  • Patent number: 10187164
    Abstract: A mobile terminal and a method for controlling the mobile terminal are disclosed. A mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, together with an external device separated therefrom, may measure body composition by using human body medium communication. The mobile terminal and the external device have two electrodes that contact areas of a user's body. The mobile terminal outputs a test signal through a first body area contacting a first electrode, and transmits the test signal to the external device through the user's body. The external device generates a feedback signal corresponding to the test signal. The mobile terminal detects a second signal which is the feedback signal that passes through the body and is transmitted through a second electrode. The mobile terminal uses the difference between a reference signal corresponding to the test signal and the second signal to calculate the body composition of the user.

  • Patent number: 10172562
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a mobile terminal with a health care function and a method of controlling the mobile terminal. An embodiment of the present invention relates to a mobile terminal with a health care function. The mobile terminal includes a sensing unit that senses a living body signal from a user and information on user's surroundings when performing the health care function, a controller that generates a numerically-valued living body information using the living body signal, sets a reference range of numerical values using the information on the user's surroundings and generates alerting information depending on whether or not a numerical value of the living body information falls into the reference range of numerical values, and a display unit that displays the alerting information under the control of the controller.
