Description

Wearing equipment, suit that has this wearing equipment

Technical Field

The present invention relates generally to a wearable device for wearing by a user, and more particularly to a suit equipped with such a wearable device (e.g., to capture parameters such as a user's voice, acceleration metrics, etc.), and still more particularly to a sensor assembly that facilitates real-time sensing of physical signs while worn.

Background

With the increasing standard of living and the increasing pace of living, clothing and accessories that are easier and more comfortable to wear/wear and more versatile are desired. This generally involves continual improvement in the functional expansion designs and manufacturers' styling of existing apparel that is satisfactory for the outside of the garment. Based on such development trend, besides comfort and personalized tailoring, it is more capable of improving the wearing experience of the user to make the clothes provide various functions. For example, with the popularization and function integration of various consumer electronic products, the usage rate of multimedia data resources along with the mobile terminals of users is increasing, which requires additional devices capable of adapting to the mobile terminals (e.g., electronic consumer products) to receive the multimedia data to the users. When receiving and playing, for example, multimedia data, the most common frequency of use is an earphone or a speaker device with a microphone, which is easy to wear. As related art is continuously improved, transmission quality and cost of the headset and structural design become diversified.

At present, a main form of a speaker device capable of being carried is an earphone product, which is basically of a left-right ear wearing type, such as an in-ear type, a head band type or an ear-hanging type, and left and right playback parts are assigned to transmit audio data of left and right channels. Such a design has a certain drawback that the playing component needs to be connected to the multimedia player device through the lead wire, but the lead wire is usually touched, pulled or wound, which affects the service life of the lead wire on the one hand, and affects the wearing position of the playing component on the other hand, for example, the playing component is also pulled off when the lead wire is pulled, and the wearing position of the earphone can be relatively well fixed by the design of the in-ear and in-ear earphones, but the effect is not absolutely ideal. In addition, a wireless earphone or a rib-shaped wire management frame is designed, so that the problem of winding or touching of a lead wire during wearing can be solved, and particularly the requirement of a user during sports (such as running and riding) can be solved, wherein the wireless earphone mainly transmits multimedia data through a protocol such as Bluetooth BLE 4.0.

As a mode of wearing equipment, the user can not be convenient for accomodate and deposit, and the practical effect is not very obvious, and the user still need use dedicated part to deposit. Although wireless earphones and charging mechanisms that facilitate the storage of the wireless earphones have appeared with the development of wireless communication technology, they are not convenient to carry and store themselves. Furthermore, such headsets are inconvenient to wear, especially when the user is in heavy exercise, which may cause loosening.

Detailed Description

Technical features and effects of the present invention will be more fully apparent from the construction as depicted in the accompanying drawings. In the embodiments of the present invention listed below, the general definition of the direction is in terms of the direction shown in the drawings or the usage habit of the user, and is not a definition of the technical solution itself. For example, references to "left", "right" or "upper", "lower", etc., defining features are introduced for convenience of description. Fig. 1 depicts more schematically the shape-forming configuration of such a suit according to the invention, and for the sake of convenience of description, only the upper part of the suit is shown in fig. 1, but it can also be provided in a fabric or composite sandwich, for example trousers, or in the form of pants, or the like, according to the same principle and manner of use, so as not to interfere with the user's wearing. For example, the wearing device of the present invention may be more conveniently and snugly embedded in the inner layer or threaded fabric of the coat to more closely conform to the body surface of the user 1. That is, the user 1 can support the wearable device or make it fit the human body structure more closely after wearing the jacket.

To satisfy such an effect, the mechanical structure of the wearable device in fig. 1 may include: left and

right play components

10 and 20 can be compactly combined with each other to form a regular uniform whole (e.g., a sphere, a square, or an ellipsoid), wherein the two play components can be connected to each other through a cable 200, such as for transmitting power and audio data.

Thus, in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, a suit can be provided, which has a fabric body for wearing a cover, in which a sensor (30,40) for sensing the activity of the human body, a drawstring portion 31, and a connecting portion 41 connecting the sensor (30,40) and the drawstring 30 are embedded, the sensor is used for sensing the electrical parameter generated during the activity of the human body, and the connecting portion 41 is used for receiving the sensor 30 and the sensor 40 and transmitting the relative displacement between the two sensors. For example, the fabric body may be woven using suitable cotton, polyester or the like material into a garment shape for the user to wear and may be covered by zippers/buttons or the like, or the fabric body may be woven or sewn using other skin-friendly materials, such as polyester, lyocell or polycarbonate. Wherein the sensors may be sewn into the fabric body during sewing, for example, in fig. 1, the sensors 40 may be sewn symmetrically in pairs at positions corresponding to the back, axilla and/or rib of the human body to facilitate better fit to the human body and to be able to sense human body sensing parameters or to be able to be used for sensing physical energy to collect heat.

In one example, the drawstring 31 is threaded through the portion of the body corresponding to the neck of the person, the drawstring 31 includes the cable 200, and the sensor 30 may include the wearable device, or the wearable device may be removed from the sensor 30 or from the body to be used as a separate device. In another example, sensor 30 and sensor 40 may have different sensing coefficients from each other. For example, the sensors 30 and 40 are accelerometers but have sensing coefficients of opposite polarity to each other, which allows the sensor 30 to be more closely fitted or even applied to the human body surface by the tightening action of the drawstring 31, thereby generating a first acceleration amount to indicate that the user is in motion when sensing the motion of the user wearing the jacket, and a second acceleration amount to be detected by the sensor 40, and the amplitude of the motion of the user to be determined by the change in the second acceleration amount relative to the first acceleration amount, that is, the amplitude of the motion of the user can be calculated when the sensor 40 is located on both sides of the user's back (such as at the position of the scapula), thereby determining whether to prompt the user for corresponding information.

As another example, the sensor 40 may also be positioned in an underarm location to sense and collect thermal energy, particularly to initiate the action of the sensor 40 when a user's, such as a regular amount of acceleration (which may be determined to be the user's gait) is sensed by the sensor 30. The sensor 40 may be a thermocouple element used to collect energy by converting incremental amounts of thermal energy into electrical energy for use in transmitting power to the wearable device of embodiments of the present invention. In this way, when the wearable device is worn for use, the sensor assemblies can be better held in the fabric and the interface for charging can be left unexposed, thereby better preventing dust and water seepage.

An example of such a wearing device structure is depicted in fig. 2 and 3, in which, for example, the left playing part 10 and the right playing part 20 have a symmetrical configuration in terms of a spherical whole, for example, the left playing part 10 has a substantially hemispherical configuration, and a first splicing surface and a second splicing surface are provided at the splicing outer edge 12 of the hemispherical configuration, wherein a plurality of splicing grooves are formed on the first or second splicing surface, such as the splicing groove 122 for screwing and fastening when the left playing part 10 and the right playing part 20 are spliced with each other, as shown in the exploded view of fig. 4, or other splicing structures, such as a flexible splicing structure, which are deformed when pressed by a user.

In the example depicted in FIG. 3, the first and second mosaic surfaces may have different thicknesses, e.g., the first mosaic surface may have a greater thickness than the second mosaic surface, and the second mosaic surface may be configured to mechanically completely conform to the second mosaic surface, such that a user may invert the left playback element 10 to piece with the right playback element 20 as a sphere when mosaic. Thus, such a play component is more user-friendly and portable. It should be understood that the first and second mating surfaces may more smoothly transition into each other than the configuration shown in fig. 3, so as to completely conform to each other as a design criterion.

An interface adapted to the cable 200 is also provided on the surface of each playing part, for example, an interface adapted to the cable may be used

The first interface 11 and the second interface 21 of the

dedicated Lightning interfaces

201 and 202 of the device may also be of other typesData/power interfaces, e.g. adapted to

Type-C Type interface of the system. In this manner, external power can be supplied to each playback section through the first interface 11 or the second interface 21. Alternatively, when the mobile terminal 300 is wirelessly coupled to the wearable device without being coupled to such an interface, the left and

right play parts

10 and 20 may be fixed by providing a snap structure at the interface position of the cable 200. Wherein data is communicated wirelessly, for example, at an intermediate location of the cable 200 (such as hidden within the tissue) or coupled within the sensor 30. When paired, interface 301 of mobile terminal 300 may present an adjustment indication representing the status parameter communicated to the wearable device.

As a modification, a power path may be provided in the spliced outer edge 12 where the left playing part 10 and the right playing part 20 are joined, for transmitting power between the left playing part 10 and the right playing part 20. In one embodiment, for example, the right playing piece 20 may have a slot 23 for mounting a battery 24, which is enclosed by a cover plate 22 opened on the surface of the right playing piece 20. Because additional power drive support is required when audio data is acquired in a wireless mode, a battery or similar energy storage components can be used for providing working power supplies for various playing components.

According to fig. 4, each playback element has a hollow space 14 which is recessed for accommodating and adapting to the contour of the ear of the user 1. Wherein a first collar part 121 is provided at the part of the first joint surface extending into the cavity part 14, and a second collar part 13 is provided at the part of the second joint surface extending into the cavity part 14, and the first collar part 121 and the second collar part 13 cooperate to enable the wearable device structure 100 to be clipped and held on the ear of the user 1. Wherein, when viewed in cross section, the extending part edges of the first clamping part 121 and the second clamping part 13 have a preset curvature, and the edges are suitable for gradually fitting the outline part of the ear to gradually tighten the outline part of the ear in the process of extending the outline of the ear into the cavity part 14 during wearing.

In some embodiments, the predetermined arc is between 0.262 and 0.698. In the example shown in fig. 5, the predetermined arc of the edge 1212 and the edge 132 is approximately 0.524. While in the example shown in fig. 6, the edge 1212 has a predetermined arc of approximately 0.262, the arc of the edge 1211 may be 0. Figures 5 and 6 show various ways of designing the edge.

Fig. 7 shows a user's use state when wearing the left playing part 10 to the ear 1, and the above design principle can be understood in more detail through the drawing. Referring to fig. 5 and 6, when the ear 1 is nested in the left playing part 10, the upper and lower shells 901 and 902 (or earlobe) of the ear 1 can be respectively clamped by the

edges

1212 and 1211 and the

edges

131 and 132 to keep the wearing position.

Fig. 8 schematically illustrates a method for a user to wear the playing part, the user can face the opening portion of the cavity portion 14 of the playing part toward the ear portion 1 and let the ear portion 1 fully extend into the cavity portion 14, and then rotate the playing part in the direction R, so that the upper and lower outlines of the ear portion 1 can be blocked and tightened by the edge 1212 and the edge 131, respectively, to complete the wearing process. In one embodiment, the cavity portion 14 of each playing piece has a gasket 107 attached to the outer edge 12, and the gasket 107 surrounds a screen 15 for covering the internal structure of the wearing device and transmitting the sound source, so as to increase the wearing comfort of the ear 1. The cushion 107 is preferably a soft flexible bladder structure which, in the embodiment shown in fig. 6, is adapted to be gradually inflated to compress, for example, the upper contour 901 of the ear 1 to achieve a cinching effect as the contour of the ear 1 is progressively nested within the slots formed by

edges

1211 and 1212 during wear. In this embodiment, at least a portion of the outer surface of gasket 107 is used as edge 1211 and at least another portion of the outer surface is used as edge 132.

In one embodiment, the thickness of the washer 107 may be non-uniform, such as according to the illustration of fig. 4, the thickness of the washer 107 gradually increases smoothly towards the end of the wearing stroke of the ear 1. One effect of this is that, unlike previous wearing devices where the cushion is only used for comfort, the cushion 107 in this embodiment makes the degree of pressing force from the end to the beginning of the stroke more uniform with a gradual pressing process, so as to better grip the upper contour 901 of the ear 1.

Referring to the example of fig. 4, for example, the left playback element 10 may have a driver circuit 104 therein for coupling to and controlling a sound board 105 to play multimedia content, such as music. The soundboard 105 may have a membrane 125 attached to a surface to assist in enhancing the audio vibration of the speakers 115. Meanwhile, the sound board 105 and the drive circuit 104 are enclosed by the partition board 106 and the

casings

1221, 1222, and the position of the speaker 115 is attached corresponding to the sound hole 116. Further, in order to better isolate the soundboard 105 from the driving circuit 104, the soundboard 105 and the driving circuit 104 may be respectively mounted in the cavity 101 and the cavity 102 of the first housing 1221, the

cavities

101 and 102 being separated from each other.

The left play component 10 may have a second housing 1222 that receives the first housing 1221 for housing a battery or other expansion components, such as in the example shown in fig. 3, a battery 24 is housed in a power supply slot 23 and enclosed by a cover 22. The driving circuit 104 is provided with an interface circuit 111 corresponding to the position of the first interface 11, and the soundboard 105 and the driving circuit 104 are electrically coupled by a cable 115 (e.g., a flat cable). The above construction is equally symmetrically applicable to right play part 20.

The drive circuit 104 further includes: an identification circuit for receiving and identifying the digital command transmitted from the interface circuit 111 after being switched on; a processor coupled to the recognition circuit, receiving the digital commands and performing corresponding operations, for example, converting each digital command into natural language with audible voice to play so as to prompt the user more conveniently; and a memory coupled to the processor for storing multimedia content data.
