Abstract

The present disclosure provides a wear system for providing a service. The wear system may comprise a wear device configured to detect authentication information regarding a user wearing the wear device in a first state, to transmit the authentication information to a server, and if authentication of the user is complete through the server, to detect user data of the wear device in a second state and to transmit the user data to the server and the server, upon detecting identification information regarding the user using the authentication information received from the wear device, to complete the authentication of the user, to generate a user profile based on the user data received from the wear device, to store the user profile corresponding to the identification information, and to provide service information related to the user to the wear device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wear device comprising:
a communication module comprising communication circuitry; and
a first controller configured to:
detect authentication information regarding a user wearing the wear device in a first state which is a low-power standby state,
transmit, through the communication module, the authentication information to a server,
receive, through the communication module, authentication complete information generated based on the authentication information and identification information regarding the user from the server, and
wake up a second controller and switch into a sleep state in response to the receiving the authentication complete information,

the second controller configured to:
after being woken up by the first controller, detect user data of the wear device in a second state, and transmit the user data to the server.

2. The wear device of claim 1 ,
wherein the first controller is configured to detect the authentication information and wearing of the wear device using at least one sensor among a plurality of sensors in the first state;
wherein the second controller in the second state is configured to detect the user data of the wear device using the plurality of sensors, upon detecting taking off the wear device using the at least one sensor, wake up the first controller and switching into the sleep state;
wherein the plurality of sensors is configured to detect the wearing and taking off the wear device, the authentication information, and the user data.

3. The wear device of claim 2 , wherein the at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors is configured to detect a bio signal of the user wearing the wear device, and wherein the authentication information includes the bio signal.

4. The wear device of claim 1 , wherein the first controller is further configured to:
perform an operation of authenticating the user through the server using an electronic device connected with the wear device,
transmit the user data to the server, and
receive service information related to the user from the server.

5. The wear device of claim 1 , wherein the second controller is further configured to:
transmit configuration information regarding the wear device to the server upon completing the authentication of the user through the server, and
receive service information corresponding to the configuration information regarding the wear device from the server,
wherein the service information corresponding to the configuration information regarding the wear device includes at least one application available on the wear device.

6. The wear device of claim 1 , wherein the second controller is further configured to:
store the user data in the wear device or an electronic device connected via the communication module if the wear device has not established a communication connection with the server, and
transmit the user data stored in the wear device or the electronic device to the server to be synced if a communication connection with the server is established.

7. A method comprising:
detecting authentication information regarding a user wearing a wear device in a first state which is a low-power standby state;
transmitting the authentication information to a server;
receiving authentication complete information generated based on the authentication information and identification information regarding the user from the server;
waking up a second controller and switching a first controller into a sleep state in response to the receiving the authentication complete information;
after the second controller wakes up, the second controller detecting user data of the wear device in a second state, and
transmitting the user data to the server.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein transmitting to the server includes detecting, by a first controller of the wear device, wearing the wear device using at least one sensor of a plurality of sensors in the first state, and detecting, by the first controller of the wear device, the authentication information using the at least one sensor.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors detects a bio signal of the user wearing the wear device, and wherein the authentication information includes the bio signal of the user.

10. The method of claim 7 , further comprising: allowing the first controller of the wear device to switch into a sleep state and detecting the user data of the wear device using a plurality of sensors in the second state and transmitting the user data to the server by the second controller of the wear device.

11. The method of claim 7 , further comprising, waking up the first controller and switching the second controller into the sleep state upon detecting taking off the wear device using at least one sensor of a plurality of sensors in the second state.

12. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
transmitting configuration information regarding the wear device to the server upon completing the authentication of the user through the server; and
wherein the service information corresponding to the configuration information regarding the wear device includes at least one application available on the wear device.

13. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
storing the user data in the wear device or an electronic device connected via communication with the wear device if the wear device is not in communication with the server; and
transmitting the user data stored in the wear device or the electronic device to the server to be synced if a communication connection with the server is established.
