ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING BODY-CONTACTABLE ELECTRODE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18224870 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING BODY-CONTACTABLE ELECTRODE

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes an electronic device that includes a main body, a display, an electrode, and a processor. The device is designed to measure an electrical value through the electrode and determine whether to control the device's performance based on this value.

  • The device includes a main body, a display, an electrode, and a processor.
  • The electrode is in contact with the user's body and measures an electrical value.
  • The processor compares this value to a preconfigured control-requiring value to determine if the device's performance needs to be controlled.
  • The electrical value is classified into two ranges: a first range and a second range.
  • If the electrical value is within the first range, the device's performance is controlled to a first level.
  • If the electrical value is within the second range, the device's performance is controlled to a second level, which is relatively lower than the first level.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device includes a main body; a display; an electrode positioned in the main body to be in contact with a body of a user; and a processor operatively connected to the display and the electrode, wherein the processor is configured to: identify an electrical value measured through the electrode, determine whether to control a performance of the electronic device by comparing the electrical value and a preconfigured control-requiring value, identify whether the electrical value is within at least one of a first range and a second range which are classified and configured in advance, based on identifying that the electrical value is within the first range, control the performance of the electronic device to a first level, and based on identifying that the electrical value is within the second range, control the performance of the electronic device to a second level, and wherein the performance of the electronic device controlled to the second level is relatively lower than the performance of the electronic device controlled to the first level.
