Abstract
Provided is a method of identifying a hand of a genuine user wearing a wearable device. According to an embodiment, the method includes using a sensor included in the wearable device to recognize a hand located in a detection area of the sensor; estimating a position of a shoulder connected to the recognized hand based on a positional relation between the orientation of the recognized hand and at least one body part connected to the recognized hand; and using information about a probability of a shoulder of the genuine user being present in the estimated position to determine whether the recognized hand is a hand of the genuine user.
