Abstract

An operating method of an electronic device may include detecting that a strap with a blood sugar measuring device has been connected to the electronic device, receiving blood sugar related data from the blood sugar measuring device, and executing a health application based on the received data.

Claims

1. An operating method of an electronic device comprising:

obtaining data from a blood sugar measuring device, wherein the blood sugar measuring device is coupled to a wrist strap connected to the electronic device;

executing a corresponding application based on the obtained data;

transmitting the data to a server via the executed application; and

receiving a response on the transmitted data from the server,

wherein a blood sugar measuring device generates the data from a blood applied thereto, and the operating method further comprising;

prompting a user to select whether to download the application associated with blood sugar with a guide message displaying on a display of the electronic device when it is detected that wrist strap is connected to the electronic device for a first time.

2. The operating method of claim 1, wherein the strap is replaceable.

3. The operating method of claim 1, wherein the blood sugar measuring device includes a strip used for blood collection.

4. The operating method of claim 3, wherein the strip is insertable in the blood measuring device.

5. The operating method of claim 1, wherein the data is transmitted to the electronic device wirelessly or in wired.

6. The operating method of claim 1, further comprising:

displaying, via the display of the electronic device, the response received from the server.

7. The operating method of claim 6, further comprising:

displaying, via the display, an alert message when the response includes that the data is higher than a set blood sugar level.

8. The operating method of claim 1, wherein the application comprises a blood sugar application.

9. An electronic device comprising:

a wrist strap connected to the electronic device;

a blood sugar measuring device coupled to the wrist strap, wherein the blood sugar measuring device generates data from a blood applied thereto; and

a processor configured to;

obtain the data from the blood sugar measuring device; and

executing a corresponding application based on the obtained data;

transmitting the data to a server via the executed application; and

receiving a response on the transmitted data from the server,

wherein the processor is further configured to prompt a user to select whether to download the application associated with a guide message displaying on a display of the electronic device when it is detected that the wrist strap is connected to the electronic device for a first time.

10. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the strap is replaceable.

11. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the blood sugar measuring device includes a strip used for blood collection.

12. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the strip is insertable in the blood measuring device.

13. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the data is transmitted to the electronic device wirelessly or in wired.

14. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the processor is further configured to display, via the display of the electronic device, the response received from the server.

15. The electronic device of claim 14, wherein the processor is further configured to display, via the display, an alert message when the response includes that the data is higher than a set blood sugar level.

16. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the application comprises a blood sugar application.
