It provides feedback so that users can manage their posture through stored data.
- the posture correcting wearable earphone device 100 includes a sensor unit for measuring a posture of a head or an upper part of the head, and a sensor unit for measuring a posture of a neck or a lower part of the neck, and thus, in more various postures. Sophisticated detection of neck posture.
- the posture correcting wearable earphone device 100 supports a mode in which each sensor unit can selectively use a single action or a complex action, as necessary, to change the form or wearing method.
- the posture correction operation can be performed in more various situations.
- the posture correcting wearable earphone device 100 provides a sound device 131, a display device 132, and a tactile device 133 to a user when an incorrect posture is maintained or when a certain time is maintained. ), A user can be notified by selecting an appropriate method, and through communication with other electronic device 180, the user's posture can be more effectively maintained, analyzed and managed.
