WEARABLE DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MEASURING USER'S PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

摘要

Provided are a wearable device and a method for measuring a user's physical activity. The wearable device, which is a device wearable on a user's body, comprises: at least one acceleration sensor; and a control unit for measuring a user's physical activity related to walking by using acceleration data in a three-axis direction, the data being detected by the at least one acceleration sensor, wherein the control unit compares a variation amount of acceleration data in a first-axis direction with a variation amount of acceleration data in a second-axis direction so as to determine a user's wearing-state, measures the user's physical activity by using a first algorithm in a first wearing-state, and measures the user's physical activity by using a second algorithm in a second wearing-state.
