As shown in Table 2, when the sync mode SW4-2 is set in the first mode selector 430 and the normal mode SW5-0 is set in the second mode selector 440, the memory unit 460 Each memory bank of the can be synchronized by receiving data input from an external device.

Specifically, the control unit 500 may control the communication unit 450 to communicate with an external device (not shown). Accordingly, after receiving the bank data input from the external device in the control unit 500 through the communication unit 450 , it can be transmitted to the memory unit 460 . In this case, each of the memory banks Bank0 to Bank4 of the memory unit 460 may receive and synchronize the data transmitted from the external device.

For example, data may be received from Bank0, and as the first manipulation unit 210, SW1 and the second manipulation unit 220, SW2 are pushed at the same time, the order of Bank0 to Bank4 may be changed and cycled. At this time, the confirmation of the memory banks Bank0 to Bank4 can be confirmed through the blinking color of the light emitting unit 300 .

In addition, each of the memory units Bank0 to Bank4 may receive and synchronize only the data of each of the external devices Bank0 to Bank4.

Specifically, the brightness, blinking speed, and color data of the light emitting part are input to each of the memory banks Bank0 to Bank4. In addition, as the first manipulation unit 210, SW1 and the second manipulation unit 220, SW2 are pushed at the same time, the order of Bank0 to Bank4 is changed, and a desired bank can be selected. At this time, the confirmation of the memory banks Bank0 to Bank4 can be confirmed through the blinking color of the light emitting unit 300 .

Accordingly, the control unit 500 transmits only the data input to the selected bank to the first and second light emission control units 400 and 410, and the first and second light emission control units 400 and 410 emit light according to the data condition of the selected bank. The unit 300 is operated.

As shown in Table 4, when the programming mode SW5-2 is set in the second mode selector 440, any one of the plurality of memory banks Bank1 to Ban4 is selected and generated by the optical receiver 470 One external light source blinking pattern data can be input.

Specifically, as the second manipulation unit 220, SW2 is operated, the order of Bank1 to Bank4 is changed, and a desired memory bank can be selected. In this case, the confirmation of the memory banks Bank1 to Bank4 can be confirmed through the blinking color of the light emitting unit 300 .

Thereafter, when the user illuminates the external light source in a specific pattern to the light receiving unit 470 , the light receiving unit 470 may generate blinking pattern data of the external light source. Accordingly, the controller 500 may store the blinking pattern data in the selected memory bank.

That is, by enabling the user to set a desired blinking pattern in various ways through the programming mode SW5-2, the range of application of the peer identification device 1 can be widened.

Meanwhile, the peer identification device 1 may include a collection unit 480 and a determination unit 490 .

For example, the measuring device may be a wearable device such as a smart band, a necklace, and a ring that can be mounted on a user's body. As another example, the measuring device and the peer identification device 1 may be in a paired state through Bluetooth communication.

Accordingly, the measuring device may measure the heart rate of the user at a predetermined period and transmit the measured heart rate data to the collection unit 480 .

The determination unit 490 may compare the heart rate data of the user collected by the collection unit 480 with a preset heart rate normal range to determine whether the user's heart rate data falls within the normal heart rate range. At this time, when the determination unit 490 determines that the heart rate data of the user falls within the normal heart rate range, the determination signal is not transmitted to the control unit 500.
