The power management unit may further include a piezoelectric element and a thermoelectric element to charge the battery.

The control unit may determine the health state of the companion animal by acquiring the exercise amount, the walking pace and the pulse information of the companion animal using the movement sensing unit.

Wherein the control unit controls to connect the external electronic device to the external electronic device by using the communication unit, confirms whether a short-distance communication connection with the external electronic device is maintained, and, when the short- It is possible to control the electronic device to send a warning message.

The electronic device may form the appearance of a shoe or sock.

The electronic device may include an inner skin and an outer skin, and the inner skin and the outer skin may be combined in a hook structure.

A display section; And an input unit, wherein the display unit, the input unit, the light emitting device unit, the audio unit, and the communication unit are located on the outer skin, and the movement sensing unit and the power management unit may be located on the inner skin.

It should be understood that the embodiments disclosed herein and in the drawings are illustrative only and are not intended to limit the scope of the various embodiments disclosed herein to facilitate understanding and understanding of the various embodiments disclosed herein . Thus, the scope of various embodiments disclosed herein is not limited to the embodiments disclosed herein, and all changes or modifications that come about based on the technical idea of various embodiments disclosed herein are within the scope of various embodiments disclosed herein Should be interpreted as being.
