Abstract

An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device of the present invention comprises a body; a head being extended from the body, the head including an internal space for accommodating; a light transmission circle being formed on the head; and a measurement module being installed in the internal space of the head, the measurement module facing the light transmission circle, wherein the measurement module includes: a plurality of first light source providing the light transmission circle with light for speckle imaging; a image sensor being positioned between the light transmission circle and the plurality of first light sources, the image sensor being spaced apart from the plurality of first light sources, the image sensor facing the light transmission circle; and a lens covering the image sensor, the lens being positioned between the image sensor and the light transmission circle.

Claims (25)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a body;

a head extended from the body, the head including an internal space for accommodating;

a light transmission circle formed on the head; and

a measurement module installed in the internal space of the head,

wherein the measurement module includes:

a plurality of first light sources providing the light transmission circle with light for speckle imaging;

an image sensor positioned between the light transmission circle and the plurality of first light sources, the image sensor being spaced apart from the plurality of first light sources; and

a lens covering the image sensor, the lens being positioned between the image sensor and the light transmission circle,

wherein the light transmission circle passes light emitted from the plurality of first light sources to an object and reflected from the object to the measurement module,

wherein the plurality of first light sources include at least three first light sources and two of the at least three first light sources are each disposed at two corners in the internal space and one of the at least three first light sources is disposed between the two of the at least three first light sources, and

wherein the at least three first light sources are disposed around the image sensor in a triangular shape when viewed from the front of the electronic device so that each of the at least three first light sources corresponds to each vertice of a triangle.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a second light source providing the light transmission circle with light for photographing an image.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the second light source includes a plurality of second light sources, and

wherein the plurality of second light sources provide the light transmission circle with at least one of ultraviolet light, visible light, and near-infrared light.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first light sources are laser diodes.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of first light sources provide light with a wavelength different from each other.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of first light sources forms an irradiation axis which is angled with respect to an optical axis of the lens.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first light sources provide the light transmission circle with ultraviolet light and near-infrared light.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the head includes:

a contact portion formed around the light transmission circle; and

at least one electrode positioned on the contract contact portion.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a display on the body, wherein the display is configured to display user's skin indicator measured by the measurement module.

10. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a wireless communication unit installed in the body,

wherein the wireless communication unit transmits the user's skin indicator to another electronic device.
