Abstract

Provided is a wearable device. The wearable device is configured to identify first profile information corresponding to an external electronic device. The wearable device is configured to request second profile information that is browsable by the user, from the external electronic device. The wearable device is configured to change the first profile information based on the first profile information and the second profile information received from the external electronic device. The wearable device is configured to display, through a display, at least a portion of the changed first profile information in the FoV.

change the first profile information based on the first profile information and the second profile information received from the external electronic device, and

display, through the display, at least a portion of the changed first profile information in the FoV,

transmit, to the external electronic device, third profile information corresponding to the user, based on a first state of the external electronic device in which the communication link is established,

identify a change in a state of the user, based on the sensors, and

store, in the memory, state information indicating whether to update the first profile information to the third profile information, based on the change in the state of the user, and

based on an input indicating an update of the third profile information, change the third profile inform on based on the state information and a second state of the external electronic device in which the communication link is released.

2. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the wearable device to:

establish the communication link, based on identifying the external electronic device included in the FoV, in the second state; and

transmit, the changed third profile information, to the external electronic device.

3. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensors comprise a heart rate sensor and a body temperature sensor, and

wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the wearable device to:

identify, using the body temperature sensor, a body temperature of the user which is equal to or greater than a first threshold value,

while identifying the body temperature of the user, identify, using the heart rate sensor, a heart rate of the user which is equal to or greater than a second threshold, and

identify the change in the state of the user, based on at least one of the body temperature of the user or the heart rate of the user.

4. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the user is a first user,

wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the wearable device to:

transmit the third profile information corresponding to a second user logged in to the external electronic device.

5. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the user is a first user, and the first profile information includes information on a second user logged in to the external electronic device, and

wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the wearable device to:

identify at least one of personality information, body information, appearance information, or relationship information between the first user and the second user, based on the first profile information.

6. The wearable device of claim 5 , wherein the second profile information comprises the first profile information and information on the second user browsable by the first user.

7. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the wearable device to:

request the second profile information corresponding to the user, to the external electronic device.

8. The wearable device of claim 7 , wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the wearable device to:

display at least a portion of the changed first profile information in the FoV, through the display, by overlapping the wearable device.

9. A method of a wearable device comprising:

establishing a communication link between the wearable device and an external electronic device based on identifying the external electronic device in a field-of-view (FoV) corresponding to a camera of the wearable device and shown to a first user wearing the wearable device;

transmitting, to the external electronic device, first profile information corresponding to a second user logged in to the external electronic device, based on a first state of the wearable device in which the communication link is established;

identifying a change in a state of the first user, based on one or more sensors of the wearable device; and

storing, in memory, state information indicating whether to update the first profile information, based on the change in the state of the first user; and

changing the first profile information, in response to an input indicating an update of the first profile information, based on the state information, in a second state of the wearable device in which the communication link is released.

10. The method of claim 9 , comprising:

identifying second profile information corresponding to the external electronic device,

requesting third profile information browsable by the first user to the external electronic device,

changing the second profile information, based on the third profile information received from the external electronic device and the second profile information; and

displaying at least a portion of the changed second profile information in the FoV through a display of the wearable device.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the one or more sensors comprise a heart rate sensor and a body temperature sensor, the method comprising:

identifying a body temperature of the first user, which is equal to or greater than a first threshold value, using the body temperature sensor;

while identifying the body temperature of the first user, identifying a heart rate of the first user, which is equal to or greater than a second threshold, using the heart rate sensor; and

identifying the change in the state of the first user, based on at least one of the body temperature of the first user or the heart rate of the first user.

12. The method of claim 9 , comprising:

establishing the communication link, based on identifying the external electronic device included in the FoV, in the second state; and

transmitting, the changed first profile information, to the external electronic device.
