DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. In order to clearly illustrate the present invention, parts not related to the description are omitted, and similar parts are denoted by like reference characters throughout the specification.
Throughout the specification, when a part is referred to as being "connected" (connected, connected, coupled) with another part, it is not only the case where it is "directly connected" "Is included. Also, when an element is referred to as "comprising ", it means that it can include other elements, not excluding other elements unless specifically stated otherwise.
The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. In this specification, the terms "comprises" or "having" and the like refer to the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof, But do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof.

By acquiring the biometric information of such an object, it is possible to grasp the state more precisely than the state measurement of the object using the surrounding information. For example, it is advantageous to accurately detect the state of an object by directly grasping the activity status of the object by the wearable device, as compared with the case where the activity state of the object is grasped through the video information of the surveillance camera or the like. It becomes possible to more quickly and accurately grasp whether the object is in an emergency situation.
In addition, in the case of direct object-by-object sensing as in the present invention, it is possible to obtain more various state information that could not be obtained by the object state measurement using the conventional surrounding information. For example, it is possible to determine a fall or the like by sensing an acceleration or a jerk in a part of the body, and it is possible to precisely discriminate whether the current user is inactive due to death or accident, .
The risk or emergency situation in the present invention may be a death or an accident of a user, in particular, a fall accident, a fall accident, a burial accident, a fainting, and the like, but it is not limited thereto.
Meanwhile, the
Also, the
As described above, when two or more acceleration sensors are disposed apart from each other to sense biometric information of an individual, activity amount or activity state information can be obtained more variously and precisely. For example, by using the relative positional difference between the first and
