Disclosed is a wearable terminal. The terminal may comprise: a detection circuit; a first electrode and a second electrode which are connected to the detection circuit to form open loop circuits, respectively, and are spaced apart from each other; and a control unit for controlling the wearable terminal to perform a pre-configured function when the first electrode and the second electrode simultaneously come into contact with a part of a user's body, and the detection circuit, the first electrode, and the second electrode then form a signal pathway through the part of the user's body.
