Abstract

An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device includes a case and a battery cover forming an appearance of the electronic device and a printed circuit board mounted inside the case and provided with electronic elements. A measurement sensor is mounted on at least a portion of the printed circuit board. One surface of a recess of the printed circuit board, on which the measurement sensor is mounted, is formed at a different height from other portion of the printed circuit board in a thickness direction of the electronic device. The recess, on which the measurement sensor is mounted, is thinner than the other portion and is spaced apart from the other portion, and thus the electronic device can more accurately measure a body temperature of a user.

Claims (31)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a case having a surface and providing an inner space;

a printed circuit board (PCB) in the case, the PCB facing the surface and spaced apart from the surface, and the PCB having a first side and a second side facing each other;

a measurement sensor positioned between the surface and the PCB and mounted on the PCB; and

an insulating wall extending along a periphery of the measurement sensor, coupled to the PCB and adjacent the measurement sensor,

wherein the PCB includes a recess, and a gap between the first side and the second side in the recess is smaller than the gap between the first side and the second side area excluding the recess,

wherein a plurality wires are mounted in the PCB, and among the plurality wires only wires connected to the measurement sensor are mounted in the recess,

wherein the measurement sensor is positioned in the recess,

wherein the case includes a lens positioned corresponding to the measurement sensor in the form of a convex lens, and

wherein the measurement sensor includes:

a first measurement sensor measuring a heart rate; and

a second measurement sensor measuring a body temperature, and

wherein the lens includes a protrusion positioned corresponding to the second measurement sensor.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a height of the insulating wall is higher than a height of the measurement sensor.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a battery cover covering the surface of the case.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the measurement sensor is spaced apart from the other portion of the PCB and is positioned in a central portion of the recess.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the insulating wall is spaced apart from the other portion of the PCB.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the insulating wall includes a through hole, and

wherein the measurement sensor is positioned in the through hole.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the insulating wall is positioned in the recess.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the insulating wall includes an insulating material.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the insulating wall includes silica aerogel.

10. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the lens includes a different material from another portion of the case.

11. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the lens includes a material transmitting infrared light.

12. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the protrusion protrudes toward the second measurement sensor.

13. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the protrusion protrudes toward an outside of the electronic device.

14. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first measurement sensor and the second measurement sensor are spaced apart from each other.

15. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second measurement sensor includes:

a thermopile converting infrared light into an electromotive force; and

an amplifier spaced apart from the thermopile and amplifying the electromotive force.

16. The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the thermopile is spaced apart from the case.
