1. A wearable device comprising:
- at least two sensors configured to detect biometric information of a wearer of the wearable device;
a connector electrically connecting the at least two sensors to each other and having elasticity;
a communicator configured to transmit the biometric information to an external apparatus; and
at least one processor configured to control the at least two sensors and the communicator,wherein the at least two sensors are imbedded in a ring structure or a band structure comprising a fastening portion at two ends,wherein each of the at least two sensors comprises;
an emitter configured to emit light, andan optical receiver configured to receive the light emitted from the emitter,wherein the connector electrically connects at least two of the emitter, the optical receiver, or the at least one processor, andwherein a location of at least one of the emitter, the optical receiver, or the at least one processor changes according to a length of the connectorwherein the communicator is further configured to receive a short-distance wireless communication signal from an apparatus broadcasting identification (ID) information, andwherein the at least one processor is further configured to control the communicator to transmit alarm information to the external apparatus based on a strength of the short-distance wireless communication signal.
