Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a wearable device including: a biological-signal sensing unit that senses a biological signal of a user; a vehicle-state sensing unit that senses a state where a vehicle that the user gets in is moved; and a controller that determines a parking mode and a parking direction using a result of the sensing by the vehicle-state sensing unit, when the vehicle is parked, and that measures a level of user tension for the parking mode and the parking direction that are determined using the biological signal that is sensed while the vehicle is being parked, in which the controller selects the parking mode and the parking direction that the user prefers, based on the measured level of user tension, and provides the user with information relating to a parking lot where the vehicle is able to be parked in the parking mode and the parking direction that are selected.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A wearable device comprising: a biological-signal sensing unit configured to sense a biological signal of a user wearing the wearable device; a vehicle-state sensing unit configured to sense a movement state of a vehicle driven by the user wearing the wearable device; and a controller configured to: identify parking events for the vehicle driven by the user wearing the wearable device, determine levels of user tension for multiple different parking mo…
