Abstract

An electronic device includes a sensor, a memory, and a display, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine bio-information and blood pressure information of a user measured through the sensor, determine reliability of calibration of the blood pressure information, based on at least one of elapsed time of the calibration, the bio-information, and the blood pressure information, determine, based on the reliability of the calibration, whether an event associated with the calibration occurs, and display a user interface (UI) to request another calibration, through the display, when the event is determined to have occurred.

Claims (39)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a sensor;

a memory;

a display; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

determine bio-information and blood pressure information of a user measured through the sensor;

determine reliability of a first calibration of the blood pressure information, based on at least one of elapsed time of the first calibration, the bio-information, and the blood pressure information;

determine, based on the reliability of the first calibration, whether an event associated with the first calibration occurs;

display a user interface (UI) to request a second calibration, through the display, when the event is determined to have occurred,

display a place information associated with the second calibration on a city scale if the reliability of the first calibration is in a higher stage,

display the place information on a neighborhood scale if the reliability of the first calibration is in an intermediate stage, and

display a closest place from the electronic device associated with the second calibration or display a path from a current location of the electronic device to the closest place if the reliability of the first calibration is in a lower stage or if an expiration time point has come to pass,

wherein the expiration time point is a point when the reliability of the first calibration becomes zero.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

display the UI to request the second calibration through the display, when the reliability of the first calibration is less than a specified threshold value.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the specified threshold value includes a plurality of threshold values, and

wherein the processor is further configured to:

set the plurality of threshold values based on the reliability of the first calibration.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine the expiration time point of the first calibration, based on the reliability of the first calibration; and

display the UI to request the second calibration through the display, when the expiration time point of the first calibration comes to pass.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a communication module,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

measure a location of the electronic device through the communication module;

transmit information on the measured location to an external electronic device;

receive the place information related to the second calibration from the external electronic device; and

display the received place information through the display.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

set a radius for displaying the place information based on the reliability of the first calibration.

7. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

set a radius of a geo-fence around the electronic device based on the reliability of the first calibration.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

display, through the display, the blood pressure information of the user with a reliability section for representing the reliability; and

change a color, brightness, and/or a size of the reliability section based on the reliability.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the reliability of the first calibration is expressed through Equation 1,

R i =R i-1 −( w 1 Δt+w 2 Δbio-info+ w 3 ΔBPV )+ b ,and  Equation 1

wherein R i refers to a reliability of a present calibration, R i-1 refers to a reliability of a previous calibration, Δt refers to a difference between a first time point corresponding to R i-1 and a second time point corresponding to R i , w 1 refers to a weight applied to Δt, Δbio-info refers to a variation in the bio-information, w 2 refers to a weight applied to the Δbio-info, ΔBPV refers to a variation in the blood pressure information, w 3 refers to a weight applied to the ΔBPV, and b refers to a bias.
