Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a terminal, and more particularly to a terminal and a method for providing health content. A method of providing health content using health information, includes receiving at least one piece of health information, comparing the received at least one piece of health information with a threshold value, and providing health content for a user to lessen a difference between the at least one piece of health information and the threshold value.

Claims

1. A method for providing health data in an electronic device, the method comprising:

receiving, by a communication interface of the electronic device, first biometric values of a user and environment information related to the user;

determining, by a processor of the electronic device, a difference between the first biometric values and second biometric values of a standard body shape;

generating, by the processor, a control signal for changing at least one environment value measured in an interior, based on the environment information, wherein the at least one environment value includes a temperature, a humidity, or an ultraviolet ray index;

displaying, by the processor, health data on a display of the electronic device by guiding, to the user, an exercise method, a game, a recommended sleeping time, ventilation information, or information about a recommended hospital for decreasing the difference; and

transmitting, by the communication interface, the control signal to at least one appliance in the interior such that an operation for changing the temperature, the humidity or the ultraviolet ray index is executed by the at least one appliance in response to the control signal.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the health data is further outputted through a speaker of the electronic device.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first biometric values comprise a blood pressure value, a blood sugar value, a pulse value, a human body fat value, a weight value, an atopy state, an asthma state, a stress state, an organic composite substance value due to and exhalation of the user, or a height of the user.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one appliance includes an air conditioner, a humidifier or an air cleaner.

5. An electronic device for providing health data, the electronic device comprising:

a display;

a communication interface configured to receive first biometric values of a user and environment information related to the user; and

a processor configured to;

determine a difference between the first biometric values and second biometric values of a standard body shape,

generate a control signal for changing at least one environment value measured in an interior, based on the environment information, wherein the at least one environment value includes a temperature, a humidity, or an ultraviolet ray index,

control the display to display health data by guiding, to a user of the electronic device, an exercise method, a game, a recommended sleeping time, ventilation information, or information about a recommended hospital for decreasing the difference, and

control the communication interface to transmit the control signal to at least one appliance in the interior such that an operation for changing the temperature, the humidity or the ultraviolet ray index is executed by the at least one appliance in response to the control signal.

6. The electronic device of claim 5, wherein the processor is further configured to:

transmit the health data to a portable terminal, a gateway, one or more sensors for measuring biometric values of the user, or a server.

7. The electronic device of claim 5, further comprising:

a camera configured to detect a movement of the user, wherein the processor is further configured to calculate a calorie consumed through the movement of the user.

8. The electronic device of claim 5, the health data is further outputted through a speaker of the electronic device.

9. The electronic device of claim 5, wherein the at least one appliance includes an air conditioner, a humidifier or an air cleaner.
