Claim 0:
1. A method of recognizing, by a wearable device, a user gesture, the method comprising:
identifying a trigger gesture of the wearable device, the trigger gesture being a gesture that activates one or more inactive electromyography sensors;
obtaining an electromyographic signal set from a plurality of electromyography sensors, based on a movement of a user's body for the identified trigger gesture;
obtaining at least one output value by using one or more electromyographic signals from among the obtained electromyographic signal set, as an input to a gesture recognition model;
selecting, based on the obtained at least one output value, at least one active electromyography sensor to recognize the user gesture when the wearable device is in a standby mode;
activating the selected at least one active electromyography sensor based on the wearable device being in the standby mode;
recognizing the user gesture by using the activated at least one active electromyography sensor based on the wearable device being in the standby mode; and
activating the selected at least one active electromyography sensor and other electromyography sensors together among the plurality of electromyography sensors, based on a comparison between the recognized user gesture and the trigger gesture.
