Here, the external device 1200 can transmit a warning output control signal to the electronic device 100 step by step, so that the electronic device 100 can transmit a warning message to the user step by step.

For example, if the diagnostic item selected by the user is the diabetes diagnosis item, the external device 1200 transmits guide information on the blood glucose measurement module and the blood pressure measurement module related to diagnosis of diabetes to the electronic device 100, When the module is fastened to the electronic device 100, the external device 1200 judges that another measurement module irrespective of diabetes diagnosis is concluded in the electronic device 100 through the identification information of the received temperature measurement module, To the electronic device 100, a primary warning output control signal for controlling the LED of the display device 100 to emit light in a predetermined color. Then, the electronic device 100 can control so that the provided LED is emitted in a predetermined color based on the received primary warning output control signal. For example, the electronic device 100 can control the LED to emit red when another measurement module is fastened to the electronic device 100, and when the correct measurement module is fastened to the electronic device 100, It can be controlled to emit light.

However, when the user moves the electronic device 100 to start the measurement using the body temperature measurement module coupled to the electronic device 100 without being aware that the LED is currently being emitted in a predetermined color, 100 may determine movement of the electronic device 100 through the provided acceleration sensor and transmit information about the acceleration sensor value to the external device 1200. [

The external device 1200 judges that the user is using another measurement module irrespective of the diagnosis of diabetes based on the information about the received acceleration sensor value and outputs a secondary warning output for controlling the electronic device 100 to output the vibration And transmit control signals to the electronic device 100. Then, the electronic device 100 can control to output the vibration through the provided vibration motor based on the received secondary warning output control signal.

As described above, the electronic device 100 can guide the user to select and use an accurate measurement module continuously by providing a warning message to the user step by step.
