[33] The external device includes a mobile phone or a personal digital assistant and an access point.
[34] FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of the body activity measurement device according to the embodiment of the present invention. The operation includes steps of detecting a device wearing state and a user's identification (fingerprint) (S30); determining if the wearing state and the user's identification are identical to the preset reference data (S31); returning to the initial state to detect the wearing state and the user's identification when the wearing state and the user's identification are not identical to the preset reference data or determining if the emergency occurs when the wearing state and the user's identification are identical to the preset reference data (S32); detecting the user's body activity, around environment variation, and bio signal when the no emergency occurs (S33); calculate the detected body activity, around environment variation, and bio signal (S34); transmitting the calculated values of the body activity, around environment variation, and bio signal to a medical center using the external device (S35); transmitting user's location information when the emergency occurs in step S32 (S36); requesting the medical center to response (S37).
[35] The user wears the main unit 10 on his/her wrist using the wristband 1 and operates the time button 4 formed on the main unit 10 so that the wearing state and the user identification can be identified by the detection part 14 of the detection unit 5.
[36] At this point, the detection part 14 detects the wearing state and the fingerprint for the user identification using the contact and image sensors and inputs the detected signals to the control part 18 (S30).
[37] Therefore, the control part 18 determines if the wearing state and the user identification are identical to the preset reference data by comparing the detected signals on the wearing state and the user identification with the preset reference data using the program stored in the memory 15 (S31).
[38] When it is determined that the wearing state and the user identification are not identical to the preset reference data, it is determined that the user does not wear the main unit 10 or other person wears the main unit and the operation returns to the initial state to stand by to identify the wearing state and user identification again.
[39] When it is determined that the wearing state and the user identification are identical to the preset reference data, the control part determines if a signal of the emergency switch 2 is inputted from the input part 11 (S32).
[40] At this point, when the signal of the emergency switch 2 is not inputted from the input part 11, it is determined that no emergency occurs and the control part 18 detects the user's current body activity, around environment, and bio signal using the acceleration detection part 13 and the detection part 14 of the detection unit 5.
[41] The body activity and the around environment (the temperature, humidity and light intensity) that are detected by the acceleration detection part 13 and the temperature and optical sensors of the detection part 14 are compared with the user's reference data stored in the memory 15 and the compared value is stored in the memory 15 and displayed as letters or numbers on the LCD 3 of the main unit 10 together with the time so that the user's current body activity and bio signal can be identified (S34).
[42] Then, the calculated body activity and around environment are transmitted to the mobile device or PDA through the communication module 19. At this point, the transmission is done using a wireless communication using the Zigbee or Blue tooth.
[43] The mobile device or PDA communicates with the preset medical center so that a doctor can examine the user's body activity and bio signal, on the basis of which the doctor treats the user (patient) or use the reference material for the next medical treatment. When the user is not the patient, the doctor advises the user to have a medical examination after identifying the bio signal transmitted, thereby preventing the disease.
[44] Meanwhile, when an emergency signal is inputted into the emergency switch of the main unit 10, the control part 18 notifies the emergency by generating sound or light through the audio device or lamp of the alarm output part 16 of the main unit 10 using the preset program and transmits the user's location information through the satellite by operating the location identification part 12 (S36). [45] In addition, the control part 18 notifies the emergency to the medical center through the communication module 19 using the mobile terminal or PDA (S37). [46] Accordingly, the medical center can identify the user's current location and perform the emergency treatment for the user.
