Abstract

Disclosed herein is a wearable device. A blood alcohol level of a user is measured in real time, and information about the location of the user is measured. When the blood alcohol level of the user is a predetermined value or more, information about a coupon or point which may be used at a store within a predetermined range may be requested from a management server or a chauffeur service may be requested.

Claims

1. A wearable device, comprising:

an alcohol concentration measurement unit configured to measure a blood alcohol level of a user in a predetermined cycle;

a location information measurement unit configured to measure information about a location of the user;

a coupon request unit configured to request information about a coupon or point capable of being used at a store within a predetermined range from a management server when the blood alcohol level of the user is a predetermined value or more; and

a communication unit configured to transmit and receive information about the blood alcohol level of the user and information about the location of the user to and from an external apparatus over a communication network.

2. The wearable device of claim 1, wherein the alcohol concentration measurement unit measures the blood alcohol level based on a change of a body temperature or heart rate of the user.

3. The wearable device of claim 1, wherein the alcohol concentration measurement unit stores a blood alcohol level of the user, checks a drinking habit of the user, and notifies the user of a possibility of a disease attributable to the drinking habit of the user.

4. The wearable device of claim 1, further comprising a chauffeur request unit configured to query the user as to whether a chauffeur call request is to be transmitted to the management server when the blood alcohol level of the user is the predetermined value or more.

5. The wearable device of claim 1, wherein when the alcohol concentration of the user is the predetermined value or more, the communication unit sends a settlement signal of the user to the management server when the user performs settlement at a food store.

6. The wearable device of claim 1, further comprising a display unit configured to display the blood alcohol level of the user in real time and to display a warning message when the blood alcohol level of the user is the predetermined value or more.

7. A wearable device, comprising:

a measurement module configured to measure a body composition or motion of a user;

a control module configured to calculate a quantity of motion based on the measured motion of the user; and

a communication module configured to send information about the measured body composition or quantity of motion to a management server and to receive feedback information for the transmitted information from the management server.

8. The wearable device of claim 7, wherein the measurement module comprises:

a body composition measurement sensor configured to measure the body composition by measuring a resistance value generated when an electric current flows into a body of the user; and

a motion sensor configured to measure at least one of a muscle motion, heartbeat, and respiration volume of the user.

9. The wearable device of claim 7, wherein the measurement module measures an amount of muscle or body fat of each part of the user and notifies the user of an unbalanced part.

10. The wearable device of claim 7, wherein the control module calculates the quantity of motion by taking into consideration at least one of pieces of body information comprising a height, weight, body composition, and sex of the user.

11. The wearable device of claim 7, wherein the feedback information comprises at least one of fitness equipment information, sporting goods information, food information, and coupon information corresponding to information about a body of the user.

12. A service providing method, comprising:

(a) detecting, by a sensor unit, sweat secreted from a body of a user who has worn a wearable device;

(b) measuring, by the sensor unit, a composition ratio of the detected sweat and storing the measured composition ratio in a memory unit along with a current location of the user as first information;

(c) sending, by a communication unit, the first information stored in the memory unit to an information providing apparatus;

(d) receiving, by the communication unit, second information which is a result of an analysis of the first information from the information providing apparatus; and

(e) outputting, by a control unit, the second information to one or more of a display unit and a speaker unit.

13. The service providing method of claim 12, wherein the wearable device comprises any one of a smart watch, smart glasses, and a smart band.

14. The service providing method of claim 13, wherein if the wearable device is the smart watch, the sensor unit is mounted on one or more of a back of a main body of the smart watch and an inside of a strap of the smart watch.

15. The service providing method of claim 13, wherein if the wearable device is the smart glasses, the sensor unit is mounted on one or more of a nose pad, inside of a temple, and inside of an end piece of the smart glasses.

16. The service providing method of claim 12, wherein the second information comprises information about a commodity to be recommended to the user in relation to the composition ratio of the sweat of the user which is included in the first information.

17. The service providing method of claim 16, wherein the second information further comprises information about a place where a commodity to be recommended to the user is handled, which is a closest to the current location of the user.
