Abstract

Provided are a personal safety device and an operating method of the same according to embodiments. The personal safety device includes a communication interface; a memory storing at least one instruction; and a processor configured to execute the at least one instruction to obtain at least one of a user's personal environment information or surrounding environment information, identify an action to be performed for the user, based on the obtained at least one of the personal environment information or the surrounding environment information, identify a device to perform the identified action, based on the obtained at least one of personal environment information or surrounding environment information, and perform the determined action by using the identified device.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A personal safety device comprising:
a communication interface;
a memory storing at least one instruction; and
a processor configured to execute the at least one instruction to:
obtain personal online activity of a user, the personal online activity of the user being obtained from at least one of: a social media service, a messaging service, or a Really Simple Syndication (RSS) service;
identify a current emotion of the user based on the obtained personal online activity,
determine, based on obtained movement information, whether the user is driving in a speed category while the current emotion is a predefined emotion; and
based on determining that the current emotion of the user is the predefined emotion occurring while the user is driving in the speed category, perform a action corresponding to the predefined emotion occurring while the user is driving in the speed category, from among a plurality of actions stored in the memory, wherein the memory further stores predefined emotions in association with the plurality of actions such that different predefined emotions are associated with different actions.

2. The personal safety device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the at least one instruction to:
obtain biological environment information of the user from biological data of the user detected by one or more sensors; and
identify a physical condition of the user, based on the user's biological environment information.

3. The personal safety device of claim 1 , wherein the action comprises at least one of outputting an image, outputting a warning, outputting an audio signal, or controlling an Internet-of-things device.

4. The personal safety device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform the action by transmitting information to a personal device of the user or a peripheral device around the user, which is capable of being controlled by the user.

5. The personal safety device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to customize, by the user, the action, and an electronic device to perform the action.

6. The personal safety device of claim 1 , wherein the personal safety device is embodied on a system-on-chip.

7. An operating method of a personal safety device, the operating method comprising:
obtaining personal online activity of a user, the personal online activity of the user being obtained from at least one of: a social media service, a messaging service, or a Really Simple Syndication (RSS) service;
identifying a current emotion of the user based on the obtained personal online activity;
determining, based on obtained movement information, whether the user is driving in a speed category while the current emotion is a predefined emotion; and
based on determining that the current emotion of the user is the predefined emotion occurring while the user is driving in the speed category, performing as action corresponding to the predefined emotion occurring while the user is driving in the speed category, from among a plurality of actions stored in the memory, wherein the operating method further comprises storing predefined emotions in association with the plurality of actions such that different predefined emotions are associated with different actions.

8. The operating method of claim 7 , further comprising:
obtaining biological environment information of the user from biological data of the user detected by one or more sensor; and
identifying a physical condition of the user, based on the user's biological environment information.

9. The operating method of claim 7 , wherein the performing the action comprises at least one of outputting an image, outputting a warning, outputting an audio signal, or controlling an Internet-of-things device.

10. The operating method of claim 7 , wherein the performing of the action includes performing the action by personal device of the user or a peripheral device around the user, which is controllable by the user.

11. The operating method of claim 7 , further comprising:
customizing the action, and an electronic device to perform the action by the user.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for executing the method of claim 7 in a computer.
