Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a method and device that includes a touch sensor, an inertial sensor, a biometric sensor, a communication module, a memory, and a processor. The touch sensor is located on the outside of a housing and has touch interfaces for different areas. The inertial sensor has a specific sensor axis. The biometric sensor is located inside the housing. The communication module includes communication circuitry. The memory stores the angle corresponding to the touch detection range for each touch interface. The processor is connected to all the components and is responsible for detecting if the wearable device is being worn using the biometric sensor or the inertial sensor. It also receives touch information from the touch interfaces, calibrates the sensor axis of the inertial sensor based on the touch information, obtains sensing information from the inertial sensor, and calculates position information based on the calibrated sensor axis.


Original Abstract Submitted

Various embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method and device, the device comprising: a touch sensor disposed adjacent to the outside of a housing and including touch interfaces for a plurality of areas; an inertial sensor having a set sensor axis; a biometric sensor disposed adjacent to the inside of the housing; a communication module comprising communication circuitry; a memory which maps and stores an angle corresponding to a touch detection range of each touch interface of the touch sensor; and a processor operatively connected to the touch sensor, the inertial sensor, the biometric sensor, the communication module, and the memory. The processor is configured to: detect whether a wearable device is worn using the biometric sensor and/or the inertial sensor; receive touch information from at least one of the plurality of touch interfaces included in the touch sensor; calibrate the sensor axis of the inertial sensor based on the touch information; obtain sensing information from the inertial sensor; and calculate position information from the sensing information based on the calibrated sensor axis.
