC 454 may be used to manage power of the electronic device 400. The PMIC 454 may be used to provide (or distribute) power to components requiring power in the electronic device 400. The PMIC 454 may support a wired charging method (e.g., a terminal, a pogo pin) or a wireless charging method (e.g., a wireless power consortium (WPC), NFC) for charging the electronic device 400 through a charging interface 453.

According to an embodiment, a battery 452 may be disposed between the first surface 411 and the second surface 412 of the electronic device 400.

According to an embodiment, a first wearable device (e.g., an electronic device 200 of FIG. 2 or an electronic device 300 of FIG. 3) and a second wearable device (e.g., the electronic device 400 of FIGS. 4A and 4B) may be worn and operated by the user. For example, the first wearable device may be worn on a first part (e.g., a wrist) of the body of the user. The second wearable device may be worn on a second part (e.g., a finger) of the body of the user. The second wearable device is configured in a shape of a ring. The second wearable device may operate in the state disposed at a designated position and/or in a designated direction on the second part of the body of the user. However, since the second wearable device is configured in the shape of the ring, it may rotate on the second part of the body of the user. In a case that the second wearable device is rotated on the second part of the body of the user, data obtained through at least one sensor included in the second wearable device may be inaccurate. Accordingly, a method for identifying whether the second wearable device has been rotated may be required.

The first wearable device (or an electronic device connected to the first wearable device and the second wearable device) may identify whether the second wearable device has been rotated based on information on orientation of the first wearable device and information on orientation of the second wearable device, and guide the second wearable device to be disposed at a designated position and/or in a designated direction on the second part of the body of the user.

An operation of the first wearable device (or the electronic device connected to the first wearable device and the second wearable device) according to the above-described embodiment may be described below. The first wearable device described below may correspond to the electronic device 200 of FIGS. 2A and 2B and/or the electronic device 300 of FIG. 3. The second wearable device described below may correspond to the electronic device 400 of FIGS. 4A and 4B.

FIG. 5 illustrates an example of an environment including a first wearable device and a second wearable device according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 5, the first wearable device 510 and the second wearable device 520 may operate in a state of being worn by a user. The first wearable device 510 may be worn on a first part (e.g., a wrist) of a body of the user. The second wearable device 520 may be worn on a second part (e.g., a finger) of the body of the user.

For example, the first wearable device 510 and the second wearable device 520 may be worn on the same arm of the user. As an example, the first wearable device 510 and the second wearable device 520 may be worn on a left arm of the user. The first wearable device 510 may be worn on the wrist of the left arm, and the second wearable device 520 may be worn on one of the fingers of the left arm. As an example, the first wearable device 510 and the second wearable device 520 may be worn on a right arm of the user. The first wearable device 510 may be worn on the wrist of the right arm, and the second wearable device 520 may be worn on one of the fingers of the right arm.

According to an embodiment, the first wearable device 510 may correspond to an electronic device 200 of FIGS. 2A and 2B or the electronic device 300 of FIG. 3. The second wearable device 520 may correspond to the electronic device 400 of FIGS. 4A and 4B.

For example, the first wearable device 510 may be configured in the shape of a watch. The second wearable device may be configured in the shape of the ring. In a case that the second wearable device 520 is configured in the shape of the ring, it may be rotated on the finger of the user. Since at least one of the sensors of the second wearable device 520 is disposed as illustrated in FIG. 4B, the second wearable device 520 may operate in the state in which the at least one of the sensors of the second wearable device 520 is disposed toward a palm of the user. In a case that the second wearable device 520 is rotated on the finger of the user, at least one of the sensors may not be disposed toward the palm of the user. In the case that at least one of the sensors is not disposed toward the palm of the user, information (or data) obtained through at least one sensor may be inaccurate.

For example, the state in which at least one of the sensors is disposed toward the palm of the user may be referred to as a normal wearing state. The state in which an angle between a direction in which a designated part (e.g., a part in which at least one sensor is disposed) of the second wearable device 520 faces and a direction in which the palm faces is within a designated range is referred to as the normal wearing state. For example, although one of the sensors of the second wearable device 520 may not be disposed directly toward the palm of the user, the second wearable device 520 is still in the normal wearing state when the angle between the direction in which the designated part (e.g., a part in which at least one sensor is disposed) of the second wearable device 520 faces and the direction in which the palm faces is within the designated range (or tolerance) as predefined. The state in which at least one sensor is not disposed toward the user's palm may be referred to as an abnormal wearing state. For example, the second wearable device 520 may be the abnormal wearing state when the angle between the direction in which the designated part (e.g., a part in which at least one sensor is disposed) of the second wearable device 520 faces and the direction in which the palm faces is outside of the designated range (or tolerance) as predefined.

For example, the second wearable device 520 may include affordance (e.g., a groove, an electrode, a display, or an indicator) to guide the normal wearing state outside the second wearable device 520. The user of the second wearable device 520 may dispose (or arrange) the second wearable device 520 to operate in the normal wearing state through affordance. For example, the user of the second wearable device 520 can position and/or reposition the second wearable device 520 on the part of the body (e.g., finger) to coincide with (fit, and/or touch) the groove, the electrode, the display, and/or the indicator such that the second wearable device 520 is positioned to operate in the normal wearing state.

According to an embodiment, the first wearable device 510 may be connected to the second wearable device 520. For example, the user of the first wearable device 200 and the second wearable device 520 are the same. The first wearable device 510 and the second wearable device 520 may be owned (or used) by the same user.

For example, the second wearable device 520 may be a device connected to the first wearable device 510 in a short distance and (concurrently) used by the same user. The second wearable device 520 may be used to control an operation of the first wearable device 510.

According to an embodiment, the processor 511 may determine an operation timing of the sensor 513. The processor 511 may control the operation of the sensor 513. The processor 511 may process information obtained from the sensor 513.

According to an embodiment, the first wearable device 510 may include a communication circuit 512. The communication circuit 512 may correspond to at least the part of a communication module 190 of FIG. 1. For example, the communication circuit 512 may be used for various radio access technology (RAT). For example, the communication circuit 512 may be used to perform Bluetooth communication, wireless local area network (WLAN) communication, Zigbee communication, near field communication (NFC), ultra wide band (UWB) communication, radio-frequency identification (RFID) communication, or ANT+ communication. For example, the communication circuit 512 may be used to perform cellular communication. For example, the processor 511 may establish a connection with another electronic device (e.g., the second wearable device 520) through the communication circuit 512. For example, the processor 511 may identify (or measure) a position of the first wearable device 510, based on received or transmitted wireless signal (e.g., global positioning system (GPS) signals) by using the communication circuit 512. According to an embodiment, the communication circuit 512 may be configured to be integrated with the processor 511.

According to an embodiment, the first wearable device 510 may include the sensor 513. The sensor 513 may be used to obtain various information. For example, the sensor 513 may be used to obtain information on the user. Information on the user may include data on the body of the user. As an example, the sensor 513 may be used to obtain body temperature data (or body temperature information), heart rate data (or heart rate information), and/or motion data (or motion information) of the user. For example, the sensor 513 may be configured with at least one sensor. For example, the sensor 513 may correspond to a sensor module 176 of FIG. 1.

For example, the sensor 513 may include an acceleration sensor 513-1. The acceleration sensor 513-1 may be used to identify a change in acceleration of the first wearable device 510. As an example, the acceleration sensor 513-1 may identify (or measure, detect) acceleration of the first wearable device 510 in three directions including the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis. As an example, the acceleration sensor 513-1 may be configured to identify acceleration of about four times or more of the acceleration of gravity on an arbitrary axis. As an example, the acceleration sensor 513-1 may have resolution of a designated size (e.g., 16 bits).

For example, the sensor 513 may include a gyro sensor 513-2. The gyro sensor 513-2 may identify (or measure, detect) angular velocity of the first wearable device 510 in three directions including the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis. According to an embodiment, the first wearable device 510 may include an inertial sensor including an acceleration sensor 513-1 and a gyro sensor 513-2.

For example, by using at least one of the acceleration sensor 513-1 and/or the gyro sensor 513-2, the first wearable device 510 may identify at least one of data on movement of the first wearable device 510, data on a gesture of the user, data on an amount of impact, data on orientation of the first wearable device 510, and/or activity information of the user (e.g., sitting, movement, sports activity, etc.).

For example, the sensor 513 may include a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor 513-3. The PPG sensor 513-3 may be used to measure a pulse (or the change in the amount of blood in a blood vessel) by identifying the amount of the change in the amount of light sensitivity according to the change in blood vessel volume. The PPG sensor 513-3 may include one or more photodiodes (PD) and one or more light emitting diodes (LED). For example, the PPG sensor 513-3 may be used to identify the change in blood flow in the blood vessel during a heartbeat. The PPG sensor 513-3 may identify the change in the blood flow in the blood vessel during the heartbeat in the state in which an optical sensor contacts the skin above a peripheral blood vessel. The processor 511 may identify the amount of blood flow based on the PPG signal and waveform, and identify the amount of change in the amount of blood flow.

For example, the PPG sensor 513-3 may include a transmissive PPG sensor and/or a reflective PPG sensor.

As an example, the PPG sensor 513-3 may output light toward skin of the user through one of an LED (e.g., green, red, or infrared (IR)), a laser, and a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL). The PPG sensor 513-3 may identify light reflected and/or transmitted from skin of the user through at least one of a PD and/or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) camera. Based on reflected and/or transmitted light, the PPG sensor 513-3 may store a value identified through an analog to digital converter (ADC) in memory 514 (or buffer).

As an example, a transmissive PPG sensor may identify light transmitted through the blood vessel through the PD disposed on the opposite side of the LED. Based on intensity of light transmitted through the blood vessel, the transmissive PPG sensor may identify the blood flow of the user. As an example, a reflective PPG sensor may output light toward skin of the user through the LED. The reflective PPG sensor may identify at least the part of received light reflected by the blood vessel through the PD disposed on substantially the same plane as the LED. Based on intensity of light reflected by the blood vessel, the reflective PPG sensor may identify the blood flow of the user. For example, a multi-light source may be used as an LED. For example, the LED may use green light, which is a complementary color to blood.

For example, the sensor 513 may include a temperature sensor 513-4. The temperature sensor 513-4 may be used to identify (or measure) the skin temperature in the part of the body of the user (e.g., wrist). For example, the temperature sensor 513-4 may include a contact type temperature sensor and a non-contact type temperature sensor. The identified temperature value may be stored in the memory 514 or may be transferred to the processor 511. The processor 511 may identify (or estimate) condition of the user, an environment in which the user is positioned, and/or the body temperature of the user based on the identified temperature value.

For example, the memory 514 may be used to store data obtained from the user. For example, the memory 514 may correspond to a memory 130 of FIG. 1. For example, the memory 514 may be a volatile memory unit or units. For example, the memory 514 may be a non-volatile memory unit or units. As another example, the memory 514 may be another type of computer readable medium, such as a magnetic or optical disk. For example, the memory 514 may store data obtained based on an operation (e.g., an algorithm execution operation) performed by the processor 511. For example, the memory 514 may store data (e.g., information on the user) obtained by the sensor 513. According to an embodiment, the memory 514 may be configured in an integrated form with the processor 511.

For example, the display 515 may be used to display a screen for representing information on the user. For example, the display 515 may be used to provide a notification to guide a posture of the user.

According to an embodiment, the second wearable device 520 may include a processor 521, a communication circuit 522, a sensor 523, and/or a memory 524. According to an embodiment, the second wearable device 520 may include at least one of the processor 521, the communication circuit 522, the sensor 523, and/or the memory 524.

FIG. 7 illustrates a flowchart on an operation of a first wearable device according to an embodiment. In the following embodiment, each of operations may be performed sequentially, but is not necessarily performed sequentially. For example, an order of each of operations may be changed, and at least two operations may be performed in parallel.

In an operation 710, a processor 511 of a first wearable device 510 may obtain first information on orientation of the first wearable device 510 worn on a first part of a body of a user. For example, the processor 511 may obtain, using a sensor 513 (e.g., an acceleration sensor 513-1 or a gyro sensor 513-2), first information on orientation of the first wearable device 510 worn on the first part of the body of the user.

For example, first information may include a first rotation angle of the first wearable device 510 according to a designated axis. As an example, the designated axis may be configured in a direction in which a finger faces in a state in which the first wearable device 510 is worn on a wrist of the user. The processor 511 may identify the first rotation angle based on a rotation of the first wearable device 510 clockwise (or counterclockwise), based on the designated axis. As an example, the processor 511 may identify the first rotation angle based on a direction in which a display 515 of the first wearable device 510 faces and a direction in which the designated axis faces. The first rotation angle may mean an angle at which the first wearable device 510 is rotated according to the rotation of a forearm bone (or wrist) of the user. For example, a specific operation for identifying the first rotation angle will be described later in FIG. 8A.

In an operation 720, the processor 511 may receive, from the second wearable device 520 worn on a second part of the body of the user, second information on orientation of the second wearable device 520. For example, a processor 521 of the second wearable device 520 may obtain, using a sensor 523 (e.g., an acceleration sensor 523-1 or a gyro sensor 523-2), second information on orientation of the second wearable device 520 worn on the second part of the body of the user. The processor 521 of the second wearable device 520 may transmit second information on the orientation of the second wearable device 520 to the first wearable device 510. The processor 511 of the first wearable device 510 may identify second information based on receiving second information on the orientation of the second wearable device 520 from the second wearable device 520.

For example, second information may include a second rotation angle of the second wearable device 520 according to the designated axis. As an example, the designated axis may be configured to correspond to a direction perpendicular to a plane corresponding to a hole of the second wearable device 520. As an example, the designated axis may be configured in a direction in which a finger faces in a state in which the second wearable device 520 is worn on the finger of the user. The second wearable device 520 (or the processor 521 of the second wearable device 520) may identify the second rotation angle based on a rotation of the second wearable device 520 clockwise (or counterclockwise), based on the designated axis. As an example, the second wearable device 520 (or the processor 521 of the second wearable device 520) may identify the second rotation angle based on a direction in which the designated part of the second wearable device 520 faces and a direction in which the designated axis faces.

According to an embodiment, the second rotation angle may be identified according to movement of the user (e.g., rotation of the forearm bone (or wrist)) or the rotation of the second wearable device 520 on the second part (e.g., a finger) of the body of the user. For example, a specific operation for identifying the second rotation angle will be described later in FIG. 8B.

According to an embodiment, the processor 511 may synchronize an axis (hereinafter, a first axis) for identifying the first rotation angle in the first wearable device 510 and an axis (hereinafter, a second axis) for identifying the second rotation angle in the second wearable device 520. For example, the first axis for identifying the first rotation angle in the first wearable device 510 may be configured in the direction in which the finger faces in the state in which the first wearable device 510 is worn on the wrist of the user. The second axis for identifying the second rotation angle of the second wearable device 520 may be configured to correspond to the direction perpendicular to the plane corresponding to the hole of the second wearable device 520. The processor 511 may perform an operation for configuring the first axis and the second axis substantially the same. For example, the processor 511 may perform an operation for configuring the first axis and the second axis substantially the same before obtaining first information and receiving second information. An operation of the processor 511 for configuring the first axis and the second axis substantially the same will be described later in FIG. 15.

In an operation 730, the processor 511 may provide a notification to guide changing at least one of a position or a direction of the second wearable device 520 on the second part of the body of the user. For example, the processor 511 may, based on first information and second information, provide the notification to guide changing at least one of the position or the direction of the second wearable device 520 on the second part (e.g., finger) of the body of the user.

According to an embodiment, based on first information and second information, the processor 511 may identify a posture of the second wearable device 520. Based on first information and second information, the processor 511 may identify the position of the second wearable device 520 with respect to the first wearable device 510. Based on first information and second information, the processor 511 may identify a rotation angle of the second wearable device 520 with respect to the first wearable device 510. Based on first information and second information, the processor 511 may identify a positional relationship between the first wearable device 510 and the second wearable device 520.

According to an embodiment, based on first information and second information, the processor 511 may identify whether a difference between the first rotation angle and the second rotation angle is outside a designated range. Based on the difference between the first rotation angle and the second rotation angle being outside the designated range, the processor 511 may identify that the second wearable device 520 has rotated on the second part of the body of the user. Based on identifying that the second wearable device 520 has rotated on the second part of the body of the user, the processor 511 may identify a wearing state of the second wearable device 520 as an abnormal wearing state. For example, the normal wearing state may mean the state in which the angle between the direction in which the designated part (e.g., the part in which at least one sensor is disposed) of the second wearable device 520 faces and the direction in which a palm faces is within the designated range. For example, the abnormal wearing state may mean the state in which the angle between the direction in which the designated part (e.g., the part in which at least one sensor is disposed) of the second wearable device 520 faces and the direction in which a palm faces is outside the designated range.

According to an embodiment, based on first information and second information, the processor 511 may provide the notification to guide the wearing state of the second wearable device 520 to change from the abnormal wearing state to the normal wearing state. Accordingly, the notification on the first wearable device 510 guides the user to change the second wearable device 520 from the abnormal wearing state to the normal wearing state, thereby allowing the second wearable device 520 to provide information about the second part of the body of the user.

According to an embodiment, the processor 511 may identify a value for the movement of the first wearable device 510 and a value for the movement of the second wearable device 520. Based on identifying that the value for movement of the first wearable device 510 and the value for movement of the second wearable device 520 are within the designated movement range, the processor 511 may obtain first information. The processor 511 may perform the operation 710, based on identifying that the value for movement of the first wearable device 510 and the value for movement of the second wearable device 520 are within the designated movement range. The processor 511 may obtain first information and second information, based on the fact that movement of the user is not identified. In the case that the user moves, the processor 511 may not accurately identify the positional relationship between the first wearable device 510 and the second wearable device 520. Accordingly, the processor 511 may perform the operations 710 and 720 to identify the positional relationship between the first wearable device 510 and the second wearable device 520 only in case that movement of the user is not identified.

FIG. 8A illustrates an example of a first rotation angle of a first wearable device according to an embodiment.

FIG. 8B illustrates an example of a second rotation angle of a second wearable device according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 8A, a processor 511 of a first wearable device 510 may identify data on three vectors, using an acceleration sensor 513-1 and/or a gyro sensor 513-2, to identify the first rotation angle of the first wearable device 510. The processor 511 may identify the three vectors to identify the first rotation angle of the first wearable device 510.

According to an embodiment, the processor 511 of the first wearable device 510 may identify a vector ({right arrow over (N_w)}), a vector ({right arrow over (G_w)}), and a vector ({right arrow over (X_w)}). For example, a first vector ({right arrow over (N_w)}) is a unit vector facing from a first part to a second part (e.g., a finger) of the user in a state in which the first wearable device 510 is worn on the first part (e.g., a wrist) of a body of a user. The vector ({right arrow over (G_w)}) is a unit vector facing a direction opposite to the direction in which a display 515 of the first wearable device 510 faces. The vector ({right arrow over (G_w)}) may be perpendicular to the vector ({right arrow over (N_w)}). The vector ({right arrow over (X_w)}) may be an acceleration value in the direction of gravity identified through the acceleration sensor 513-1 in a state in which movement of the first wearable device 510 is not identified. Since the acceleration sensor 513-1 identifies acceleration in the direction of gravity, the vector ({right arrow over (X_w)}) may mean the acceleration value in the direction of gravity.

For example, the vector ({right arrow over (X_w)}) may be divided into a vector ({right arrow over (P_w)}) and a vector ({right arrow over (S_w)}). The vector ({right arrow over (X_w)}) is configured as the following equation.

$\begin{matrix} \vec{X_{w}} = \vec{P_{w}} + \vec{S_{w}} & [Equation 1] \end{matrix}$

In Equation 1, the vector ({right arrow over (P_w)}) is configured as in Equation 2. The vector ({right arrow over (P_w)}) is a projection vector for the vector ({right arrow over (N_w)}) of the vector ({right arrow over (X_w)}). The vector ({right arrow over (S_w)}) is configured as in Equation 3.

$\begin{matrix} \vec{P_{w}} = (\vec{X_{w}} \cdot \vec{N_{w}}) \times \vec{N_{w}} & [Equation 2] \end{matrix}$

$\begin{matrix} \vec{S_{w}} = \vec{X_{w}} - \vec{P_{w}} & [Equation 3] \end{matrix}$

Referring to Equation 3, the vector ({right arrow over (S_w)}) is a component that belongs to a plane perpendicular to the vector ({right arrow over (N_w)}) among the vectors ({right arrow over (X_w)}).

The processor 511 may identify the first rotation angle (θ_w) between the vector ({right arrow over (S_w)}) and the vector ({right arrow over (G_w)}). The first rotation angle (θ_w) is configured as Equation 4.

$\begin{matrix} θ_{w} = \cos^{- 1} (\frac{\vec{S_{w}} \cdot \vec{G_{w}}}{❘ \vec{S_{w}} ❘ ❘ \vec{G_{w}} ❘}), 0 \leq ❘ θ_{w} ❘ \leq π & [Equation 4] \end{matrix}$

As described above, the processor 511 may identify the first rotation angle (θ_w). The first rotation angle (θ_w) may mean an angle rotated with respect to an axis corresponding to the direction of the vector ({right arrow over (N_w)}).

Referring to FIG. 8B, a processor 521 of a second wearable device 520 may identify data on three vectors, using an acceleration sensor 523-1 and/or a gyro sensor 523-2, to identify the second rotation angle of the second wearable device 520. The processor 521 may identify the three vectors to identify a second rotation angle of the second wearable device 520.

According to an embodiment, the processor 521 of the second wearable device 520 may identify a vector, a vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}), and a vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}). For example, a first vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}) is a unit vector facing toward the end (e.g., a nail direction) of a second part (e.g., a finger) of a user in a state in which the second wearable device 520 is worn on a second part of a body of the user (e.g., a finger). The vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}) is a unit vector in a downward direction of the second wearable device 520. For example, in the case that the second wearable device 520 is worn on the finger of the user in a normal wearing state, the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}) is a unit vector in the direction in which a palm of the finger faces. The vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}) may be perpendicular to the vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}). The vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) may be an acceleration value in the direction of gravity identified through the acceleration sensor 523-1 in the state in which movement of the second wearable device 520 is not identified. Since the acceleration sensor 523-1 identifies acceleration in the direction of gravity, the vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) may mean the acceleration value in the direction of gravity.

For example, the vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) may be divided into a vector ({right arrow over (P_r)}) and a vector ({right arrow over (S_r)}). The vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) is configured as the following equation.

$\begin{matrix} \vec{X_{r}} = \vec{P_{r}} + \vec{S_{r}} & [Equation 5] \end{matrix}$

In Equation 5, the vector ({right arrow over (P_r)}) is configured as Equation 6. The vector ({right arrow over (P_r)}) is a projection vector for the vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}) of the vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}). The vector ({right arrow over (S_r)}) is configured as Equation 7.

$\begin{matrix} \vec{P_{r}} = (\vec{X_{r}} \cdot \vec{N_{r}}) \times \vec{N_{r}} & [Equation 6] \end{matrix}$

$\begin{matrix} \vec{S_{r}} = \vec{X_{r}} - \vec{P_{r}} & [Equation 7] \end{matrix}$

Referring to Equation 7, the vector ({right arrow over (S_r)}) is a component that belongs to a plane perpendicular to the vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}) among the vectors ({right arrow over (X_r)}).

The processor 521 may identify the second rotation angle (θ_r) between the vector ({right arrow over (S_r)}) and the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}). The second rotation angle (θ_r) is configured as Equation 8.

$\begin{matrix} θ_{r} = \cos^{- 1} (\frac{\vec{S_{r}} \cdot \vec{G_{r}}}{❘ \vec{S_{r}} ❘ ❘ \vec{G_{r}} ❘}), 0 \leq ❘ θ_{r} ❘ \leq π & [Equation 8] \end{matrix}$

As described above, the processor 511 may identify the second rotation angle (θ_r). The second rotation angle (θ_r) may mean an angle rotated with respect to an axis corresponding to the direction of the vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}).

Referring to FIGS. 8A and 8B, the processor 511 (or the processor 521) may synchronize the vector ({right arrow over (N_w)}) and the vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}). The processor 511 may configure the vector ({right arrow over (N_w)}) and the vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}) to be the same. The processor 511 may synchronize the vector ({right arrow over (G_w)}) and the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}). The processor 511 may configure the vector ({right arrow over (G_w)}) and the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}) to be the same.

After the vector ({right arrow over (N_w)}) and the vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}) are synchronized, and the vector ({right arrow over (G_w)}) and the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}) are synchronized, the processor 511 may identify the first rotation angle (θ_w) and the second rotation angle (θ_r). Based on a difference between the first rotation angle (θ_w) and the second rotation angle (θ_r), the processor 511 may identify a size of angle by which the second wearable device 520 is rotated on the second part of the body of the user from the normal wearing state of the second wearable device 520.

As described above, an operation of the processor 511 for synchronizing the vector ({right arrow over (N_w)}) and the vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}) and synchronizing the vector ({right arrow over (G_w)}) and the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}) will be described later in FIG. 15.

Hereinafter, in FIGS. 9 to 13, an example of the first rotation angle (θ_w) and the second rotation angle (θ_r) identified according to movement (e.g., movement of the wrist or movement of the finger of the user) of the user may be described. In embodiments described below, based on the synchronization procedure described later in FIG. 15, the vector ({right arrow over (N_w)}) and the vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}) may be configured to be the same (or similar). Based on the synchronization procedure described later in FIG. 15, the vector ({right arrow over (G_w)}) and the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}) may be configured to be the same (or similar).

FIG. 9 illustrates an example of a first rotation angle and a second rotation angle according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 9, a first wearable device 510 may be worn on a wrist of a user. A second wearable device 520 may be worn on a finger (e.g., an index finger) of the user. The user may perform a posture 900 in a state in which the first wearable device 510 and the second wearable device 520 are worn.

In the posture 900, a vector ({right arrow over (N_w)}), a vector ({right arrow over (G_w)}), and a vector ({right arrow over (X_w)}) of the first wearable device 510 may be identified. The vector ({right arrow over (X_w)}) may be perpendicular to the vector ({right arrow over (N_w)}). The vector ({right arrow over (X_w)}) may be parallel to the vector ({right arrow over (G_w)}). Accordingly, the first rotation angle (θ_w) may be 0 degree (or an angle range corresponding to 0 degree).

In the posture 900, a vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}), a vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}), and a vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) of the second wearable device 520 may be identified. The vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) may be perpendicular to the vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}). The vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) may be parallel to the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}). Accordingly, the second rotation angle (θ_r) may be 0 degree (or an angle range corresponding to 0 degree).

In the posture 900, the difference between the first rotation angle (θ_w) and the second rotation angle (θ_r) may be configured as Equation 9 below.

$\begin{matrix} ❘ θ_{w} - θ_{r} ❘ = 0 ° & [Equation 9] \end{matrix}$

Referring to FIG. 9, the processor 511 may receive, from the second wearable device 520, information on orientation of the second wearable device 520 including the second rotation angle (θ_r). The processor 511 may identify the first rotation angle (θw) of the first wearable device 510. The processor 511 may identify the difference between the first rotation angle (θ_w) and the second rotation angle (θ_r) as 0 degree in the posture 900.

According to an embodiment, the processor 511 of the first wearable device 510 may receive data on the vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}), data on the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}), and data on the vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) from the second wearable device 520. The processor 511 may identify the second rotation angle (θ_r) based on data on the vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}), data on the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}), and data on the vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}). The processor 511 may identify a difference between the identified second rotation angle (θ_r) and the first rotation angle (θ_w) as 0 degree.

FIG. 10 illustrates an example of a first rotation angle and a second rotation angle according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 10, a first wearable device 510 may be worn on a wrist of a user. A second wearable device 520 may be worn on a finger (e.g., an index finger) of the user. The user may perform a posture 1020 in a state in which the first wearable device 510 and the second wearable device 520 are worn. The posture 1020 may include the posture changed according to movement of the wrist in a posture 1010. The posture 1020 may include the posture in which a hand is moved (or rotated) according to a direction 1011 in the posture 1010. For example, the posture 1010 may correspond to a posture 900 illustrated in FIG. 9.

In the posture 1020, a vector ({right arrow over (N_w)}), a vector ({right arrow over (G_w)}), and a vector ({right arrow over (X_w)}) of the first wearable device 510 may be identified. The vector ({right arrow over (X_w)}) may be perpendicular to the vector ({right arrow over (N_w)}). The vector ({right arrow over (X_w)}) may be parallel to the vector ({right arrow over (G_w)}). Accordingly, the first rotation angle (θ_w) may be 0 degree (or an angle range corresponding to 0 degree).

In the posture 1010, a vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}), a vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}), and a vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) of the second wearable device 520 may be identified. The vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) may be perpendicular to the vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}). The vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) may be parallel to the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}). Accordingly, the second rotation angle (θ_r) may be 0 degree (or an angle range corresponding to 0 degree).

Since the posture 1010 corresponds to the posture 900 illustrated in FIG. 9, in the posture 1010, the difference between the first rotation angle (θ_w) and the second rotation angle (θ_r) may be configured as equation below.

$\begin{matrix} ❘ θ_{w} - θ_{r} ❘ = 0 ° & [Equation 10] \end{matrix}$

As a hand of the user moves according to the direction 1011, at least one of the vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}), the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}), and the vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) may be changed. For example, as the hand of the user moves (or rotates) according to the direction 1011, the second wearable device 520 may also move (or rotate) according to the direction 1011. Based on movement of the second wearable device 520 according to the direction 1011, the vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}) may be changed to a vector ({right arrow over (N′_r)}). Based on movement of the second wearable device 520 according to the direction 1011, the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}) and the vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) may be maintained. For example, based on movement of the second wearable device 520 according to the direction 1011, a plane formed by the vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}) and the vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) may move. For example, based on movement of the second wearable device 520 according to the direction 1011, an angle between the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}) and the vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) may be maintained.

The posture 1020, a vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}), a vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}), and a vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) of the second wearable device 520 may be identified. The vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) may be perpendicular to the vector ({right arrow over (N′_r)}). The vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) may be parallel to the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}). Accordingly, the second rotation angle (θ_r) may be 0 degree (or an angle range corresponding to 0 degree).

In the posture 1020, the difference between the first rotation angle (θ_w) and the second rotation angle (θ_r) may be configured as equation below.

$\begin{matrix} ❘ θ_{w} - θ_{r} ❘ = 0 ° & [Equation 11] \end{matrix}$

Referring to FIG. 10, a processor 511 may receive, from the second wearable device 520, information on orientation of the second wearable device 520 including the second rotation angle (θ_r). The processor 511 may identify the first rotation angle (θ_w) of the first wearable device 510. The processor 511 may identify the difference between the first rotation angle (θ_w) and the second rotation angle (θ_r) as 0 degree in the posture 1020. Even in the case that the posture of the user changes from the posture 1010 to the posture 1020, the difference between the first rotation angle (θ_w) and the second rotation angle (θ_r) may be identified as 0 degree.

According to an embodiment, the processor 511 of the first wearable device 510 may receive data on the vector ({right arrow over (N′_r)}), data on the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}), and data on the vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) from the second wearable device 520. The processor 511 may identify the second rotation angle (θ_r) based on data on the vector ({right arrow over (N′_r)}), data on the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}), and data on the vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}). The processor 511 may identify a difference between the identified second rotation angle (θ_r) and the first rotation angle (θ_w) as 0 degree.

FIG. 11 illustrates an example of a first rotation angle and a second rotation angle according to an embodiment.

Referring to 11, a first wearable device 510 may be worn on a wrist of a user. A second wearable device 520 may be worn on a finger (e.g., an index finger) of the user. The user may perform a posture 1100 in a state in which the first wearable device 510 and the second wearable device 520 are worn. The posture 1100 may mean the posture in which a hand of the user is moved upward (e.g., in a z-axis direction). The posture 1100 may mean the posture in which only the finger is moved upward in the state in which the wrist of the user is fixed.

In the posture 1100, a vector ({right arrow over (N_w)}), a vector ({right arrow over (G_w)}), and a vector ({right arrow over (X_w)}) of the first wearable device 510 may be identified. The vector ({right arrow over (X_w)}) may be perpendicular to the vector ({right arrow over (N_w)}). The vector ({right arrow over (X_w)}) may be parallel to the vector ({right arrow over (G_w)}). Accordingly, the first rotation angle (θ_w) may be 0 degree (or an angle range corresponding to 0 degree).

In the posture 1100, a vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}), a vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}), and a vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) of the second wearable device 520 may be identified. The vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) may be divided into a vector ({right arrow over (P_r)}) and a vector ({right arrow over (S_r)}) as, for example, vector components of the vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}). The vector ({right arrow over (P_r)}) is a projection vector for the vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}) of the vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}). According to Equation 6 described above, the vector ({right arrow over (P_r)}) may be identified. According to Equation 7 described above, the vector ({right arrow over (S_r)}) may be identified. The vector ({right arrow over (S_r)}) may be parallel to the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}). Accordingly, the second rotation angle (θ_r) may be 0 degree (or an angle range corresponding to 0 degree).

In the posture 1100, a difference between the first rotation angle (θ_w) and the second rotation angle (θ_r) may be configured as equation below.

$\begin{matrix} ❘ θ_{w} - θ_{r} ❘ = 0 ° & [Equation 12] \end{matrix}$

Referring to FIG. 11, a processor 511 may receive, from the second wearable device 520, information on orientation of the second wearable device 520 including the second rotation angle (θ_r). The processor 511 may identify the first rotation angle (θ_w) of the first wearable device 510. The processor 511 may identify the difference between the first rotation angle (θ_w) and the second rotation angle (θ_r) as 0 degree in the posture 1100.

For example, even in the case that the posture of the user changes from a posture 900 illustrated in FIG. 9 to the posture 1100, a plane formed by the vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}) and the vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) may not be changed. Accordingly, an angle between the vector ({right arrow over (S_r)}) and the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}) may be maintained as 0 degree.

According to an embodiment, the processor 511 of the first wearable device 510 may receive data on the vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}) data on the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}), and data on the vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) from the second wearable device 520. The processor 511 may identify the second rotation angle (θ_r) data on the vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}), data on the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}), data on the vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}). The processor 511 may identify a difference between the identified second rotation angle (θ_r) and the first rotation angle (θ_w) as 0 degree.

FIG. 12 illustrates an example of a first rotation angle and a second rotation angle according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 12, a first wearable device 510 may be worn on a wrist of a user. A second wearable device 520 may be worn on a finger (e.g., an index finger) of the user. The user may perform a posture 1200 in a state in which the first wearable device 510 and the second wearable device 520 are worn. The posture 1200 may mean the posture in which a hand of the user is moved upward (e.g., in a z-axis direction) as illustrated in FIG. 11 and the hand of the user is moved (or rotated) according to a direction 1211. The posture 1200 may mean the posture in which only the finger is moved upward in the state in which the wrist of the user is fixed and the hand of the user is moved (or rotated) according to the direction 1211.

In the posture 1200, a vector ({right arrow over (N_w)}), a vector ({right arrow over (G_w)}), and a vector ({right arrow over (X_w)}) of the first wearable device 510 may be identified. The vector ({right arrow over (X_w)}) may be perpendicular to the vector ({right arrow over (N_w)}). The vector ({right arrow over (X_w)}) may be parallel to the vector ({right arrow over (G_w)}). Accordingly, the first rotation angle (θ_w) may be 0 degree (or an angle range corresponding to 0 degree).

In the posture 1200, a vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}), a vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}), and a vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) of the second wearable device 520 may be identified. The vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) may be divided into a vector ({right arrow over (P_r)}) and a vector ({right arrow over (S_r)}). The vector ({right arrow over (P_r)}) is a projection vector for the vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}) of the vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}). According to Equation 6 described above, the vector ({right arrow over (P_r)}) may be identified. According to Equation 7 described above, the vector ({right arrow over (S_r)}) may be identified. The second rotation angle (θ_r) between the vector ({right arrow over (S_r)}) and the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}) may be identified.

In the posture 1200, a difference between the first rotation angle (θ_w) and the second rotation angle (θ_r) may be configured as equation below.

$\begin{matrix} ❘ θ_{w} - θ_{r} ❘ = β° & [Equation 13] \end{matrix}$

Referring to FIG. 12, a processor 511 may receive, from the second wearable device 520, information on orientation of the second wearable device 520 including the second rotation angle (θ_r). The processor 511 may identify the first rotation angle (θ_w) of the first wearable device 510. The processor 511 may identify the difference between the first rotation angle (θ_w) and the second rotation angle (θ_r) as β (beta) degree in the posture 1200. For example, β (beta) degree may be identified as 90 degrees or less according to a wrist motion range of the user (or person).

FIG. 13 illustrates an example of a first rotation angle and a second rotation angle according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 13, a first wearable device 510 may be worn on a wrist of a user. A second wearable device 520 may be worn on a finger (e.g., an index finger) of the user. The user may perform a posture 1311 in a state in which the first wearable device 510 and the second wearable device 520 are worn. The posture 1311 may correspond to a posture 1100 illustrated in FIG. 11. While the posture of the user is maintained in the posture 1311, the posture (or a position, a direction) of the second wearable device 520 may be changed. The posture of the second wearable device 520 may be changed from a posture 1310 to a posture 1320. Based on the rotation of the second wearable device 520 in the direction 1312 in a state in which the second wearable device 520 is worn on the finger of the user, the posture of the second wearable device 520 may be changed from the posture 1310 to the posture 1320.

While the posture of the second wearable device 520 is the posture 1320, a vector ({right arrow over (N_w)}), a vector ({right arrow over (G_w)}), and a vector ({right arrow over (X_w)}) of the first wearable device 510 may be identified. The vector ({right arrow over (X_w)}) may be perpendicular to the vector ({right arrow over (N_w)}). The vector ({right arrow over (X_w)}) may be parallel to the vector ({right arrow over (G_w)}). Accordingly, the first rotation angle (θ_w) may be 0 degree (or an angle range corresponding to 0 degree).

While the posture of the second wearable device 520 is the posture 1320, a vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}), a vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}), and a vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) of the second wearable device 520 may be identified. The vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}) may be divided into a vector ({right arrow over (P_r)}) and a vector ({right arrow over (S_r)}). The vector ({right arrow over (P_r)}) is a projection vector for the vector ({right arrow over (N_r)}) of the vector ({right arrow over (X_r)}). According to Equation 6 described above, the vector ({right arrow over (P_r)}) may be identified. According to Equation 7 described above, the vector ({right arrow over (S_r)}) may be identified. The second rotation angle (θ_r) between the vector ({right arrow over (S_r)}) and the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}) may be identified.

While the posture of the second wearable device 520 is the posture 1320, a difference between the first rotation angle (θ_w) and the second rotation angle (θ_r) may be configured as equation below.

$\begin{matrix} ❘ θ_{w} - θ_{r} ❘ = α° & [Equation 14] \end{matrix}$

Referring to FIG. 13, a processor 511 may receive, from the second wearable device 520, information on orientation of the second wearable device 520 including the second rotation angle (θ_r). The processor 511 may identify the first rotation angle (θ_w) of the first wearable device 510. The processor 511 may identify the difference between the first rotation angle (θ_w) and the second rotation angle (θ_r) as α (alpha) degree in the posture 1320. For example, as the second wearable device 520 rotates on the finger of the user, a (alpha) degree may be identified as 180 degrees or less.

Referring to FIGS. 12 and 13, the first rotation angle (θ_w) and a second rotation angle (θ_r) may be identified, based on the posture of the user being the posture 1200 or the posture of the second wearable device 520 being the posture 1320. For example, since a range of motion of the wrist of the user (or person) is limited, the difference between the first rotation angle (θ_w) and the second rotation angle (θ_r) may be within a designated range while the posture of the user is the posture 1200. The difference between the first rotation angle (θ_w) and the second rotation angle (θ_r) identified while the posture of the second wearable device 520 is the posture 1320 may be outside the designated range. Accordingly, based on the difference between the first rotation angle (θ_w) and the second rotation angle (θ_r) of the second wearable device 520 being outside the designated range, the processor 511 (or processor 521) may identify that the second wearable device 520 has rotated in a state of being worn on the finger of the user. For example, the processor 511 (or processor 521) can determined that the second wearable device 520 has been rotated on the finger of the user, based on the difference between the first rotation angle (θ_w) and the second rotation angle (θ_r) of the second wearable device 520 being outside the designated range.

For example, the designated range may be configured as in the following equation.

$\begin{matrix} - γ° < θ_{w} - θ_{r} < δ° & [Equation 15] \end{matrix}$

Referring to Equation 15, the designated range may be changed based on the user. For example, based on a designated model (e.g., an artificial intelligence model) indicated by a plurality of parameters, the designated range may be identified. As an example, the processor 511 may train the designated model with (using) the first rotation angle (θ_w) and the second rotation angle (θ_r) identified, based on the wearing history of the first wearable device 510 and the second wearable device 520. The processor 511 may identify the designated range, based on an output value of the (trained) designated model. The designated model can be trained on training data having numerous (pairs of) values for the first rotation angle (θ_w) and the second rotation angle (θ_r) identified in order for algorithms to be trained when the difference between the first rotation angle (θ_w) of the first wearable device 510 and the second rotation angle (θ_r) of the second wearable device 520 are outside the designated range and within the designated range. As an example, the designated range may be identified, based on accuracy of biometric information. The processor 511 (or the processor 521 of the second wearable device 520) may identify the designated range, based on accuracy of data (or biometric information) obtained through a sensor 523 of the second wearable device 520.

For example, in Equation 15, γ (gamma) and δ (delta) may be configured as in the following equation.

$\begin{matrix} γ = δ = 90 ° & [Equation 16] \end{matrix}$

According to an embodiment, the processor 511 may identify that the second wearable device 520 is worn in an abnormal wearing state, based on the difference between the first rotation angle (θ_w) and the second rotation angle (θ_r) being outside the designated range. For example, based on the difference between the first rotation angle (θ_w) and the second rotation angle (θ_r) being outside the designated range, the processor 511 may identify that the second wearable device 520 is worn in a rotated state. In the case that the second wearable device 520 is worn in the rotated state, the position of the sensor 523 for obtaining data on a body of the user may operate in a changed state. In the case that the second wearable device 520 is worn in the rotated state, inaccurate data may be obtained. Accordingly, the processor 511 may provide a notification to guide the user to wear the second wearable device 520 in the normal wearing state. For example, the second wearable device 520 may include affordance (e.g., a groove, an electrode, a display, or an indicator) to guide the normal wearing state outside the second wearable device 520. The processor 511 may provide the notification to guide how to wear the second wearable device 520 through the affordance. As an example, the notification provided from the first wearable device 510 may include at least one of a screen including a user interface, a sound (e.g., voice), and/or vibration. The user may dispose (or arrange) the second wearable device 520 to operate in the normal wearing state through affordance. In response to the user rotating the second wearable device 520 to the normal wearing state, the processor 511 can notify the user that the second wearable device 520 has reached the normal wearing state, where the notification provided from the first wearable device 510 may include at least one of a screen including a user interface, a sound (e.g., voice), and/or vibration.

A specific example of the notification provided from the first wearable device 510 will be described later in FIG. 14.

FIG. 14 illustrates an example of a notification to guide changing a position or a direction of a second wearable device according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 14, in a state 1410, the second wearable device 520 may be in a state of being worn on a second part (e.g., a finger) of a body of a user. For example, the second wearable device 520 may be worn in an abnormal wearing state. The second wearable device 520 may be in a state of being rotated on the second part of the body of the user. Affordance 1401 on a housing of the second wearable device 520 may not be positioned in a direction in which the back of a hand faces, may not be positioned substantially center with the direction in which the back of the hand faces, etc.

The processor 511 of the first wearable device 510 may identify a difference between a first rotation angle of the first wearable device 510 and a second rotation angle of the second wearable device 520. The processor 511 may identify that the difference between the first rotation angle and the second rotation angle is outside a designated range (e.g., 0 degree to 90 degree).

According to an embodiment, the processor 511 may, based on identifying that the difference between the first rotation angle and the second rotation angle is outside the designated range (e.g., 0 degree to 90 degree), provide the notification to guide changing at least one of the position or the direction of the second wearable device 520.

For example, the processor 511 may display a screen 1411 through a display 515, based on identifying that the difference between the first rotation angle and the second rotation angle is outside the designated range (e.g., 0 degree to 90 degree). The processor 511 may display the screen 1411 including the user interface to guide changing at least one of the position or the direction of the second wearable device 520, based on identifying that the difference between the first rotation angle and the second rotation angle is outside the designated range (e.g., 0 degree to 90 degree).

For example, the screen 1411 may include a visual object 1412 representing a shape of the second wearable device 520 and text 1413 representing that the abnormal wearing of the second wearable device 520 is identified.

The processor 511 may display a screen 1421 after the screen 1411 is displayed. For example, the screen 1421 may be displayed based on the lapse of a designated time after the screen 1411 is displayed. Based on the lapse of the designated time after the screen 1411 is displayed, the processor 511 may change the screen displayed through the display 515 from the screen 1411 to the screen 1421. For example, the screen 1421 may be displayed based on an input to the screen 1411. The processor 511 may display the screen 1421, based on identifying the identified input (e.g., a touch input, an input to a button of the first wearable device 510) while the screen 1411 is being displayed. The processor 511 may display the screen 1421, based on detecting a change in the difference between the first rotation angle and the second rotation angle, but the difference between the first rotation angle and the second rotation angle still remains outside the designated range (e.g., 0 degree to 90 degree).

For example, the screen 1421 may include the visual object 1422 representing the shape and affordance of the second wearable device 520 and text 1423 to guide changing the position or the direction of the second wearable device 520. The visual object 1422 may be displayed to guide affordance of the second wearable device 520 to face the designated direction.

Although the affordance 1401 may be illustrated in a direction in which the back of hand faces, it should be noted that this is for explanation purposes and ease of understanding. The affordance 1401 can be designed in another direction for the normal wearing state according to one or more embodiments.

In state 1530, the processor 511 may display a screen 1531 to guide a posture of the user, based on identifying that the second wearable device 520 is worn in a designated position and direction.

During the posture 1534, the vector ({right arrow over (G_w)}) and the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}) illustrated in FIGS. 8A and 8B may be configured in the same (or a similar) direction. During the posture 1534, the vector ({right arrow over (G_w)}) and the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}) may be maintained in the direction of gravity. While the posture 1534 is maintained, the processor 511 may synchronize the vector ({right arrow over (G_w)}) with the vector ({right arrow over (G_r)}).
