    Abstract: An extended reality (XR) device and a method for controlling the same are disclosed. The XR device is applicable to 5G communication technology, robot technology, autonomous driving technology, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. The XR device includes a communication module configured to communicate with a Head-Mounted Display (HMD) that is worn by a user to provide the user with Virtual Reality (VR) content, a camera configured to receive an image of a first space including the user, and a processor configured to transmit VR content to the HMD through the communication module. The processor recognizes a position of the user and positions of a plurality of real-world objects within an image of the first space. When the user moves closer to at least one of the recognized objects by a predetermined distance or less, the processor warns the user of possibility of collision with the at least one recognized object.

  • Patent number: 11051762
    Abstract: An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device includes a case and a battery cover forming an appearance of the electronic device and a printed circuit board mounted inside the case and provided with electronic elements. A measurement sensor is mounted on at least a portion of the printed circuit board. One surface of a recess of the printed circuit board, on which the measurement sensor is mounted, is formed at a different height from other portion of the printed circuit board in a thickness direction of the electronic device. The recess, on which the measurement sensor is mounted, is thinner than the other portion and is spaced apart from the other portion, and thus the electronic device can more accurately measure a body temperature of a user.
